During a Q&A session conducted at the 2025 Steel City Con in Monroeville, PA, Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath) confirmed that he is working on a new solo album. He also revealed that he is “using an A.I. singer” on the material.
Butler said the following:
“Oh, gosh. I’ve got tons of stuff. Since we finished the last Sabbath show [at ‘Back To The Beginning’ in July 2025], I’ve just been going through all the stuff that I’ve written since the ’80s onwards and updating everything.
And what held me back before, I didn’t have a singer when I’m at home, but A.I. [artificial intelligence] came along. [Laughs] So all my songs now, I’ve updated them all and I’m using an A.I. singer to bring all the lyrics out. So now I can take it to singers that I’m gonna be working with and go, ‘This is what I want on the album,’ so they’ve got a better idea.
Before I was just, like, playing them a bass riff or something, going, ‘Can you sing to this?’ And they’d be going, ‘Yeah.’ [Laughs] But it’s so much better now, ’cause you can sit in your studio and do everything on A.I. and then take it to proper musicians and let them take over. It’s really helped me. A lot of people think it’s cheating.”
