AHAB will start recording the successor to their debut albm “The Call of the wretched Sea” in February.

Immediately following the recording sessions, the German Nautic Funeral Doomsters will sign on at Markus Stocks Studio E (Empyrium, The Vision Bleak) to mix and master their second album.

Furthermore, the band has plans to tour throughout Germany right after the release of the album (tentatively scheduled for September 2009).

All impatient sailors might want to visit Ahabs homepage to find the latest news and exclusive band merchandise.

Christian Hector talked to us about the concept behind the upcoming album: “We will remain faithful to our name. For this record, we took a closer look at Owen Chase and the Essex. Herman Melville was inspired to write Moby Dick by Owens accounts. Owen Chases log documents the tragic sinking of the Essex by a giant sperm whale. However, the tale continues to gruesomely chronicle the sailors' fight for survival in their longboats that eventually lead to cannibalism. It is a very tragic and shocking story.”
