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. Apparently the album was released under the name of Black Star Rising in some areas. The band dissolved because Ken Owen suffered from a brain haemorrhage.
