Born as a side project for Samoth and Trym of Emperor, Zyklon was the death metal influence of the band (present in Emperor's later albums) as its' own entity. Take away Emperor's trademark black metal, as well as helmsman Ihsan's avant-garde dispostion, and this is what you get. Base, primal, razor sharp post apocalyptic industrial tinged death metal. All this with lyrics by the murderous Bard G. "Faust"Eithun and you have a very intense and authentically brutal album. Zyklon recently called it quits and since I never felt the follow ups to their debut were as impressive... you get their first album. Enjoy.
