Melodic NWOBHM band best known for their one 'hit', "Lady Of Mars", which was featured on the Metal For Muthas Vol 2 compilation as well as on their debut album
THIS MIDLANDS band, originally called Berlin, were years ahead of their time.
Dark Star were led by the strange, charismatic and hairy Rick Staines, who had a penchant for leather trousers and kimonos. His band appeared on the classic first 'Metal For Muthas' volume 2 released by EMI with their best cut, 'Lady Of Mars'.
The song was to appear again on their cult debut album 'Dark Star' put out through Avatar in 1981.
'Dark Star' was full of weird and wonderful, slightly spacey, British Metal that came across as refreshingly
original for the period, when so many were content to plagiarize old Sabbath and Judas Priest riffs.
Amazingly enough, a slightly revamped, more mature version of Dark Star reappeared after a five year absence
in 1987 on the FM/Revolver label with a new album called 'Real To Reel' but by then the band had moved into a totally new,
more commercial direction.
