{"product_id":"geezer-butler_the-very-best-of-geezer-butler_2024_uni","title":"The very best of Geezer Butler","description":"THE VERY BEST OF GEEZER BUTLER is a collection of 17 tracks selected from across his solo work by Geezer Butler himself. Featuring tracks from the albums \"Plastic Planet\" (feat. Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory) (1995), \"Black Science\" (1997) and \"Ohmwork\" (2005), \"The Very Best Of Geezer Butler\" shines a light on a creative force who, as the mastermind of Black Sabbath, the originator of Heavy Metal and the lyrics that gave voice to monolithic riffs, did not rest on his laurels and created three solo albums of groundbreaking new music during those years.\n\nThe album also includes a booklet of previously unpublished personal photos from the artist's archives.\n\nGeezer Butler, founding member of Black Sabbath, presents for the first time his selection of tracks from his three iconic solo albums. 'Plastic Planet' was originally released in 1995 under the name g\/z\/r and featured Burton C. Bell of Californian industrial\/groove metal pioneers Fear Factory on vocals and is considered a classic of 90s metal. The album perfectly merged Geezer's roots in doom blues rock and the industrial-influenced metal sound that was a key element in moving the genre forward in the 90s.\n\nReturning in 1997 with 'Black Science' and initially released this time under the name Geezer, this album sees Butler working again with drummer Deen Castronovo and guitarist Pedro Howse, and like Plastic Planet, is produced by Butler and Paul Northfield (Rush, Alice Cooper, Suicidal Tendencies, Dream Theater, etc.). Bell was unable to provide vocals this time due to commitments with Fear Factory, but his industrial boots were more than adequately filled by then-completely-unknown Clark Brown, who stepped up and delivered an impressive and powerful vocal performance over the album's high-energy and powerful grooves.\n\nWith 2005's 'Ohmwork', the industrial metal influences of the previous decade were gone, but Butler still refused to look back and kept everything contemporary, drawing inspiration, as a fervent follower of music, from everything happening in rock at that time. From the pedal-to-the-metal \"Aural Sects\" to the neo-psychedelic epic \"I Believe\", 'Ohmwork' was a fitting finale to Geezer's trilogy of solo albums.","brand":"Geezer Butler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57525691122008,"sku":null,"price":23942885.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/geezer-butler_the-very-best-of-geezer-butler_2024_uni","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
