Starkweather's "Crossbearer" should be added to the Gateway

Starkweather's debut is ahead of their time. They were adding different elements to metalcore during its very early development stage with alt-metal to remind you of Biohazard, Helmet, and Life of Agony. You can hear prominent parts of the genre from the pre-Tool riffing, mid-paced tempo (sometimes as slow as sludge), and the vocals sounding only as rough as Paradise Lost's Nick Holmes in Shades of God, even going far into clean melody in some songs. So going on a whim here, I say this is the first ever album to mix metalcore with alt-metal. Therefore, I'd like to see Starkweather's "Crossbearer" in the Hall to be added to The Gateway while staying in The Revolution.
