Into the Void

A gripping, detailed and honest memoir by a heavy metal musician and founding member of Black Sabbath - a 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 signature dense riffs, tuned guitars, and apocalyptic lyrics. Bassist and main lyricist Geezer Butler played a huge role in this – from suggesting the band' s name to tapping into his fascination with horror, religion and the occult.
The story told by Into the Void unfolds from the time when the band began as a blues quartet in Birmingham. Butler writes candidly about his childhood in a working-class family of seven and how his disillusionment with organized religion and class systems gave rise to lyrics and artistic themes that undoubtedly resonate strongly with fans around the world to this day.
Into the Void reveals the softer side of the heavy metal legend and chronicles the formation of one of rock' s most exciting bands. Like Geezer' s bass lines, it is original, dramatic and surprising in many ways.
