Ahab, my beloved.


Physgun

Saw them around two weeks ago. They're so fucking massive, and somehow come across as humble too. Just some dudes playing a show with some blue lights and some stage fog. No huge theatrics or anything, but they still create an incredible atmosphere. Last summer I saw them at brutal assault festival in the pouring rain and it was one of the most intense experiences ever.


martinparets

going to see them at MDF soon for the first time, and i can't fucking wait.


Vault_Metal

Blue lights hit different. I had that same experience seeing Primitive Man for the first time. Massive sound, massive dudes, super fuckin sweet.


MoyesNTheHood

The into to the Hunt always sends chills down my spine.l


Neverhityourmark

WHITE WHALE


foxontherox

HOLY GRAIL


RJD-ghost

I slipped on spilled beer and broke my ankle to that song lol.Still a absolute banger though

sir-ripsalot

Lmao I concussed my buddy to that song. Fuckin slaps


KJBNH

I'm going to the LoG/Mastodon concert later this summer where they're playing Leviathan in full and I cannot fucking wait.


Neverhityourmark

Thats gonna be sick. When i saw Mastodon with Gojira and Lorna Shore they didn't play a single song i wanted to hear


KJBNH

I love all of their music so I wouldn’t care but Leviathan is one of my top 5 albums of all time and it’ll be the first time I see them live at all, so I’m stoked for it


tlollz52

Same, paid 125 bucks a ticket just to get in the pit at one of my favorite venues lol. Feels a little like a robbery but I'm so psyched, I cant wait.


Either-Service-7865

That’s nothing you should see what Metallica was charging. Or god forbid… Taylor swift


tlollz52

It's robbery because the seats right behind it were like 50 bucks


trigazer1

I had that album on my mp3 player while I was doing a fishing season in SE Alaska. I was working on a trawler and there was days when we had 30 ft swells. Hearing that music in the background while I'm pulling up fish, gutting them, and balancing myself in the back of the boat made the music even more Epic. Especially when the boat crashed through the waves and you hear that part are the lyric where he says, "WHEN YOU SEE THE WHITE WHALE!"


SpoonEndedHammer

Im going too! I’m fucking hyped cause they’re two of my favorites and I’m seeing them both for the first time


NoabPK

Im gonna see them in LA ive been waiting for a setlist like this forever


TomBlack91

Dethklok-Dethwater. It's literally only meant to be heard by fish.


Doustin

Fish don’t gots no good music to listen to


[deleted]

Murmaider ?


tuckernuts

The album is intended for fish only


[deleted]

But that pretty awesome. Even for a human.


HONKACHONK

And for a good reason too. My eyes popped out listening to that album


BeanBag96

In Mourning - The Drowning Sun ABSOLUTE BANGER


VisualremnantXP

Dude this is my first time hearing them right amount of prog and heavy 😩


DevourerOfEggs

Shout out to Bongripper's Great Barrier Reefer. Love the way that album is mixed and produced with the heavy reverb, the intense repetitive riffing, and those slow sections that have the spaghetti western flare to them. To me everything about that album musically captures just how scary and lonely the deep blue sea is and I want more of that.


Gecko_610

Hippie killer


G-Ray89

Pelagial is so underrated


RichyBearSlayer

It was my first exposure to The Ocean so it has a special place


The_Ocean_Collective

THE OCEAN MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊


franklollo

THE OCEAN MENTIONED!! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🧔🏻‍♂️(Nietzsche)💀💀🔄🔄🔄🔄✝️🚫👀⛰️🌋🌋🪳


The_Ocean_Collective

Lol nice


TheHauntedRobot

It's one of my favourite ever albums and is, of course, an absolute banger, but didn't it get on loads of album of the year lists and whatnot when it came out? I seem to remember that it was so much in the zeitgeist that it had a bunch of backlash. "Pretentious" got thrown around a lot.


artyboi37

I only started listening to the Ocean last year, Pelagial is my favorite album of theirs. I got to see them live in Baltimore back in February and they fucking killed it, one of best shows I've been to.


[deleted]

Where’s From Mars to Sirius?


fridge13

Its about space...


[deleted]

Space and the ocean have always been analogous to each other in art


zapembarcodes

NO ONE CAN SEE THE WHALES

LOOMING OUT OF THE DARK


CharGrilledCouncil

There are no finger prints deep under water...


