An Oakland California punk band from 1995-1997 that came under the Crust Punk and Crust genre creating Oakland Crust Punk. Along with Southern California's Dystopia (among several other west coast bands) helped create a wave of West Coast crust punk. Heavily influenced by 80's U.K. Crust bands Amebix, Hellbastard, Extreme Noise Terror, Deviated Instinct....etc.
Skaven, formed by Zebediah (vocals, now of DemonSteed) and Mike Matusio (bass) had originally been the grind/crust band Black Maggot (early 1995.) After going through a rippen brief life Black Maggot added Shaner, who played second bass guitar (forming a double bass guitar sound which set them apart from the others.) Rockin' Geoff Evans on guitar (now of doom metal ass kickers, Asunder) and RoskoTofu on drums formed a unique and dark form of Crust. Skaven was born. Taking there name from a race of Choas war-shippin' rat-men, and embracing the insanity of war, fantasy, celtic identity and life on the dark side of America. Drinking to excess (along with 3 members pulling serious H habits...)it is amazing they were able to pull off what they did. But donning their bullet belts and War Vests they took their cue from Lemmy, of Motorhead fame, and began a war on livers and muffin everywhere. After 4 months they released their first album, pressing a split LP with Dystopia (their brother band, Skaven's side was.....Blessed are the Worms, Life is Abuse) in early 1996 and followed up by a self titled 7" (also known as The Flowers of Flesh and Blood, Misanthropic Records late 1996.) *NOTE: Both Misanthropic and Life is Abuse are two of the earliest Cali Crust labels and Life is Abuse especially a pioneering label! Due to the fact that Skaven only released vinyl, in fact they mastered the 7" on the last vinyl mastering machine in the WORLD at the time! (a CD discography is rumored for Halloween 2009, 15 year anniversary!) Skaven records are highly sought and go for a premium price. Skaven and Dystopia did a tour in the winter of 1996, known to survivors as "the blitz", although it was just a day in the life of a true crustpunk warrior, Skaven lasted around the end of 1996, then crumbled after the firing of Zeb (time is wasted on the youth...) his songs (and Skaven as a working band) went with him. All to brief for a band that made a distinct sound and walked the walk, in an amazing scene at the right time and place. Playing and living with loads of great bands, such as, Neurosis, El Dopa, Skaven, Dystopia, Misery, Ojo Rojo, Noothgrush, State of Fear, Cruevo, Christ Driver, Man is the Bastard ....the list goes on and on. Crust done Oakland style (War Crust, War Metal.)
Up the Irons!
In it for life!

Get the Skaven mug.One that plays Warhammer and Mordheim with Skaven, just because he knows they're overpowered.
He's clueless about strategy... and his Doomwheel couldn't have crushed my Lord in the first move! :(
Anyway - don't play Warhammer or Mordheim against a Skaven - they'll overrun you and swarm you before you knew what's happening!
Go for the psychology! They're weak in that area!

Get the senior scavenger hunt mug."The Scavenger" is a term which refers to someone hailing from Southwestern NY State who "preys" on females whom just got out of a serious relationship with The Scavenger's close and best friends. The Scavenger has issues with getting women, so scraping up his friends "messes" is all The Scavenger can do with absolutely no guilt, shame, morals or heart. "Bro-Code" is NOT something that is in the mind of this person and is commonly and consistently "placing the pussy on the pedestal." The Scavenger's favorite song is "My Best Friend's Girlfriend" by The Cars.
The Scavenger can usually be found at the following functions/places: "Family vacations, weddings, local bars, Bemus Point, The Second Street Crawl and any function in which these females are privy to.
The Scavenger also uses social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook to obsess, stalk and gain personal access to the female's personal life. Another common point of The Scavenger is to lay the groundwork on the female months and even years in advance while that female is currently in a relationship with the close, or even best friend.
The Scavenger habitually "line-steps" by degrading, belittling, trash-talking and bashing the close friend whom he has moved in on. This happens on the above mentioned social networking sites, behind the friend's back to mutual friends and definitely to the female who is being targeted by The Scavenger. The Scavenger will blast the friends to the female to boost her self confidence and move in for sexual gain. A comparable situation can be that of a Lion targeting a wounded Antelope on the Serengeti.
The friend or friends in question sometimes find out about these situations months and years after they actually happen. This also places the mutual friends in uncomfortable situations and secrecy because of the immoral and WRONG acts that are being displayed by The Scavenger.
The Scavenger is know in different locales under the following aliases: The Jamestown Jackel, Buffalo Bandit, Boston Backstabber, Chicago Con-Artist and Vegas Vulture. The Scavenger will stop at no end to gain access to his target. A common saying when rarely confronted on the situation by The Scavenger is "It Is What It Is!"
Specific situations in which The Scavenger has struck have been given specific names.....similar to names given to battles in a war: These include, but are not limited to: "Hijak on The Hill", "Miley's Mull-Over", "The Cherry Lounge Cock-Block", "Shawbucks Slide-In", and the "Carnival Court Crawl-In."
No person is safe around the The Scavenger and should be very cautious when introducing a significant other into a social circle in which The Scavenger belongs!
