About
Blackstar were a British hard rock band, formed as a retooling of the band Carcass in 1995 without Bill Steer along with former Cathedral bassist Mark Griffiths (on guitar). The band name comes from a Carcass song off the Swansong 1996 album.
Blackstar released only a single album.
After a while, the band was forced to change its name to Blackstar Rising. The band dissolved because drummer Ken Owen suffered from a brain haemorrhage.
