the legendary Belgian thrashers Cyclone! Belgium’s first world-class thrash band, Cyclone, rose in the ‘80s under frontman Guido Gevels. Their 1985 demo landed them a Roadrunner Records deal, leading to Brutal Destruction (1986), which outsold King Diamond. They toured with Metallica and Sadus before disbanding in 1993—now they’re back and raging!
