Cyclone Temple was the continuation of Chicago speed metallists Znowhite, though whether this was just a matter of a lineup/name change or these being two different bands altogether isn't quite clear.

The different vocalists made each album a bit different (the style was otherwise consistent) -- last vocalist Sonny Deluca had a Hetfield/Chuck Billy style, while first vocalist Brian Troch had a more melodic voice, vaguely like (but not so melodic as) Joey Belladonna of Anthrax. The band stumbled through two albums, with the third release (My Friend Lonely) being mostly a re-recorded version of Building Errors with yet another vocalist and a few new tracks. Greg Fulton and Scott Schafer (the core of both Znowhite and Cyclone Temple) were later seen in yet another band, the far less thrashy Rebels Without Applause. « hide
