Publisher's Summary

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.

Geezer - The Modest of Legends

Having read both Ozzy and To G’s autobiographies it was refreshing to get Geezer’s take on the world of Madness that was Black Sabbath.
It clears away the myth that they rode of the top of the Metal/Rock wave from day one and opens up the reality, often tough and at other times disheartening only to hang in there and as older statesmen of a genre they created reclaim the throne before they bowed out on top.
Thank you Geezer. Great book and such an honour to hear the man himself read it. Highly recommended to all who appreciate a great book on great music.

A great no frills tale

Geezer’s very self deprecating as only the British are. A warts and all story, told as it happened by a bloke that was there! Recommended

Fans should enjoy

Solid story; contradictory in parts but an earnest retelling nonetheless. This fan enjoyed. Thanks Geezer.
