Dead Cross, Secret Chiefs 3
Dead Cross boasts Faith No More vocalist Mike Patton, ex-Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo, Locust bassist Justin Pearson, and Retox guitarist Mike Crain. A hybrid of hardcore, thrash, noise, and whatever avant-garde ephemera issues from Patton’s versatile larynx ensues. Led by Patton’s Mr. Bungle bandmate Trey Spruance, Secret Chiefs 3 opens with jam/psych/worldbeat intensity.
