 | | Croatoan, their sophomore full-length, has thankfully and finally earned the light of day, on an increasingly active and very metal Candlelight Records (Daylight Dies, Vader, Crowbar, Dismember, 1349). |
 | | Evolving their sound further by carrying the doom components introduced on Into The Wire and their songs from the Definitely Not The Majors compilation, and the vocal hooks that made Crossbearer so memorable, all within their trademark linear, storytelling style of songwriting, Starkweather retain that rare distinction of sounding like no other band, period. |
 | | This generation's Dan Seagrave, Paul Romano, gives Croatoan the artistic identity it calls for: Death imagery, concrete tones, antiquated feel, and a conceptual layout overall, with no song titles on the back or band lineup. |
