3 - The Word Is Born of Flame & The End Is Begun
Tracks 1 (The Word is Born of Flame) and 2 (The End Is Begun) from 3's 2008 album The End Is Begun: Special Edition, on Metal Blade Records.
Since these two songs flow together, I wanted to combine them into one video, because having to listen to them in separate videos as they are elsewhere on YouTube creates a pause between them that ruins the music's momentum and flow. I found two other uploads of these tracks linked together, but one mistitles The Word Is Born of Flame, and the other has a momentary pause between the tracks, so I felt a definitive upload was necessary.
Progressive New York band 3 is one of the primary bands that inspired Coheed & Cambria, whose drummer Josh Eppard (younger brother of 3's frontman, finger-picking guitarist, and songwriter Joey Eppard) started out by drumming in 3 before Coheed & Cambria existed.
