In 1987, MASS was signed to Enigma Records and released the album "Take You Home". "Voices in the Night", which was produced by Michael Sweet of STRYPER, followed in 1988.

In the spring of 2000, MASS released "Mass Best Ones" on Fore Reel Records. MASS returned to the studio in 2002, once again with STRYPER's Michael Sweet at the helm, to record two new songs titled "It's You" and "Empty Soul". July 2007 saw the release of MASS' "Crack of Dawn" on Escape Music.
