Guide Review - Zyklon - Disintegrate
Zyklon has really hit their stride on their third release. The band, made up of Samoth (guitars) and Trym (drums) from Emperor along with vocalist/bassist Secthdamon and guitarist Destructor, unleash a violent barrage of blackened death metal.
The songs barrel along at breakneck speed with non-stop double bass and pummeling guitar riffs. They add some variety by slowing things down for a while and throwing in a guitar solo or two before blasting off again. It's brutal, it's extreme and it has a great groove. The lyrics on the album were again written by Bard "Faust" Eithun (Emperor, Scum). With titles like "A Cold Grave" and "Vile Ritual," the lyrics are as extreme as the music.
