Death metal/black metal nexus.......2007-01-15

I bought this when it came out, gave it a perfunctory half-listen, and interred it. Listened to it today (1/13/07) and am highly impressed by its power, complexity, and velocity. You'll recognize a lot of Emperor riffs and rhythms here, for obvious reasons, but that's not bad. It's very good. Without synths and Ihsan's heroic vocals, you're left with a very heavy sound which emphasizes black metal's descent from death. The crushing Samothite guitar notwithstanding, which sounds both warm and futuristic, intentional and relaxed, it is the drumming that takes this album to the next level - fairly natural, almost acoustic sound, with a slight reverboid depth - ultimately overwhelming in density and concision. Definite Morbid Angel damage on this, but I would say that the similarities stem from a shared metaphysical perspective, rather than the more obviously shared, borrowed, or inherited aesthetic.

The harbingers of a new wave of iconoclastic black metal.......2006-03-16

Burzum, Enslaved, Emperor: these are three of black metal's most prolific heavy-hitters. Each band is able to claim a place in the annals of black metal with their own unique contribution to this oft-taboo genre. So, what happens when members from these bands decide they want to expand their influence into death metal? Exhibit A: Zyklon's World Ov Worms. Of course, these guys are the only band able to get away with spelling 'of' with a 'v' and not be concerned with presenting a nu-metal image. Zyklon is the 'real thing'.

First off, expect lots of speed. Here blast beats run rampant along side buzzsaw guitars creating a raging bull of mean, death metal-influenced black metal for a new age. Moments of what can only be called the sounds of mechination punctuate eight songs of some seriously angry but seriously well-done metal. A voice says "let the death ritual begin" and is followed by gun shots, epitomizing this album's nihillistic excellence.

Unfortunately, on Aeon, Zyklon's follow up album to Worl Ov Worms, the band lost much of its unique sound and aggression, instead opting for a more brutal and mid-paced work of death metal. Lest this album be forgotten, World Ov Worms has been reissued with new art to remind us of Zyklon's contribution to the growing death/black metal crossover genre. As bands such as Behemoth, Belphegor, and, though largely (and unfortunately) inactive, Myrkskog take charge of this recently synthesized genre, in Zyklon we find a most important contribution.

Volatile!!.......2005-07-11

The World of Worms! What a crazy name and an even crazier album. Unlike Zyklon's 2nd album Aeon, this is a straight up new school Black/Death Metal album in the veins of newer Emperor and Myrkskog. This is fast volatile music and there's some surprises thrown in for a change of pace (Industrial segments). I like this album, but it really can't be compared to Aeon. This is a completely different BEAST. W.O.W has all the elements to stand above most all Death/Black metal groups. If you don't listen to groups like Belphegor or Myrkskog, the intensity may rip right pass you. Only for the Die Hards who can break down the really fast metal and enjoy the violence!! Check this out and you will not be displeased. How can you with members from Emperor, Limbonic Art, and Myrkskog?

Aggressive and mind destroying.......2004-12-03

Fantastic debut album from ex Emperor members Zamoth and Trym along with Myrkskog guitarist Destructhor and Limbonic Art vocalist Daemon. Less complex than Emperors last album "Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire & Demise" but similar in sound. They stripped out the neo classical leanings of Emperor and kept the aggression, speed and emotion. This is a hybrid of black and death metal and just rips, very angry and aggressive. A few electronica touches occur here and there but not enough to say this is industrial or goth sounding in any way. The vocals are for the most part growling except for the song "The Eruption" where clean vocals are used to great effect. This is a great album of extreme metal.

Only blackmetal i can enjoy..........2004-06-28
