Formed in 1988 as 'Katzenjammer', *Kyuss* is a stoner rock band hailing from Palm Desert, California. After changing their name to Kyuss in 1991, the band went on to release four full-length albums between 1991 and 1995. Led by Joshua Homme on lead guitar and featuring Nick Oliveri on rhythm guitar, Chris Cockrell on bass, Brant Bjork on drums, and John Garcia on vocals, Kyuss quickly gained recognition for their unique sound.

Throughout their career, Kyuss experienced several lineup changes with members leaving and returning. Despite these changes, the band continued to produce groundbreaking music that resonated with fans of stoner rock. Their self-titled EP released in 1989 showcased their talent and set the stage for their subsequent albums.

Influenced by bands like Fu Manchu and Monster Magnet, Kyuss's music combines heavy riffs with melodic elements to create a distinct sound that has influenced countless artists in the genre. Although they disbanded in 1995, members of Kyuss went on to form other successful projects such as Queens Of The Stone Age and Mondo Generator.

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner
