After a long slumber, Ahab have finally risen like Cthullu. One of the most anticipated doom albums of 2023 has been released within its first fortnight; the question now turns to whether The Coral Tombs justifies those lofty expectations. Read more ›› |

Written by AndyMetalFreak on 20.01.2023 at 17:20 Doom:VS is a great Funeral Doom band to listen to, they strike the right balance between crushing atmosphere and variety to keep their music interesting. I would recommend trying Dead Words Speak and see what you think.

Written by nonZero on 14.02.2023 at 16:49 I'm glad you reminded me of Doom:VS, I haven't listened to them for a while now but it's definitely a funeral doom band I can listen too, they create a great atmosphere but also keep things interesting rather than tedious and dull.

https://metalstorm.net/bands/index.php?b_where=s.style&b_what=Doom&prefix=Funeral What are you complaining about /Ahab/ when you ranked them #1 in funeral doom and they are a complete nuisance in music! There are so many unique bands in this style... Evoken, Esoteric, https://metalstorm.net/bands/album.php?album_id=101058&band_id=538&bandname=Esoteric It's not music, it's a work of art... https://open.spotify.com/track/5A9wZ1oYWRCDUSXVXQBEgL?si=qtoZDVUbQoGxt3NhrRzNNw If you haven't heard it, one of the jewels in music!

I really don't get the negativity about this album. I admit, my first impression was "ok, meh", but after a few spins it has become my second favorite AHAB, finding itself almost daily in my playlists. I guess it has lots of "not that heavy" moments, but this creates a unique atmosphere for the album, especially the second half of the album is out of this world.
