Masters of Reality has been creating art and music for nearly 20 years, with plenty of musical accomplishments collected along the way. The duo has worked with Rick Rubin, Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, and collaborated with Stone Temple Pilots, Twiggy Ramirez, SOULWAX, and many others.
Straying from the emphasized improvisation and rhythm of its previous albums, Masters of Reality’s new full-length album, Pine/Cross Dover (out September 14 on Cool Green Recordings), combines elements similar to the punk-rock playfulness of Public Image Limited and the technical mastery of Mahavishnu Orchestra.
Pine/Cross Dover includes a host of special guests, including Brian O’Connor (Eagles of Death Metal), Dave Catching, Merle Jagger, Brendon McNichol (Queens of the Stone Age), and more. The result is a solid, upbeat album full of hook-heavy rock songs.
