Into the Void: From Birth to Black Sabbath―And Beyond

By: Geezer Butler

4.20

Format: 288 pages, Hardcover

A rollicking, effusive, and candid memoir by the heavy metal musician and founding member of Black …

"Being in Black Sabbath felt like being an actor in a soap opera. It’s a minor miracle all four of the original lineup survived beyond the 1970s, let alone that we’re all still here. Along the way, we consumed enough booze and drugs to sink a battleship. Music writers spent decades trying to tear us down. There were so many lineup changes I sometimes didn’t know what band I was supposed to be in."

-Geezer Butler, Into the Void: From Birth to Black Sabbath―And Beyond

"Writing was my godsend, my treatment, my way of digging myself out of a depressive hole. That’s not an outlet a lot of working-class kids had. But because I’d been exposed to books from an early age, this method came naturally. I’d write lots of poems to expel negative feelings. Though I didn’t show them to anybody—they contained the kind of stuff you’d hesitate to tell even a psychiatrist—they became the seeds for the lyrics that would come to define my career."
