Description
Captivating, detailed, and honest memories of heavy metal musician and founding member of Black Sabbath – the band that Rolling Stone magazine called "the Beatles of heavy metal." With over 70 million records sold, Black Sabbath helped create the genre itself, thanks to their characteristic heavy riffs, down-tuned guitars, and apocalyptic lyrics. Bassist and main lyricist Geezer Butler played a huge role in this – from the idea of the band's name to drawing on his fascination with horror, religion, and the occult. The story told in Into the Void unfolds from the days when the band started as a blues quartet in Birmingham. Butler openly writes about his childhood in a seven-member working-class family and how his disillusionment with organized religion and class systems gave rise to lyrics and artistic themes that undoubtedly still resonate strongly with fans around the world. Into the Void reveals the softer side of the heavy metal legend and describes the formation of one of the most exciting rock bands. Just like Geezer's bass lines, it is original, dramatic, and surprising in many ways.
