# Cyclone Temple

**Cyclone Temple** is a thrash metal band, from United States, active 1989 to 1994.

Cyclone Temple was an American thrash metal band from Chicago, Illinois, formed from the remnants of Znöwhite. 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. The band never received commercial attention, due to the grunge explosion of the 1990s.
