According to Kickstarter.com, Secret Chiefs 3 has surprised their fans with announcing plans to release 12 new full-length albums over the next six years. For those who my not know, Secret Chiefs 3 is an American experimental rock group that is led by guitarist and composer Trey Spruance. The group’s recordings and tours have featured different lineups, as they perform a wide range of musical styles of mostly instrumental, including surf rock, Persian, neo-Pythagorean, Indian, death metal, film music, and electronic music.
While talking about the upcoming projects, the band states: “Secret Chiefs 3 has been developing no less than twelve full-length records, simultaneously, in silence, for well over a decade. It’s really nothing short of an enormous conspiracy. The plan was never to release these all at once. That’d be idiotic. The idea was simply to get very far ahead of the curve, so that we’d have two major releases coming out every year, over a period of six years.”And that’s exactly what’s happening! Our first two releases are at the point.
Secret Chiefs 3 add: “the remaining TEN are close enough for us to launch ACT III in total confidence, because having massive amounts of fully-developed material stockpiled in huge quantities is… well, madness. The kind of madness one can feel great about! Even after collectively tiptoeing into the Apocalypse, it can’t always just be all bad news out there all the time. And if the times are asking for extreme measures, well… we have prepared quite an answer. But we aren’t out of the woods yet! Moloch really has it out for big, enormous human ideas and human-made cooperative productions. His Malefic Eminence has collapsed all the revenue streams in the world towards a false dawn of simulacra managed by henchman billionaires. Never mind them.”
Secret Chiefs 3 continues with: “With your help, this campaign finances the launch of ACT III. It offers rewards in the form of music drawn from five of the new full-length records(!) along with many other new music and merch items. (Even new music not from the ACT III full lengths!)”
