Pessimism can be so beautiful: German nautic doomers Ahab have not only created their very own subgenre, they are also incomparable dabblers in solemn melancholy! The Boats of the Glen Carrig is a novel by William Hope Hodgson from 1907 that tells the gruesome story of survival after shipwreck: the ice-cold embrace of the sea this as always has been turned to molten lead in the utmost atmospheric manner by Ahab! Since the band`s founding in late 2004, the four-piece has continuously worked its way to the top of (funeral) doom. The Boats of the Glen Carrig is their magnum opus and is gracefully nestled in between slow-motion anthems and haunting melodies.

THIS BAND IS SEVERELY UNDERRATED. The vocals on this track give me shivers. Masterpiece. Nothing short.

[@ghavadgita1798]

it seems like all the best stuff is always severely underrated...

[@NMND.]

Aren't they disbanded? Couldn't see any updates on their pages "lately".

[@gustanoid]

let it stay underrated. It's rare example of good band which still didn't became commercial bullshit like many others

[@PsycHoOone]

@@NMND. No, they're fine, just posted a view back on their socials ^_^ sorry for my english, I'm drunk as a sailor finding Cthulhu xD

[@FedEx867]

Big facts.

[@frgt10]

So guys, this is one of the most "thalassophobian" soundscape of music that I ever heard of. First so peaceful, so beautifully intriguing and then it hits you like some force grabs you from below and drags you down into the oceanic abyss, feeling the pressure of your sorrounding water masses, and the unspeakable horror deep in the darkness under you that you cant see but -just like a shadow in the corner of your eye- terrorizes your primal instincts which release the purest Form of anxiety. You See gigantic shadows in the pitch black water - or are you just going insane? And a deeeeep gluttoral voice seems to speak to in your head. You don't quiet understand the words, but you know the meaning. You feel it in your guts. Ahab, I salute you. Great fucking album!

[@somethingelse04]

Beautifully said🤘

[@caveman69_]

amazing interpretation, thanks for sharing

[@whamases]

I love this sound…I have Ahab playing pretty much daily. 🐳

[@belial6211]

This is one of my most favorite albums of all time, I've listened to it over and over again. You can just feel the care that went into every song. I'm happy to see a band improve as it ages, too. Ahab are proper artists. It's also worth noting that this is a lot more interesting than the book itself lol.

[@timmygun795]

So far I've not explored this one much but _The Call of the Wretched Sea,_ and _The Divinity of Oceans_ have me floundering in their greatness.

[@metalfan7270]

I read the book while I listen and compare the lyrics as well it's really cool

[@GioDvanny]

It's been five days In these boats of the Glen Carrig When I's awed by such solitude Alas, God moves in mysterious ways So we pulled wearily towards the isle I swear t'was all but flagrant flatness If we'd only known it was sheer madness We'd stayed away many nautical mile Then there came the first telling of life Like a lonesome wind on a breathy sigh Yet there was no breeze that filled the air With such a despairful cry We harked to the weeping of souls When it died away - no further calls There was this monstrous silence after all Again we harked - what might next befall? A sullen growling from afar The dark was full of it, I swear Aye, no word of which I've knowledge So well describes the hunger, most awesome to the ear

[@Solitudinis]

This band is amazing! 😊

[@Orlok666]

This is one of the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard ! Just ordered all 4 LPs from Napalm and can't wait to get my hand on all theses masterpieces !

[@ThorWalez]

Pre-ordered, listend endless time and read the book. An album which has an incredible depth and perfect sound. After many months the cd is still rotating in my car when I go to work. Even Opeth wasn't able to take me to such an intense voyage.

[@zdrobikostikus]

Fuck ... this is just... I'm speechless ...

[@jeranbrown82]

Aww man. I’m blown away. I hope to see them for a live experience. It has to be out-of-body!

[@alopiaspelagicus1628]

Saw you guys in Summer Breeze and it was the best experience. You guys manage to perfectly capture the depth of the ocean and how beautiful yet haunting it is. Thank you for your music.

[@metalhead2theEnd]

The whale on the drum kit is the cherry on top!

[@MastersApprentices]

Holy shit this is incredible! Can't wait for the album!

[@gentianaverna1047]

"Meisterwerk". Das einzig passende Wort. Nein, stimmt nicht ganz. "Atemberaubend schön" passt auch ganz wunderbar. :-) Ich kann nicht aufhören es regelmäßig immer wieder zu hören. Vielen Dank!

[@darthyodaable]

This band is so fucking good.

[@JotunWitch]

This song is an eargasm.

[@meghanwhitman1966]

Needs more Ahab lol Das ist de schit C: Best band of 2016

[@diaaaddean]

One of the best songs that i've heard

[@chyosukeful]

I love these guys!! I've listened to this song so many times... lost count!!! Purely a nightmarish masterpiece!!!

[@robbrown9337]

I have a far deeper appreciation for the Oregon coast because of AHAB. I like to sit at the end of Cape Arago and listen to this song.

