| Ahab are a German funeral doom metal. The sea and moby dick are their lyrical themes. Could easily be called "Whale metal" because of the amazing atmosphere!
This is really great! Highly recommended! |

| When I heard it for the first time I was not really interested in funeral doom. But this was catchy and I listened to it very often afterwards xD |

| Their whole ocean/whale theme is great. It's really what made me notice them, and have listened to "Call of the Wretched Sea" many many times. |

| They really do capture the feel of the wide open see, and whaling. | |

| Haha. I believe they call themselves Nautical FUneral Doom. At least when I looked last. Is their new album out yet? I only know of The Call of the Wretched Sea. Anyways, they're a good band to get into FUneral Doom, since they're more accessible to beginners I think. | |

| I found Call of the Wretched Seas to be great musical accompaniment to Resident Evil 0, a game that gets pretty boring if it's the only thing you're doing.
As for the style though... there's nothing inherently oceanic or watery about their sound; if they didn't explicitly indicate themselves that way no one would get that out of it. Even having BEEN explicitly indicated I don't hear it, just sounds like really straight-forward non-gothy funeral doom metal to me. |

| I was kinda bored with this too... the guitars loop annoying/forced delay saturated leads (see the Pacific) and it makes the music awkward and repetitious. Reminds me of Mournful Congregation with a decent drummer and a hipster guitar player. Oh well not all bands are for everyone. | |

Didn't mean to give the impression I didn't dig it. I've listened to it a shitload since I found it, though I did delete the 4th and 5th tracks (because they felt redundant), but yeah, I see the comparison - definitely props to the drummer though. The Thunderer is easily the most accessible song on the album, shortest, fastest, and catchiest; maybe try listening to that one another couple times if you wanna make an effort. |

| Usually I go into a band not feeling it, get stoned put it on and love it. Its all part of the hypocritical life style I'm trying to live. | |

| you don't really listen to much funeral doom raw? Ahab is like the ultra entry level accessible FD band. I have more problems with other FD stuff over them. I'm not a funeral doom fan myself though so eh... | |

| I mainly listen to the essentials ( Mournful Congregation, Funeralium, Worship, Evoken, Thergothon, etc...). I really don't want this to seem like a troll post and discuss my opinion though. I just dont find Ahab as.... raw as I like most my music. Heh. | |
