Plastic Planet is the debut studio album by GZR (known at the time as g//z/r), a heavy metal band featuring Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath. The album also features Fear Factory vocalist Burton C. Bell.
Album information
The song "Giving Up the Ghost" was lyrically directed at Tony Iommi and his continuation of the Black Sabbath name at the time.[citation needed] "Detective 27" indirectly references Batman whose first appearance in 1939 was in DC Comics' Detective Comics #27.[citation needed]
The song "The Invisible" was featured on the soundtrack to the 1995 film Mortal Kombat, although the song did not appear in the film itself.[citation needed] The artist on the album was listed as "Geezer" instead of "g//z/r".[citation needed]
Samples from the British TV movie The Woman in Black can be heard on "Séance Fiction".[citation needed]
