LADY OF MARS WAS INCLUDED ON THE METAL FOR MUTHAS VOL 2 ALBUM
Yet another one and done NWOBHM band from Birmingham, Dark Star recorded this little gem in 1981 (Tracks 9-15 are bonus tracks from demos). Even though I referred to them as "yet another" one and done band, their sound elevated them above a lot of the mediocrity that was languishing in the NWOBHM pool at the time. Great riffs, some nice vocal harmonies, and killer guitar work resulted in a sound somewhere between a harder edge Praying Mantis and ?????? Hard for me to pinpoint. I've read everything from Saxon To Sabbath. Don't agree with the Sabbath part, but a lighter Saxon, maybe. Killer tunes include Kaptain America, Louisa, and Lady Of Mars,
