08.03.2012 - 21:57 Written by BloodTears on 08.03.2012 at 21:54 I like it, but it will be just perfect if it didnt have Ahab on it. It doesn't suit their style at all. I preffer my nautic doom to have a more serious look.

08.03.2012 - 22:01 Written by X-Ray Rod on 08.03.2012 at 21:57 Since I'm not familiar with the band, I have no idea if it fits or not. But looking at it, without thinking about anything else, it just looks cool It's a bit cartoonish though.

08.03.2012 - 22:10 Written by BloodTears on 08.03.2012 at 22:01 The Call Of The Wretched Sea The Divinity Of Oceans To me, Ahab plays music that truly portrays the beauty but also the extreme and terrifying power of the ocean. This is... like you said, cartoonish and doesn't really suit them. You should check them out, incredible doom. Their debut is their masterpiece but their second album has a post-metal vibe (and therefore more accessible) to it that I'm think you might like.

08.03.2012 - 22:49 Written by X-Ray Rod on 08.03.2012 at 21:57 You can't know what their doom will sound like on this album (one snippet is not enough), so you can't yet say whether or not it does suit their style.

08.03.2012 - 22:50 Written by Daniell on 08.03.2012 at 22:49 Well, unless this album isn't doom metal (which I doubt), I don't think I'll change my opinion at all.

08.03.2012 - 22:56 Written by X-Ray Rod on 08.03.2012 at 21:57 Agreed, how did we go from the Raft of the Medusa to this? It's alright but for the band doesn't seem to fit.

I don't like this cover, without a comparison to previous ones.

Divinity Of The Oceans was very boring IMO. I gave it a good amount of listens, but it is very, very slow. Looks like I'm indifferent towards very slow music...

Its a nice cover, But I dont think it goes with the band's musical style at all. Written by Oaken on 09.03.2012 at 00:37 Keep listening to it until you do or better yet check out their first record. Cmon you know you love it.

I thought both albums were pretty catchy......each just has its own way of doing so

Looks... kind of cool... But certainly not like Ahab should look.

Metal album art, but in a Stoner metal kind of way.

Stoner Metal way?! No!! it wasn't even close to that. May be...this time they're dropping something unique..which you can't figure it out totally from Artcover saying "well, this is it. they will be heading like this." Saying this, it could have been better(artwork)..will be spurious and too shitty.

This new album art would fit way better with a stoner band due to it being stoner art and not something for Ahab.

09.03.2012 - 13:06 Written by X-Ray Rod on 08.03.2012 at 22:10 I also think I would like them. I listened to their new album teaser and it was sweet. So I'll probably listen to the new album and go from there.

09.03.2012 - 17:44 Written by Cynic Metalhead on 09.03.2012 at 12:48 You should Google stoner metal images and look at some cover art before you say this new cover isn't even close to it.

09.03.2012 - 17:51 Written by Troy Killjoy on 09.03.2012 at 17:44 Probably i did that way before. Yeah, it's not even close to that. Stoner Metal Artworks are mixed up of erotic guys right up in flying shrubs and their covering is with something really dark Punk background and even more innovative textures can be added. It's not there in every Stoner Metal artworks..but it's happens in majority.
