Zyklon is a Norwegian death metal band formed in 1998 by Samoth and Trym of Norwegian black metal band Emperor, along with former members of Myrkskog. All the band's lyrics are written by former Emperor drummer Faust who is currently a member of Casey Chaos' side project SCUM and Italian industrial black metal band Aborym.
Despite Samoth being in a previous Emperor side project called Zyklon-B, the two are not related; Zyklon B is the name of a lethal gas, which was used by German Nazis in the extermination of Jews during World War II. "Zyklon" is, according to Samoth, a play on the word "cyclone".
