Geezer Butler, bassist for Black Sabbath recently talked to KCAL about the upcoming new Black Sabbath album, 13.  The band used Brad Wilk to fill in on drums because original member Bill Ward never settled his contract dispute with the other members.  Apparently, Rick Rubin suggested the band use Wilk.  Butler explained. “He didn’t want a typical heavy metal drummer on the album,” says Butler. “It’s not really a heavy metal album. It’s more of a rock … heavy rock. And Rick Rubin suggested Brad cause he’s more in the vein of Bill Ward. So we jammed with him and he sounded great with the stuff, so we went with that … It’s sort of back to the way we used to be in the ’70s. That’s his feel — sort of a jazzy, bluesy feel to him, and that’s the way the music is now. It was great working with him.”

The new release will be out in June!  Watch Geezer discuss the band's album
