Metal Reviews

Clandestine and eccentric. The baffling drumming and the vocals are the signature sound of Absu which only Proscriptor and perhaps only a few others are able to achieve. A bizarre man, but a very accomplished musician, without a doubt.

I have frequently found this album to be amongst Enslaved's most heaviest and most extremist and I believe I am not very far away from the truth, in this regard.

Music more apt to the serenity of night time. Somber and solemn.

A return to something more vibrant and energetic.

To end the night on a joyful note. Until another morning.

I think I much prefer this to Abzu. The reason for this is that I personally think the song-writing and more particularly the melody building and overall structure given to the harmonies and the rhythm section is much more fluid and there is a natural flow to the overall making of the album.

Ahab is filled with theatrical imagery and it is this kind of music which greatly stimulates and enhances the artistic experience. An excellent and exemplary group who emboldens the ways of sorrow, glory, yearning and the human condition, so outstandingly, so effortlessly, so fashionably.

Some of the most earliest albums which I bought. Still excellent. Their description of "mythological occult metal" holds valid, although that description is long gone and never mentioned anymore.

Futuristic and visionary.

I have always took great pleasure in this brand of the avant-garde. Entirely their own.
