Band biography
Blackstar Rising photo
Blackstar Rising was originally formed in 1997 by the current members of Carcass minus Bill Steer along with former Cathedral guitarist Mark Griffiths. The band was more or less a continuation of latter-day Carcass but they felt a need to adopt a new name as their music was now far from the grindcore origins of Carcass and instead closer linked to classic 70s hard rock / heavy metal. Eventually they changed their name to Blackstar Rising after having discovered another band with the same name. Drummer Ken Owen fell victim to a brain tumor during recordings for a second album, and with him unable to continue, the band folded. Owen has since been reported as getting better.
