| | Zyklon - Biography - AOL Music |
 | | An off-shoot of Norwegian fl metal legends Emperor, Zyklon was founded by guitarist/bassist Zamoth (aka Samoth, as he is known in Emperor), who wanted to focus on the more modern and aggressive aspects of the latter band's style. |
 | | Compared with Emperor, Zyklon has a more hard-edged and less atmospheric or majestic sound; its members have chosen the broader extreme metal tag, as opposed to fl metal, to describe their music. |
 | | (They have also made a point of distinguishing themselves from Zyklon-B, another, earlier, Emperor off-shoot.) Zyklon was founded in 1998, but their official lineup took a couple of years to fully come together, solidifying in the year 2000 with drummer Trym (also of Emperor) and bassist/lead guitarist Destructhor (Myrkskog) filling in the other instrumental slots. |
