Blackstar is a British heavy metal band, formed as a retooling of the band Carcass in 1995 but without Bill Steer along with former Cathedral guitarist Mark Griffiths. The band name comes from a Carcass song off the Swansong 1996 album. Thus far they have released only a single album.

After a while the band was forced to change its name to Blackstar Rising. The band dissolved because Ken Owen suffered from a brain haemorrhage.

Members:

*Jeff Walker - Bass, Vocals
*Carlo Regadas - Lead Guitar
*Ken Owen - Drums
*Mark Griffiths - Rhythm Guitar
