The band is named after the album "Master of Reality" by Black Sabbath.
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 from producing Kyuss albums and 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.
Besides his involvement with this "project", frontman Chris Goss is also a very important producer (Kyuss, Soulwax, Melissa Auf der Maur, The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster etc.) and has contributed to many other bands in the Palm Desert Scene and beyond.

Masters of Reality Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here's a song from deep in the hole
La la la la la la la la la
Something for free something for you
Something for me from out of the blue
Something is wrong something is right
Something has called from out of the night
What does it mean? why do you need to know?
Here's a song from deep in the hole
La la la la la la la la la
Sick from the sea sick from the air
Sick from the view ain't nobody there
Just want a taste to feel like I did
The night that you came to the hole where I hid
When they let you down it's all you need to know
Here's a song from deep in the hole
Here's a song from deep in the hole
La la la la la la la la la
The meaning of the lyrics in Masters of Reality's song Deep in the Hole is open to interpretation, but one possible interpretation is that it is about someone who is struggling with depression or feeling lost in life. The repeated phrase "Here's a song from deep in the hole" could represent the feeling of being stuck in a dark place and trying to communicate with the outside world.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of desperation and longing for something to fill the void, whether it's "something for free," "something for you," or "something for me from out of the blue." The line "Sick from the sea, sick from the air" could be a metaphor for feeling trapped and suffocated by one's surroundings.
Overall, the song has a haunting and melancholic tone, which reflects the emotions of someone who is struggling to find their way out of a deep and dark hole.
