Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler is publishing an autobiography this summer.
“Into the Void: From Birth to Black Sabbath – and Beyond” will follow the band’s rise to fame from Butler’s perspective.
Harper Collins – the book’s publisher – describes the autobiography as, “A rollicking, effusive, and candid memoir by the heavy metal musician and founding member of Black Sabbath, covering his years as the band’s bassist and main lyricist through his later-career projects, and detailing how one of rock’s most influential bands formed and prevailed.
Into the Void, which will be out June 6th, “reveals the softer side of the heavy metal legend and the formation of one of rock’s most exciting bands, while holding nothing back. Like Geezer’s bass lines, it is both original, dramatic, and forever surprising.”
Butler is the third Black Sabbath member to publish an autobiography – Ozzy Osbourne published his memoir in 2009 and Tony Iommi released one in 2011.
