October 26, 1995 - 2025: 30 years of: Plastic Planet.

All modern, all sinister ...pure Geezer.

BLACK SABBATH's Geezer Butler takes a bite out of the wild 90s. Tagging along FEAR FACTORY's monster Burton C. Bell on vocals, the forefather of heavymetal attacks this era with grit. This shockwave has a name: G//Z/R.

"Download me, kill me." Armageddon, a cataclysm, a "Catatonic Eclipse". From on-line to off-line, as the sun goes black, the Earth now turns to eternal frost. Massive riffing and eerie moods, this is the end, welcome to this dead "Plastic Planet".

An ergonomic machinery, the gigawatt-powered metal of "House Of Clouds" and "The Invisible" stomps, as the mid-paced "Seance Fiction" spits out the sins of man. Out of the dark alleys, another gun-shot, another "Drive Boy, Shooting" ...a violent street riffraff of NYHC statute.

The mid 90s, a brutal wake-up call, a sick lesson in violence ...the soul of a new machine. Part modern mosh and part traditional pentatonic patterns, the G//Z/R unit is a lethal device ...this plastic planet never stood a chance. Mr. Butler is a busy man.

Working with Ozzy on his Ozzmosis CD and tour, the upcoming mammoth BLACK SABBATH reunion and eventually a second apparition with 1997's Black Science CD ...Geezer is the man.

July 1, 1997 - 2022: 25 years of: Black Science.

Hail Geezer Butler, the creator of extremes !

After 1995's geomagnetic-reversal metal mammoth Plastic Planet CD, the father of heavymetal ups the game and leaps eons ahead with futuristic metal-craftsmanship. On vocals, new frontman: Clark Brown.

The "Man In A Suitcase" punches the scenes with molten metal, with an ultra-modern flair. The following stompers "Box Of Six", "Justified" and the alien infested chug-fiesta of "Area Code 51", all re-writes the rules in extremities. Welcome to the arena, newkid Clark Brown on vocals, where he shines on the evil unorthodox "Unspeakable Elvis". Massive mosh-killings devastate on the intense "Trinity Road" and the electronica vibes "Department S".

This wicked science is filled with blackness.

This from beyond alchemy shall be known to us earthlings as: G//Z/R, GEEZER or plain deadly GZR. The man, the myth, the hand of doom and one of the original Four Horsemen, Geezer Butler breaks away from the traditions and spearheads generations forward, with still unmatched edgy cyber-metal.

The eventual many BLACK SABBATH reunions shall put the project aside, until 2005's Ohmwork CD.
