Same here with me too Tron but sometimes i do like to change it and move into more of gloomy dark creepy atmosphere

if you liked this one then probably check out Nortt or Skepticism

You guys got it right on this is serene musical landscape . for sure guitar work is nothing short of incredible . vocals probably thats the highlight one of the best i have heard in this genre

@NWB same here i too been totally obsessed by this album for last couple of weeks so thought ........yeah Old Thunder ,below the sea probably should be among best doom song ever recorded


@Metal Historian.. to be honest i haven't read Moby Dick . but after listening to this album im for sure gonna get that novel .yeah this one is quite apart from the pack .yeah i too was quite amazed when i went through the lyrics.this one adds something more to already existing elements of funeral doom



check out Skepticism - Stormcrowfleet thats the only album i got by them . one of the best Funeral Doom Metal album


Eagerly waiting for Ahab`s next album The Divinity Of Oceans . guess will be released in late july

These guys are unbelievable, I actually have been listening to this album quite a bit the past week. My favorite songs are Old Thunder, The Pacific, and The Sermon. Ahab puts out a unique atmosphere, its very dark and foreboding yet very epic, of course with that nautical twist to it. I agree with you: it is a masterpiece, possibly the best concept doom album known to mankind.

Nice call, and it's strange that you mention them because I have been listening to them alot recently.

edit: they are coming out with a new album? oh yeah, i will now be on the lookout! :)

I'm not normally into the funeral Doom...i think i like the speed in metal, but this is pretty good stuff. Below The Sun is a really good song

thanks

** I have some Nortt, but actually like this better. Nortt is abit too Ambient/atmospheric for me

Not a huge doom fan, but I liked a few funeral doom bands like Shape of Despair, Consummator Est, Catacombs, etc. When I heard about this album, I just had to get it. I mean, Funeral Doom about the ocean, whaling, and Moby Dick? Just amazing!

I absolutely love these guys. I first heard of them when they came to Calgary's Noctis Valkyries Metal Fest and I've been addicted ever since. Nortt is great too, though I haven't heard any Skepticism.
