GZR

Alright kids, today's offering is a tangent that I have enjoyed for many years, but of which you may be completely unaware.  GZR is Geezer Butler's band when he is not actively engaged in Black Sabbath or producing for young metal bands.  Although the GZR lineup for the first album, Plastic Planet, was my favorite by virtue of having Fear Factory's Burton Bell on vocals, I like that Geezer chose Clark Brown for the albums going forward because he has a completely different-sounding voice and way of singing.  (For a fun bonus today, I'll throw you one of each.)  GZR's sound varies between super heavy (especially on Plastic Planet) and moodily atmospheric, and its lyrical content, written almost single-handedly by the Geez, jumps between politically searing and science fiction conspiracy-obsessed.  The reason I am inspired to post some GZR today is that the first GZR album in ten years has been announced for release early next year.  Anyway, medium story short, here are two GZR tracks, one full-on metal and political with Burton Bell from the Plastic Planet record, and one more atmospheric and science-fictiony with Clark Brown from Black Science (one of the best titles for an album ever.)  I hope at least one or two of you find something you like here - I like it, so you should, too.  DO WHAT I SAY!  LOVE WHAT I LOVE!  AND CRANK IT!
