Jewelcase CD.

About the album

"The Call Of The Wretched Sea" is Ahab's monumental debut album that casts a long shadow over the funeral doom genre. Drawing inspiration from Herman Melville's "Moby Dick," Ahab crafts a nautical narrative steeped in dread and despair. The album weaves together hauntingly slow riffs, deep growls, and atmospheric soundscapes that mirror the vastness and terror of the open sea. Each track embodies the crushing weight of solitude and obsession, creating a sonic voyage that's as relentless as it is immersive.

The band's meticulous attention to detail results in a cohesive work that challenges listeners with its profound depth and intensity. From the opening swells of "Below The Sun" to the closing lament of "Ahab's Oath," "The Call Of The Wretched Sea" offers an experience that is both harrowing and beautiful. Its layered compositions and thematic focus ensure its place as a cornerstone of doom metal, inviting listeners to explore the darker recesses of human nature.
