A true Heavy Metal legend, Black Sabbath bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler tells his rock n roll story from industrial Birmingham to global stardom with wit, passion and a surprising softness.
The much-anticipated first book from Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler
With over 70 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 early days as a scrappy blues quartet through 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, 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.
