One of my favorites from Ahab, I really have nothing bad to say about any of their releases. Everything is well written and has a lot of depth lyrically having a huge influence from nautical literature including Moby Dick. The concept of "Divinity of Oceans" revolves around a true story the "Narrative of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of the Whale-Ship Essex" which a huge ship was taken down by a sperm whale attack. Being isolated in the middle of a desolate ocean the men were forced to resort to cannibalism.
The band themselves hail from Germany forming in 2004, this album is their second full length and is a MUST listen for new fans.
For fans of Mournful Congregation, Collosseum, Esoteric, and Evoken
