Chris Goss

The 'stoner rock' boom of the early 21st century can largely be attributed to the group Kyuss, and their producer, Chris Goss, who worked with the group on the majority of their albums. Although he may be best known for his production efforts (as well as guesting on countless recordings by other artists), Goss is also the singer/guitarist of critically acclaimed retro rockers Masters of Reality. The Los Angeles-based group has steadily switched members over the years, but has issued albums on a somewhat regular basis since the late '80s - 1988's Blue Garden, 1990's self-titled release, 1993's Sunrise on the Sufferbus, 1997's How High the Moon: Live at the Viper Room, 1999's Welcome to the Western Lounge, and 2001's Deep in the Hole. During the early '90s, Goss began producing other bands, including pop metallists Kik Tracee, and more importantly, Kyuss. With the emergence of bands like Soundgarden and Alice in Chains, interest in the plodding and murky sounds of Black Sabbath began to interest a whole new generation of fans - and in turn, cleared the way for bands such similarly styled bands as Kyuss.
