Their studio recordings and tours have featured different line-ups, as the group performs a wide range of musical styles, mostly instrumental, including surf rock, Persian, Arab, Indian, death metal, film music, electronic music, and various others.
The band's name was inspired by the "Secret Chiefs" said to inspire and guide various esoteric and mystical groups, and is a reflection of Spruance's interest in such philosophies.

In 2007, it was announced Secret Chiefs 3 has always been a general name for seven different bands, each representing a different aspect of Spruance's musical and philosophical interests. The seven bands are The Electromagnetic Azoth, UR, Ishraqiyun, Traditionalists, Holy Vehm, FORMS, and NT Fan. Spruance has stated that the sound collages of The Electromagnetic Azoth serve as the center of Secret Chiefs 3.

The albums Book of Horizons (2004) and Satellite Supersonic Vol. 1 (2010) were conceived as compilation albums featuring the satellite bands under their own names. All bands have appeared on at least one of these albums. Ishraqiyun and Traditionalists have delivered full-length albums.

...soyr tellin me this music comes from this realm, ayn sof has no say in the matter? The realm of Beth I suppose chronologically oscillating into Aleph and back again. Good. Loves it.

Funny thing is I dont remember making this comment but its a reference to two mystical realms of existance in Kaballism: Ayn Soph is a name for the infinite, most high, almighty, or God.... Aleph which represents "All" and Beth which represents "Everything" but as seperate particulate matter, eg "Aleph" is the Oneness of god and everythign within existance IS god whereas the realm of Beth is like considerting that the universe is made up of an infinite number of smaller peices put together. Certain Kaballist rabbis/mystics used to meditate by "oscillating" between the two realms as a means of transcending this plane of existance and experiencing oneness with the devine. I dont even know what I meant by it though Im a weirdo.
