Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has joined forces with ex-GN’R drummer Matt Sorum, Billy Idol’s guitarist Steve Stevens, and Apocalyptica vocalist Franky Perez in a new supergroup called Deadland Ritual.
The band is set to perform at next year’s Hellfest festival in Clisson, France on June 22. Geezer and co. will grace the stage before KISS, Def Leppard, and Whitesnake.
Last year, Geezer told Rolling Stone he had “about 120 riffs written down” for his next musical project, adding he just needed “to pick a guitarist and sort through them.”
