Biography
Zyklon's debut album, entitled World ov Worms, was quite similar to that of Destructhor's band Myrkskog's album Deathmachine. World ov Worms is the debut album by Zyklon. It was released in 2001 by Candlelight Records. Myrkskog were a Blackened death metal band formed in 1993 from Drammen, Norway. The album was made up of extremely fast riffing and blast beats aided by the vocals of Daemon and lyrics written by Faust, formerly the drummer for Emperor. A blast beat is a drum beat often associated with Grindcore, although its usage predates the genre and has spread to many other forms of Extreme metal. Emperor is a Norwegian Symphonic black metal band formed in 1991 However, after this release, Zyklon changed. Secthdamon was brought to replace Cosmocrator, and Daemon was replaced by Secthdamon, even though Secthdamon had been drumming for Myrkskog. Myrkskog were a Blackened death metal band formed in 1993 from Drammen, Norway. At this point the official line-up was Samoth, Trym Torson, Destructhor, and Secthdamon.
