I just stumbled upon a NWOBHM band called Dark Star, which I had never heard before....or even heard of. Apparently 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 1981 debut album called Dark Star. Loved the song, so I went over at YouTube and checked a few other songs out. Sounds fantastic. Anyone know if this one's ever been released on CD? Anyone else familiar with them or even own the album? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgH5xn2R7do&feature=related // Figgehttp://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,918613,918613#msg-918613Wed, 22 May 2013 07:48:51 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,918613,918743#msg-918743 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,918613,918743#msg-918743 Mid-Life Crisis NoticeboardThu, 08 Nov 2012 19:16:05 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,918613,918645#msg-918645 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,918613,918645#msg-918645

Really?

"Kaptain America has always been my favourite of theirs"

Yeah, that Kaptain America song was great too. Actually most of the songs up on YouTube with 'em sounded good.

There are still gems out there to discover, obviously. I started a thread years ago asking for undiscovered gems like this. Can't believe no one mentioned Dark Star.
