SECRET CHIEFS 3

Adding data and pictures to the United Mutations Archives, here's three more excellent albums by Secret Chiefs 3.



"Eyes Of Flesh, Eyes Of Flame" is SC3's first live album. It was the second release on the Web Of Mimicry label and originally made available as a limited mail-order-only release.
Fortunately, it is back in print.

The mand behind the band (and behind the record label) is called Trey Spruance. He used to play the guitar in Mr.Bungle. With Secret Chiefs 3, Trey Spruance mixes of experimental rock, eastern rhythms and melodies and film music into something you've never heard before.

Recorded in concert somewhere in 1998, "Eyes Of Flesh, Eyes Of Flame" shows how the music sounds live. Incredible.





"Book M" and "Book Of Horizons" are my favourite SC3 albums.
On "Book Of Horizons", we get to meet the different sides of SC3 as SC3 is made up of 7 different bands, each of which has a unique sound.
