Original Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler had treasured to venture on a solo recording career since back in the '80s, but the chance -- and more than significantly, the right-hand group of musicians -- was never provided to the godfather of all heavy metallic element bassists until 1995 when the musician released
Shaping Planet on TVT Records under the soubriquet of GZR. While many fans mightiness make been incognizant of the group's substantial metallic element line of descent due to the confusing call, those in the know were sure sated by GZR's ultra-heavy aggro mosh metallic element. Joining Butler on
Pliant Planet ar Burton C. Bell (Fear Factory) on vocals, Pedro Howse on guitar, and drummer Deen Castronovo, whose résumé features recordings from Ozzy Osbourne, Steve Vai, Bad English, and many others. Besides its driving sound, this debut is about noteworthy for the scathing Tony Iommi commentary on the confidential information "Giving Up the Ghost." Never in truth a live band, this outfit played a few shows with Bell's Fear Factory, and in 1997, Butler released a second disk under the edited (and more than recognizable) soubriquet Geezer. The book was called
Black Science and featured obscure vocalizer Clark Brown along with Howse and Castronovo. Like
Pliant Planet, this second acquittance featured laborious riffs and o.k. sonic packaging, proving Butler to be an inventive and singularly sullen artist. Eight years and so passed earlier the ring returned with
Ohmwork.
