Members of three of the world’s biggest rock bands have joined together to form a new group.

Musicians from the bands Nirvana, and Soundgarden have secretly been jamming with each other for months under the name 3rd Secret.

And judging by the way they announced having formed and released new music, the name suits them perfectly.

This week, 3rd Secret announced that, not only do they exist as a band, but they had also just dropped a brand new album – enjoy.

The ultimate collaboration in iconic grunge bands has seen Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil and Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron – who also drummed for Soundgarden – come together.

Alongside the iconic band members, the 3rd Secret line-up also features guitarist Jon Bubba Dupree and singers Jillian Raye and Jennifer Johnson.
