Cyclone Temple
Cyclone Temple was an American thrash metal band formed from the remnants of Znöwhite, in Chicago, Illinois. The two key members responsible for producing Znöwhite's ''Act of God'' Scott Schafer and Ian Tafoya – now using his given name Greg Fulton – found lead vocalist Brian Troch and formed Cyclone Temple and released ''I Hate Therefore I Am''.

After vocalist Debbie Gunn left Znowhite for unspecified health reasons the three remaining members of Znowhite (Greg Fulton, Scott Schafer, and John Slattery) recruited singer Brian Troch (formerly of the local Chicago band Hammeron). They performed for a brief period of time as Znowhite, but after signing with Combat Records they decided to change the name of the band to Cyclone Temple.
