There is more than one artist with this name. 1) Skaven were a bunch of wild crusty hobo blackmetal punks from "back in the day" (before the new wave of junkies took over …). They were heavily influence by the ol UK stenchcore bands (ala Axegrinder, Amebix, Antisect, and the like) but also had traits of 90's bands like Antischism, Nausea, etc. Anyone who had a chance to see them during their hayday would most likely recall beer, drugs, members of the band on fire

For more info / songs check: www.myspace.com/skavenoakland 2) Skaven (otherwise known as Peter Hajba) is a computer music artist and was one of the musicians of the demo group Future Crew.
