This Philadelphia band was metalcores godfather & the undergrounds best kept secret. Ask all the big bands whove been around a long time like Converge, Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage, The Dillinger Escape Plan, etc, etc whos influenced them & theyd be lying if they didnt mention Starkweather. Both brutal & beautiful, if you can imagine that. They did the growling/singing thing first; well before all the crappy mosh-metal bands jumped upon the bandwagon. This combines an unparalleled level of pure emotion & the most poetic lyrics, with the most awe-inspiring & brutal & eerie music youll ever hear. Goes in both extremes to beautiful, haunting flowing, singing, to deep, anger-ridden growling. An emotional outpouring done in an uniquely heavy way. Youve never heard anything like this before. Almost out-of-print, were down to the final few LPs.
