Zyklon has officially called it a day.  The blackened/death metal band that consisted of two former Emperor members is no more. Guitarist Samoth has released the following statement:

"After taking an official break over two years ago, it has now become the reality that Zyklon is no longer a functional band, and thus the decision is made to formally split up the band, instead of just letting it descend into nothingness." 

As a final release from the band, Candlelight Records will later this year put out a boxed set, entitled The Storm Manifesto, including all three full-length albums with various bonus material.  Zyklon played its final show in Tokyo, Japan on September 28th, 2007.

All members of Zyklon are still active on various fronts.  Samoth is currently in the studio working on the debut album for his new project, The Wretched End.  Destructhor is still touring with Morbid Angel, and is still planning to complete a new Myrkskog album with Secthdamon.  Trym is mainly working in his tattoo shop, but is scheduled to appear in a new music project soon.

No, I don't think this means Emperor is reforming.  I hope that all the guys know that their legacy should remain untarnished as they went out the right way, in a final burst of glory.
