John Merriman (Cephalic Carnage) and Unhuman keep the ultra-death metal grind band well within the pummel zone of utter mayhem. One band incorporates multi-ethnic instrumentation and seasoned, soulful playing (by Eyvind Kang and Shahzad Ismaily), while the rocking, suprasensory surf band (with full orchestra) bloodies up the waters. The Secret Chiefs 3 enhance their usual multiple personalities and divide into seven individual and distinct bands, enabling the overall musical content to be distilled into pure vessels. It’s huger than anything the band has ever done: beyond psychedelia, beyond experimentalism, and beyond classification. *** Book of Horizons is the first release in an elaborate trilogy and meta-composition by Secret Chiefs 3.
