Some good news on Ahabs new album,although i don't think there is a single fan on here besides me,that i know of anyway
Ahoi seaman, this friday Christian Hector will enter the studio. Soundengineer Cornelius Althammer - also drummer of AHAB - will record the first guitartakes of his bandmate. The guitar-lines, mostly written by Daniel Droste this time, are a bit more complex, yet in a funeral doom and death doom style. Chris explains it as follows: "It sounds a bit like a mixture of the "good ole" Ahab-style mixed with very atmospheric tunes. So the description of Ahab as it's posted on doom-metal.com as a 'riffing funeral doom band' still is valid. You may say there are riffs, that sound a bit like Devin Townsend going Funeral Doom, Carcass in slomo or Morbid Angel going beyond the slowness of "Blessed are the sick". Still to some extent the influence of our colleague of Tyranny can still be heard in some few riffs. So most of the music stays the same as you know it, although there are some hints to Postcore and classical doom as well. It also maybe said, the songs are much more epic and vast. I think the new riffs fit perfectly to tell the story of the Wreckage of the Essex! So Daniel made it quite easy for me to fit the lyrics to the music!" The next to be recording will be our bassplayer Stephan "Norz" Wandernoth. His basslines also will be more sophisticated than those on "The Call Of The Wretched Sea". I'll keep you informed! This was The Captain speaking, Cheerio, AHAB
