Geezer Butler was incredibly busy in 1997. When he wasn't reunited with Ozzy Osbourne for a Black Sabbath tour, the longtime Sabbath bassist was fronting his own band, GZR -- a thrash metal unit that doesn't hesitate to be brutally intense on Black Science. It's crystal clear that when Butler recorded this superb CD, the last thing on his mind was trying to emulate Sabbath. In fact, the band's sound is closer to Slayer than Sabbath, and the bonecrushing, ultra-heavy album is best described as thrash with elements of alternative rock and industrial noise. From "Man in a Suitcase" to "Among the Cybermen" to "Trinity Row," Butler and colleagues Clark Brown (a passionate vocalist who has learned a thing or two from Slayer's Tom Araya), Pedro Howse (guitar) and Deen Castronovo (drums) never fail to sound evil and menacing. Black Science demonstrated that almost 30 years after Sabbath's formation, Butler was still willing to take chances. ~ Alex Henderson 2nd Rel;Formerly G/Z/R Audio Mixer: Paul Northfield.

Original bassist and founding member of the groundbreaking, multi-million selling heavy metal band Black Sabbath, Geezer Butler was also lyricist for some of their greatest songs including “Paranoid”, “Iron Man” and “War Pigs”. Reaching rarely achieved metal heights with 2 previous solo albums "Plastic Planet" and "Black Science" , Butler demonstrates with "Ohmwork" that over 30 years after Sabbath’s formation, he is still a formidable force in the metal world. Tracks such as the vicious opener “Misfit” or the booming “Pardon My Depression” are dripping with fear and loathing for the modern world. The ideas behind the songs on "Ohmwork" will be familiar to seasoned Geezer watchers and Sabbath-heads alike: the bad things in life complemented musically with uncompromising energy and aggression, super-heavy riffs and rock-solid execution.
