  4. Geezer Butler's Plastic Planet: A 90s Metal Gem

    Geezer Butler's Plastic Planet: A 90s Metal Gem

    On this episode of Afterhocks TV, hosts Matt and Chris dive deep into the legendary career of Geezer Butler, the iconic bassist best known for his work with Black Sabbath. They focus particularly on his 1995 debut album with his solo project GZR, Plastic Planet. The album, which blends heavy metal with industrial and electronic elements, is often regarded as an underrated gem of the 90s. Matt and Chris explore the unique lineup of the band at the time, which included ex-Fear Factory vocalist Burton C. Bell, whose distinct voice added a powerful dimension to the album's sound. Alongside them was the incredibly talented drummer Deen Castronovo, who would later go on to play in bands like Journey and Bad English, but here demonstrates his hard-hitting, dynamic style. The episode delves into the creative process behind Plastic Planet, which was shaped by the collaboration of these incredible musicians and Geezer Butler's own vision. The album’s blend of heavy riffs, industrial noise, and darker lyrical themes stands in stark contrast to much of the music being produced in the mid-90s, making it an important and often overlooked release for metal fans. Matt and Chris discuss how Plastic Planet captures a different side of Geezer Butler, one that moves away from the traditional Black Sabbath sound and embraces a more modern, experimental approach. They highlight standout tracks, the album’s atmosphere, and the innovative production choices that helped the album resonate within the metal community—despite not receiving mainstream attention. Whether you're a longtime Black Sabbath fan or a newer listener to Butler’s solo work, this episode is a great deep dive into a forgotten classic that has only grown in significance over time. *NOTE: Everything said here, and on every episode of all of our shows are 100% the opinions of the hosts.
