Zyklon is a Norwegian blackened death metal band formed in 1998 by Samoth and Trym of Norwegian black metal band Emperor, along with former members of Myrkskog, in order to make up for the fact that Emperor were no longer playing live. Despite Samoth being in a previous Emperor side project called Zyklon-B, the two are not related; while Zyklon B is the name of a lethal gas, which was used by German Nazis in the extermination of Jews during the World War II. Zyklon is, according to Samoth, a play on the word "cyclone". 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.

Zyklon's debut album, entitled World ov Worms, was quite similar to that of Destructhor's band Myrkskog's album Deathmachine. 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. 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. At this point the official line-up was Samoth, Trym Torson, Destructhor, and Secthdamon. World ov Worms is the debut album by Zyklon. ...

Zyklon's second album, Aeon, exposed the band to more media attention. The production is much more clear, with the possible exception of "An Eclectic Manner", which was produced with the cloudy and visualizing effect that is reminiscent of Emperor, in order to create a more melodic yet insidious atmosphere.
