Daily Anthem




Today we're pleasuring our ears to Flowers of Flesh and Blood by Skaven. You can listen to it here. The band takes their name from a race of Rat Men called the Skaven in the Warhammer Fantasy miniature war game. The Skaven maintain a secret existence beneath the world of men and await a time to overrun the lands above. A Definitely smart move on the part of the guys in Skaven to name themselves after such RAbiD horde, I mean, these dudes even harness the ability to mutate some of the race into brutal, weaponclad rat ogres and have overlords with demonic horns and shit!

Wow. Metal, Rats, Warhammer Models and even a nod to Utopian/Dystopian studies with the solemn, echoing guitar intro to Flowers of Flesh and Blood gradually being accompanied by sample from Jodorowski's Holy Mountain.
