Starkweather is a Philadelphia band formed in 1989, widely credited as an early architect of metalcore and a direct influence on mathcore and sludge-adjacent bands like Converge, Coalesce, and The Dillinger Escape Plan. Their sound fuses dissonant, tempo-shifting metalcore with sludge metal and death-metal drumming, most fully realized on 2005's Croatoan (produced by Pierre Remillard of Cryptopsy/Gorguts fame). Bassist Liam Wilson played on Croatoan before/during his long tenure as bassist of The Dillinger Escape Plan.
