Flowers of Flesh and Blood by Skaven

Likely it was inevitable that some enterprising label would reissue the only record Skaven put out under its own name. During its intermittent existence, the crust band released a couple splits with heavyweights Dystopia and Stormcrow, and the long shadows cast by those bands have kept the splits in underground circulation. Flowers of Flesh and Blood, originally released in 1996 by brief-lived Misanthropic Records, has some additional historical utility. It sounds so very much like a record of its times and its scene: check out the semi-ironized, semi-serious samples from sources like Kubrick’s The Shining (1980) (“Severed” starts with the Torrance family’s Donner Party conversation, if you’re interested); the band name filched from Warhammer’s world of steampunk geekery; the greasy, fusty odor of dense packs of white dudes with long dreads and lots of stick-n-poke tats. 924 Gilman, here we come.
