Secret Chiefs 3 were founded by guitar and saz player Trey Spruance and are based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Their music styles vary throughout their albums with their performance of surf rock, Persian, death metal, and other various styles - the only thing unifying the diverse range of styles they play is how precisely and accurately they play them.
Some of the members were also key members of Mr. Bungle. Trey Spruance is responsible for much of the compositional work for Mr Bungle and SC3, and also appeared on Faith No More album “King For A Day”. While there is an obvious connection between the two bands in terms of personnel it should be noted that the formation of SC3 preceded the demise of Mr Bungle and that SC3’s music and philosophy diverges substantially from Trey’s Mr Bungle output. It would be a long list that included every release associated with the members of SC3. The Spruance/Dunn/Heifetz universe is non-linear and Mr Bungle a mere blip in the sea of ever deepening noise to which they contribute.
The six sub-bands are:
-Ishraqiyun
-FORMS
-Traditionalists
-The Electromagnetic Azoth
-UR
-Holy Vehm

Yes, I've read an interview about that.

Exactly. Trey hardly plays authentic Eastern music, but I love it.

shawnevans wrote:
Actually Trey said himself that one of the members had any formal training or understanding of mid-eastern or Persian music. In fact their music would probably sound more foreign to someone over in the mid-east than it would to someone here in North America.

I wonder how he is so brilliant, actually. Probably might relate to his upbringing. From his music, I can assume he grew up in a cave in the middle of a desert that had occasional strong storms (and while seeking shelter learned to play every stringed instrument possible).

Because he's a genius!!

I agree it shouldn't be overlooked, but for a newcomer I think Book M is best to start with, since overall First Grand Constitution is more noisy and avant-garde then the rest.

@EENIAC. I don't think anyone should overlook the First Grand Constitution And Bylaws. So check that out before most of those albums.