[@meghanwhitman1966]

Ahab = funeral doom metal awesomeness

[@mrwoodchuck94]

Nautic Funeral Doom Metal

[@Nusq7]

in fact, it is not funeral at all; one of the best death-doom though

[@mrderp2472]

+Ali Rostamiaan they are funeral doom though

[@mrderp2472]

Only one person I know listened to me when I told them how amazing this band is and that annoys me. They are a great band

[@mrwoodchuck94]

yes they are,i have seen them live as well

[@ivanpopov2788]

I love this band really much. Always return to theirs craft time to time.

[@metaleer1979x]

Fuck yeah! A perfect balance of sounds. Just a couple more weeks!

[@Bobsikus]

love this, the changes in time are awesome

[@AdhamElkhatib]

I keep coming back again, and again, and again.. never expected it to be this good.. I'm happy heh

[@jcd2k666]

Love it, nice job guys.

[@ianberling5333]

Haven't been this excited for a new album in i'm not even sure how long!

[@Magmetal1]

[@mysilverdreams1]

New to this band, and I’m loving it 🖤

[@andrewdoud9861]

[@petrichorescol469]

[@PoltergeistLieb]

This is incredible. thanks ♥

[@mrs.bulldog3579]

+Cheumklien Méklenichien You´re welcome. 8-)

[@damienalexray6327]

This song alone prompted me to get the new album. Monster of a track.

[@Resifreak90]

Absolut mächtig.

[@onelonelyvisitor]

I love this so much, like this is awesome

[@eduardoslayer4237]

fantastic

[@JackWareingFilms]

AHAB is not known for their 'catchy' songs/music, but I like them a lot anyway. It's very cool if you appreciate heavy, slow (sludge type) Doom/Death metal.

[@ColonellSandpfurz]

Nur noch 8 Tage! Geniales Stück, geniale Band. Ich weiß schon, warum es meine Lieblingsband ist. :)

[@AlbanoRamirez]

I really enjoy listening these growls, but when I listen to that intro I feel the enormous need of hearing the entire song with clean voice.

[@BrunoMarrone-pr6pb]

Melhor banda de funeral doom do mundo 🤘🏽

[@ivanfantino904]

Fell in love

[@VulgrimOfficial]

Fallen?

[@SiGhast]

[@hansjensen1648]

super Solid. come to Boston, please!

[@777bc8]

Благодарю брат за видос. У меня нет слов как душевно и космические вселенно. Впервые слышу эту песню от Ahab. Охуительно...

[@Hellgrust]

Очень крутая музыка.

[@fabricelafargue58]

good melancolic doom and good song

[@k-vn-7]

Relentless

[@FoCDrums]

OOF that riff that starts at 8.07! Massive!

[@odairjoseamaral2563]

é tudo de bom

[@joey911ism]

How the fuck? Just how the fuck can someone even dislike this?

[@AKSHATA28]

I know, right?

[@JZKinGG]

so much better then the other track (not that it is bad)

[@brutalvideos]

Bestial.

[@alexhr07]

⚡️buenaaaaaa💣💣💣

[@supermario7041]

Could be the soundtrack to The Lighthouse

[@ANQ187]

Much better, after hearing like red foam I was sure I wasn't getting the album. But this sounds more like it.

[@BaconBane]

Red foam is amazing. The whole album is!

[@LiveAeons]

so promising.

[@qqqqqppppp]

[@Piergeiron]

Oh fucking yes! \m/

[@SaraivahKessia]

❤

[@adrianaslund8605]

Do they use fingerpicking? They seem to play octaves on the guitar simultaneously for the main riff.

[@thewlzr8658]

Their drummer looks like Ahab!

[@Tr1aL]

Привет из России, спасибо за вашу музыку.

[@gustanoid]

пиздец, так напиши на английском, они тебя всё равно не поймут

[@hotrodghost227]

Next to Opeth this is just great!

[@meghanwhitman1966]

Whopeth? Ashen corpses lie down to bow out gracefully in awe of the hollowness that is this band's sound

[@Hellgrust]

la bomba

[@renanalves7662]

5:54 ❤🔥

[@WireAndFire]

Meanwhile at 05:26 starting the journey out of space and time.

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

8:40 You can't not love the drummer's joy. I'm surprised to see a 4-string bass - do they tune to D-standard?

[@breadfan2095]

I believe they tune to C standard, but that could vary depending on the song.

[@MohamedIbrahim-nd1fb]

fucking spotless

[@chyosukeful]

Read the story behind the lyrics.... holy shit!!!

[@MrArcturus72]

[@bikkinHUN]

What the hell is THAT at 8:22 at around the top left corner??!

[@gustanoid]

your mom

[@777bc8]

А что за альбом? Какой год?

[@joelpetao1681]

They look too happy making this dark song

[@NightPaddle]

I've met them several times, and they also are way too happy for such dark music. :D But they are still one of my favourite bands.

[@exoplanet1100]

das it mane

[@777bc8]

👍🏻☝🏻💪🏻

[@tracysnow349]

Have I found the right band? I am looking for Callum Adamson. The son of Stuart Adamson.
