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 group of musicians -- was ne'er 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 most noteworthy for the scathing Tony Iommi commentary on the lead "Giving Up the Ghost." Never really a live band, this outfit played a few shows with Bell's Fear Factory, and in 1997, Butler released a second disk under the emended (and more recognizable) moniker 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 punishing 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.
