Masters of Reality

Masters of Reality is a hard rock group formed in 1986 by guitarist and singer Chris Goss and Tim Harrington in Syracuse, New York. The band is sometimes associated with the "Palm Desert Scene", which includes bands like Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age and many other stoner rock or (as they prefer to call it) "desert rock" bands. The band is named after the album Master of Reality by Black Sabbath.

The band's music has touched on many styles, ranging from hard rock to blues, from progressive rock to Beatlesque pop music.

Frontman Goss is also a notable producer (Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Soulwax, Melissa Auf der Maur, The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster) and has contributed to many other bands in the Palm Desert Scene and beyond.

The new album Pine/Cross Dover was released on August 24, 2009 [http://www.mascotrecords.com/index.php?cid=3&pid=263].
