Ahab Biography
German funeral doom trio Ahab were founded in the town of Esslingen by Midnattsol and Penetralia musicians Daniel Droste (vocals, guitars, keyboards) and Christian Hector (guitar), alongside Endzeit member Stephan Adolph (bass, background vocals). Taking inspiration from Herman Melville's classic tale of a great white whale and the infatuated ship's captain who pursued it, Ahab first tested their creation in the shallow waters of a 2004 single entitled "The Stream" and 2005 demo named The Oath, before diving into the deep end with their 2006 album, The Call of the Wretched Sea, featuring session drummer Corny Althammer. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
