English hard'n'heavy project formed by Jeff Walker, Ken Owen and Carlo Regadas with Mark Griffiths; debut album Barbed Wire Soul (1997) moves from the members' death-metal past toward a more accessible hard rock/heavy sound, with production contributions noted in the review (Colin Richardson mentioned).

Blackstar is an English hard'n'heavy project formed by former Carcass members. Their 1997 debut Barbed Wire Soul shifts from death metal roots toward hard rock and classic-70s-influenced heavy sounds. The available review praises the album's accessibility, riffs and production.

For:Fans of heavy metal and hard rock, followers of Carcass and Cathedral, listeners of 90s metal side-projects.

 Barbed Wire Soul has its roots in 1996, when Carcass released Swansong, the true swan song of the English band, which just a few months later would put an end to the first part of their huge career.
