Geezer Butler

Europe 2020 press.
Released on vinyl for the first time and reissued in all their glory on CD and LP are the three essential solo albums from Geezer Butler. The nineties were a testing time for many of rock’s iconic leaders of the seventies. The nostalgia era that is now an industry of its own had yet to really come to prominence and many of the musicians who were there at rock’s dawn were left floundering as the new decade rolled around and an innovative and fresh wave of ‘alternative’ rock dominated the music world. None of this phased Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler however, who, as chief master of the heavy metal originators heavyweight bottom-end and the lyrics that gave voice to the monolithic riffs that the band made their trademark, didn’t rest on his laurels and created three solo albums of forward-thinking new music throughout those years. 1995 saw the release of his first solo album, ‘Plastic Planet’, followed in 1997 by ‘Black Science’, with ‘Ohmwork’ completing the trilogy in 2005. All three albums are now being made available for the first time ever on vinyl, with both CD and LP using newly updated cover artwork and all will be available via BMG on October 30th. ‘Plastic Planet’ was originally released under the name gzr and featured Burton C. Bell of Californian industrialgroove metal pioneers Fear Factory on vocals and is considered a classic of 90s metal.
