Cyclone Temple was a thrash metal band formed from the remnants of Znöwhite, in Chicago, Illinois.[1] All 4 original members were first part of Znöwhite before forming Cyclone Temple. The band never received commercial attention, due to the grunge explosion of the 90's.
History
Znöwhite broke up in 1989 after vocalist Debbie Gunn left to return to Sentinel Beast.[2] The other four members (Brian Troch, Greg Fulton, Scott Schafer, and John Slattery) immediately formed Cyclone Temple. They arrived on the scene at the worst time, right when thrash metal was beginning its fall after there had been a glut of sound-alike thrash bands in the mid to late 80's. The group was signed to Combat Records and recorded their first album "I Hate Therefore I Am" which released in 1991. Soon after, Combat Records's parent company Relativity Records was bought out by Sony BMG. Sony shut down Combat Records soon after buying Relativity.[3] After appearing on only one album, Brian Troch left the band. He was replaced by Marco Salinas for the 1993 "Building Errors in the Machine" EP. This EP was reworked with a few new tracks and a new singer (Sonny DeLuca) into the 1994 album "My Friend Lonely". Almost as soon as they had started, Cyclone Temple disappeared, and guitarist Greg Fulton went on to Rebels Without Applause. Sonny DeLuca went on to work briefly with SOiL and From Zero.[4] Brian Troch worked on Shooting Hemlock and The Reign of Terror.
