MASTERS OF REALITY return with a full European tour this spring

The desert rock project driven by guitarist and vocalist Chris Goss, MASTERS OF REALITY, return in the spring of 2020 with a series of European shows, including festival appearances.

Chris Goss formed MASTERS OF REALITY with Tim Harrington as a two-piece in Syracuse, New York in 1981. He is also widely known for being the cornerstone producer of many behemoths of the Palm Desert scene, including Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Marc Lanegan, Mondo Generator and the Desert Sessions.

The band has released six studio albums and two live albums between 1988 and 2009. MASTERS OF REALITY have decided to return to Europe again this spring with a series of shows, including headlining performances at Desertfest London and Berlin, Kristonfest and Sonic Whip Festival.

A Warner Bros pressing of Black Sabbath’s fearsome 1971 LP “Master Of Reality”, with misprinted labels that read Masters Of Reality gave Goss and Harrington their name. “Nobody listened to Black Sabbath in 1981 if they considered themselves cool” said Goss. Copping the sonic assault of no wave duo Suicide, MASTERS OF REALITY gigged regularly at CBGB under a smutty black light haze, before expanding to a four-piece and adapting Black Sabbath’s blues-based evil deeds template as their own.
