GZR

GZR is a band led by Black Sabbath bassist/lyricist Geezer Butler. The band has actually been marketed with three different names on the three releases they've had. In 1995, the band was marketed as g//z/r. In 1997, it was merely geezer, and in 2005, it was GZR. Most fans refer to the band as Geezer, although Butler himself refers to the band name as "gee-zed-R." This incarnation of the band is not to be confused with Geezer's previous attempt in 1985 to form a solo band, then known as The Geezer Butler Band - the two bands are totally separate.

The band's name is derived from the name of its creator: Terence "Geezer" Butler.

Pedro Howse, the guitarist in the band, is Geezer's nephew.

Band history

The music is generally of a much harder edge than Butler is known for in Black Sabbath. This isn't a surprise, as the vocalist on his first album (Plastic Planet) was Burton C. Bell from Fear Factory, who is known for more driving and harder edged vocals than ever was displayed in Black Sabbath. The album also featured Pedro Howse on guitar, as well as Deen Castronovo (of Journey fame) on drums. Bell did not stay with the band past the recording of Plastic Planet due to Fear Factory commitments. In 1996 the band re-emerged with an exclusive track for the Mortal Kombat: More Kombat compilation, entitled 'Outworld' and featuring Anger On Anger vocalist, Mario Frasca.

Catatonic Eclipse

by: G//Z/R

Download me, kill me
I know, what I do
Time dreams are everywhere
They're watching you, too
When life slips away
Fear tastes the kill
Death teacher find me
They know what to do
Morpheus calls me
My future is here
Sleep not to dream
The meaning unclear
Down morphine passages
Throughtcybersex pleaze
To terrormorph images
Of viral disease
No time in space
No planet of hate
All ethics fade
In this silicon state
I stand at death's door
There's no need to knock
Hands of tomorrow
Winding death's clock
Morpheus calls me
My future is here
Sleep not to dream
The meaning unclear
Down morphine passages
Throughtcybersex pleaze
To terrormorph images
