Ahab - The Divinity of Oceans (2009) Official Release! (CD rip)

Genre : Nautic Funeral Doom
Country : Germany
Bitrate : 320 kbps
.
Password : doomsters

This is the second wonderful album of this awesome band. This release is not only Funeral Doom, also have influences from other genres like progressive, avant-garde, old school, and Epic Metal. Really, in this album Ahab evolves their sound into mystic and enigmatic places.

The melodies are magnificent and very well performed, with crushing guitars, awesome melodic riffs, sinister moments, melancholic interludes, instrumental passages (full of anguish, sadness and bleakness), enigmatic atmosphere, rhythm changes, sorrowful clean vocals, and deepest grunts.

"The Divinity of Oceans" is the best album that I have heard this year, and one of the best Funeral Doom albums of all times, surely it will be the best one of 2009.

This album is highly recommended for all doomsters. If you don't purchase this album you're not a true doomster!

Monumentum - In Absentia Christi (1995)

Genre : Dark Doom
Country : Italy

This is the first full-length of the band. This album is the most strange Dark Doom Metal release with ultra obscure riffs, mysterious melodies, lots of anguish, instrumental moments, slowest passages, sinister keyboards, clean vocals, and enigmatic female vocals and choirs.

Asphyx - The Rack (1991)

Genre : Death Doom
Country : Netherlands

Asphyx plays Old School Death/Doom with raw riffs, crushing melodies, slow passages, aggressive moments, rhythm changes, and awesome brutal growls. Asphyx is one of the most apocalyptic in the genre, their melodies are really obscure, destructive and solid. All their albums are highly recommended!!!
