Biography
The band was formed when Benji’s old band Dub War disbanded after a dispute with their record label, Earache Records, and Webbe had failed to persuade them to let him record a hip-hop solo album. Robert Trujillo was working with Ozzy Osbourne at the time. He recruited Armand Sabal-Lecco as a second bassist and Brooks Wackerman on drums to perform on Mass Mental?'s only album, How to Write Love Songs. Mikey Demus of Skindred has also claimed that Roy Mayorga of Soulfly and Stone Sour also played on some tracks, as well as Whitfield Crane and Lynn Strait providing some vocals (believed to be Strait's last recording).
The band spawned a studio album, How to Write Love Songs, and a live album in Tokyo both released in Japan only, before disbanding shortly afterwards.
