Masters of Reality is a rock band named after the album “Master of Reality” by Black Sabbath formed in 1981 by guitarist, producer and singer Chris Goss and Tim Harrington in Syracuse, New York. The band is now part of the “Palm Desert Scene”, which includes Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age and many other stoner rock or (as they prefer to call it) desert rock bands.

After its first incarnation - which consisted of Chris Goss, Tim Harrington, Vinnie Ludovico and Googe - broke apart in 1989, the band developed into a band with alternating lineups. Masters of Reality resurfaced making headlines when former Cream drumming-legend Ginger Baker joined the band on their second album Sunrise on the Sufferbus which was recorded in 1992. Although the band landed a Top 10 chart hit with the single “She Got Me (When She Got Her Dress On)” Baker left the band only one year later. Victor Indrizzo, at that time drummer for Circus of Power, was asked to join and fill the vacant spot and agreed.

Goss’ connection to Queens of the Stone Age resulted in the collaborative CD Deep in the Hole in 2001, and two years later, in the release of the subsequent live album Flak ‘n’ Flight.

Since their formation, Masters of Reality has made very different kinds of music, ranging from Stoner metal over progressive art rock to Beatlesque pop music.

I can't understand why people are dissing the new album. Great, hook laden stuff which shows Goss is still the master of the weird riff. I reckon it's their best since Sunrise. Good to see them incorporating elements of Krautrock rythms into the sound - the drumming on Worm in the Silk is total Jaki Leibezeit. Even the jams are great. Why not a double album of more weird shit? My favourite cult band of all time since 1988.

New album is alright but really lacks the coherency of their best albums, like the debut and Sunrise.

Not much positive to say about the new record. Goss continues to release uneven albums with too many fillers, with this one being their worst after Western Lodge. Some good ideas and hooks here and there but for the most part this sounds like an awkward attempt at an experimental QOTSA record.
