Blackstar (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blackstar is a British heavy metal band, formed as a retooling of the band Carcass in 1995 but without Bill Steer. The band name comes from a Carcass song off the Swansong album. Thus far they have released only a single album. After a while the band was forced to change its name to Blackstar Rising (In North America). The band dissolved because Ken Owen suffered from a brain haemorrhage.
