When author Herman Melville penned his infamous novel Moby Dick back in
1851 he had no way of knowing it would become a deep, dark well of
inspiration for future generations of artists. Case in point with the
German Doom Metal band AHAB, who has created a unique soundtrack for
what is an undeniably unique story. Named after the novel’s tyrannical
ship’s captain, AHAB gives Melville’s words musical form, capturing the
tension and mood bleeding off the pages and bringing his revered tale
to life.
