Zyklon Was A Norwegian Blackened Death Metal With Industrial Overtones Band Formed In 1998 In Notodden Norway By Members Of Norwegian Black Metal Band Emperor Samoth And Trym Eventually Settling As A Four-Piece With Members Of Myrkskog Secthdamon And Destructhor As Well. The Band Was Created In Order To Make Up For The Fact That Emperor Was No Longer Playing Live At The Time. Zyklon Is According To Samoth A Play On The Word "cyclone" And Has Absolutely Definitely Really No Relation To The Nerve Agent Zyklon B Used By The Nazis For Mass-Murdering People For Real You Guys These Are Very Definitely Not Nazi Sympathizers At All. The Spelling Is Just An Absolute Coincidence. Despite Samoth Being In A Previous Project Called Zyklon-B Along With Emperor Member Ihsahn Among Others The Two Bands Are Separate Bands And Played A Different Style Of Metal. All Of The Band's Lyrics Are Written By Ex-Emperor Drummer Faust . Most Of The Lyrics Revolve Around Themes Like Anti-Religion Misanthropy And Philosophy. Zyklon's Debut Album Entitled World Ov Worms Was Quite Similar To That Of Destructhor's Band Myrkskog's Album Deathmachine. The Album Is Made Up Of Extremely Fast Riffing And Blast Beats Aided By The Vocals Of Daemon Of Limbonic Art . However After This Release Zyklon Changed. Myrkskog Drummer And Later Emperor Live Bassist Secthdamon Joined And Handled Vocals And Bass. Zyklon's Second Album Aeon Exposed The Band To More Media Attention. The Production Is Much Clearer And Music Videos Were Made For Two Tracks Core Solution And Psyklon Aeon. The Band's Third Effort Disintegrate Was Released On May 15 2006 To Great Critical Acclaim. It Was Recorded In November - December 2005 At The "Akkerhaugen Lydstudio" In Norway. Samoth Finally Announced The Split-Up Of The Band On January 7 2010.
