Legendary Belgian Thrashers CYCLONE Sign To M-Theory Audio; Reveal Single/Music Video “Eliminate” From Forthcoming EP!

1986 is considered by many the pinnacle of the emerging thrash metal scene. We look back fondly and reference classics from Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Kreator, Dark Angel, Nuclear Assault, Destruction as some of these bands and the genre’s best work.

But for those who were there or who just want to scratch deeper beneath the surface there is another level of bands, bands who still made an impact and were part of the scene. Many were outside the US who are still cherished by those in the know but didn’t have the same longevity and/or commercial relevance. Belgium’s CYCLONE belongs to this 2nd layer of bands. Releasing their debut, ‘Brutal Destruction,’ on Roadrunner in 1986, an album that is an underground and cult classic.

CYCLONE fell victim of changing times and musical styles and a lack of record company support, opportunities and international exposure plus shifting musical tides led to the group calling it a day in 1993.

Until a reunion 15 years later which began a series of festival appearances the past 6 years including live performances at Graspop, Keep It True, Alcatraz and True Thrash Japan to name a few, along with a European tour supporting Midnight, and now finally some fresh music.

M-Theory Audio is proud to cooperate with CYCLONE and bring you their first new music in 35 years with the single “Eliminate” and its accompanying video!
