Ahab announce new album ‘The Coral Tombs’
AHAB have announced a new album!
Titled The Coral Tombs, the upcoming album from the German doom metal band is the long awaited follow-up to 2015’s The Boats Of The Glen Carrig, and is scheduled to be released in January next year, via Napalm Records.
The upcoming album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Jens Siefert at RAMA Studios in Mannheim, Germany. Along with the band’s vocalist Daniel Droste, the album features guest appearances of ULTHA‘s Chris Dark as well as none other than the master of extreme doom himself, Greg Chandler – singer and mastermind of ESOTERIC, who closes the album and an incredible ride through the depths of vast oceans and the abysmal nature of mankind.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; Prof. Arronax‘ descent into the vast oceans. Speaking about the new song and its accompanying lyric video, guitarist Christian Hector says, “how else could we have started our new album after eight years wait? I love the unexpected, so it feels kinda natural to start that thunderous. The song tells the first milestone of ‘20,000 leagues under the sea’, when the Nautilus attacks and Professor Arronax and Conseil go over board and nearly drown. Of course we also introduce Captain Nemo in the first song. I cut the video myself as Napalm Records asked us for some videos – it‘s a lyric nautic video. We‘ll do two DIY videos and one professional video.”
