Description
A rollicking, effusive, and candid memoir by the heavy metal musician and founding member of Black Sabbath, covering his years as the band’s bassist and main lyricist through his later-career projects, and detailing how one of rock’s most influential bands formed and prevailed.
With over 75 million records sold, heavy metal pioneers Black sabbath are one of the most influential bands of all time. From the very beginning, Geezer Butler was at the heart of their success. He named the group, provided the bass behind their distinctive sound, and wrote the lyrics that resonated so powerfully with fans around the world.
At long last, Geezer is ready to tell his side of the Sabbath story, from the early days as a scrappy blues quartet to the many lineup changes, the record-breaking tours, and the international hell-raising with Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, and Bill Ward.
Featuring Geezer's candid reflections on his working-class childhood in Luftwaffe-battered Birmingham, England; his almost-life as an accountant; and his fascination with horror, religion, and the occult, Into the Void reveals the softer side of the heavy metal legend, while holding nothing back.
Like Geezer's bass lines and the story of Black Sabbath themselves, Into the Void is original, dramatic, and one hell of a ride.
