Agreed. I find them really sterile and dull. I can, of course, appreciate their skill - but it would help if they could write a song that can be remembered for longer than the time it takes to play it.

I like Zyklon. Actually like is too strong a word to express my opinion... it's a bit less than like, but more than having no strong positive or negative feelings towards them.

Umm....does ANY death/thrash/black band write lots of songs that are "remembered?"
Seems to me that their sound has a very distinct mood, and it's not to be remembered. Doesn't mean that the music sucks.

I have these songs stuck in my head all too often. And even if most of their songs aren't very memorable, that means they sound fresh on every listen, particularly on World ov Worms.

I used to like their Aeon album a lot, overplayed it, haven't listened to in 3 years, until about a month ago nostalgia got the better of me, so I spun it again. Meh.I hazily recall the debut being much worse. World ov Worms produced a bad first impression during my Aeon fandom days and nothing on it made me eager to give it another shot.

Songs like Curse You All Men and An Elegy of Icaros are much more memorable than Zyklon's material. IX E is a decent frame of reference for the production and general sound, though. I find there's no spark in Zyklon. Doesn't sound inspired to me.

This is very true.
But since Zyklon is basically 2/3 of Emperor, those are some formidable credentials.

Emperor is vastly superior to Zyklon in originality, songwriting, melody, and overall memorability. At least in my opinion.

I agree 100%. Emperor are on a level unreached by most bands. Zyklon is at the higher levels occupied by bands not of the elite.
