Synopsis

Product Description

Not unlike a baleful Leviathan, AHAB's latest album, "The Divinity of Oceans", emerges from the obscure ocean depths to provide an impressive account of the Essex and its condemned crew. Offering a kaleidoscope of human emotions that find tragic conclusion within deep despair and cannibalism, the terrible events are told within the perfect, though dark and disturbing confines of slow doom metal, brutal vocals, and melodic interludes. Markus Stock (Empyrium, The Vision Bleak) of Klangschmiede Studio E gives "The Divinity of Oceans" its finishing touch. With this latest offering, AHAB have managed to more than outdo their debut release, delivering a masterpiece of Nautic Funeral Doom Metal.

CD Reviews

Quite possibly my favorite doom metal album

J. Sundheim | NJ | 10/06/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Take everything that was great about their first album and add more guitar leads and more atmospheric and *gasp* psychedelic parts and you've got the new Ahab album summed up pretty well. This band really grew by leaps and bounds since their first CD, which was pretty much flawless itself. The production is great and the new bassist really stands out. "O Father Sea" has the most killer riff of all time in and "Redemption Lost" has some of the most beautiful and haunting vocals of all time and it kicks off with a really great long guitar solo. Those are also (in my humble opinion) the two best tracks on the album... But they're all great songs!

It's mega-heavy and it's the best album of 2009. Get it!"

Just as good, if not better than their debut..

"Doom metal can be love/hate. I think it takes a specific mindset to listen to a much slower pace of metal. The problem with doom is, is that all too often songs drone on and become repetitive and boring. The thing I love about Ahab is that this is never the case. Their debut was awesome and TDOO is equally awesome. I think fans of Evoken or Esoteric will like this album."
