Cyclone

比利時(shí)thrash先驅(qū)團(tuán)體Cyclone，成立于1981年，在地下潛伏了幾年，出過(guò)一些demo、split，直到1986年方才推出首張全長(zhǎng)，強(qiáng)硬的唱腔與粗糙的音色，有來(lái)自于歐洲原始粗糙派heavy、speed的影響，也有德國(guó)樂(lè)隊(duì)的邪惡犀利，同時(shí)，不少地方還玩得頗有metallica exodus slayer 等灣區(qū)巨頭的風(fēng)采。1990年推出第二張專輯，這時(shí)他們的音樂(lè)變得更加成熟，堪稱經(jīng)典thrash作品。雖然他們并未獲得世界性聲譽(yù)，但這僅有的兩張全長(zhǎng)專輯卻為他們?cè)诒緡?guó)確定了不可取代的地位，即使在歐洲thrash界也占有一席之地，而樂(lè)隊(duì)當(dāng)年的精彩表現(xiàn)也足以令后輩贊揚(yáng)。

An obscure speed metal act from the Belgian town of Vilvoorde, Cyclone (originally known as Centurion) initially parlayed the warm fan reception to their 1985 "In the Grip of Evil" demo into a two-track appearance on Roadrunner's Metal Race compilation, then signed with the fledgling label for the release of their 1986 L.P. Brutal Destruction. The band's lineup of vocalist Guido Gevels, guitarists Stefan Daamen, Pascal Van Lint and Johnny Kerbush and drummer Nicholas Lairin soon splintered, but Cyclone recruited replacements D. Kapelle (guitar), G. Vanoverloop (bass) and G. Langhendries (drums) and hobbled along for a few more years until 1990's much improved (but still somewhat deluded of title) Inferior to None album signaled the end of their brief existence.