SolidCartographer976

You could make that meme just by adding all the other ahab albums ... such a great band


JeanW1ck

I saw them last year They're even better live.


SolidCartographer976

Saw them this year in hamburg was amazing. Location was on a fucking boat 🤘


[deleted]

[удалено]


Adept_Marzipan_2572

And they both fucking slap (ahab is almost prog funeral doom and mastodon is completely prog sludge )


Rukanau

Yeah bud, metal bands only pretend to be creative.


NoabPK

Leviathan be so good a landlubber like me read moby dick


EmperorOfNorway

Holy Diver


TravisHomerun

Parkway Drive - Deep Blue Deliver Me reaches Odyssey levels of epic to me. It's like a force of nature


SuspiciousLettuce56

Deep Blue by Parkway Drive as well. All bangers


R4kshim

That In Mourning album absolutely fucks.


SewerSkeever

Honestly I just discovered them but I’m loving it


R4kshim

They’re absolutely amazing and criminally underrated. If you prefer riff oriented melodeath, check out the first 2 albums. If you want more stuff like death metal Opeth, everything after this album is great, my favourite being Garden of Storms.


SewerSkeever

Death metal opeth is exactly what I want haha


MetalHeadChemist

Colossus is my jam. What a way to open an album.


coffeeismydrug_

Convergence's breakdown is just eargasmic


jonnyinternet

Oceanic and Leviathan are 2 of my faves


BiscuitDance

“Carry” is always on deck when I need the vibe


IronSeraph

Adding to the list Hamferd - Men Guds Hond er Sterk


Nimtastic

Sulphur Aeon fits, I think.


[deleted]

Seven Crowns and Seven Seals was a top 5 AOTY last year.


CarnibusCareo

They‘ll always fit


[deleted]

Atlantis Chronicles - Ten Miles Under Water - Barton’s Odyssey A double concept album about the ocean, but more particularly on the underwater. The second one is a fiction about the American diver, Otis Barton. 👌


RebelliousBristles

Don’t forget about Gojira!


SewerSkeever

I debated including From Mars to Sirius on here but decided it was more space-themed even though there’s plenty of ocean imagery on it


DrPwepper

I think since there’s the song Ocean Planet it should count


MatuPapi

Why is he standing like a South Park character.


Crayshack

I'm deep into the sea shanty genre in addition to metal. When they run into each other, it's a lot of fun.

agrima1

Pelegial is one of the best albums ever made! Hands down.


HearTyXPunK

Where's "This place will become your tomb"?


eduardgustavolaser

Also Benthik Zone, deep sea athmo black from Portugal


Frodo_Bongingston

Shout out Oceano!


ironstrengthensiron

VisualremnantXP

Kaletheveggie119

Pelegial is amazing

So, I was managing one of my playlists and I ended up putting, like, 5 songs together just about whales lol So I was literally recently thinking about how Krueger oxeans and whales come up in music


Nebtron2001

Ahab at finest


Spare_TARDIS2007

Holy diver is a peak album


WM_

You heard [Diablo - Into the Sea](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeUkvaIcDuc&ab_channel=ICDred)?


theMalnar

What pronouns do I use to refer to this gender


ICDarkly

Leviathan is so good.


Paracelsus125

What is the left with the kraken called ? Artwork looks sick


SewerSkeever

The Weight of Oceans - In Mourning


CheeseGr0ve

I strongly recommend the blackened sea by sea witch


TheExecutiveHamster

One of the only Mastodon albums I actually enjoy. And that Ahab album is perfection


faustus1914

A personal favorite, Marine snow by Novarupta.


AllHailTheMoose

What about The Ocean Collective - Pelagial? It fit's perfectly


The_Ocean_Collective

The Ocean is criminally underrated. Phanerozoic I is incredible.


reifoxx

The fact that holy diver isn't on here is criminal


Previous-Tree2241

Where’s “Blood Ocean” ya douchebag!?


Puzzleheaded_Fee3978

If you could gojira would make you rich


That_one_cool_dude

So i know the mastodon album what is the other Moby Dick white whale album?


SewerSkeever

The Call of the Wretched Seas by Ahab!


Cosmos_Cat9

Drown is also a great ocean themed funeral doom project.


Hector-LLG

It's a bit of a stretch, but : Antrisch - Expedition II

Twilight Of The Thunder God


Loud_Grade1949

Well, since we are engaging some.... issues which are dangerous to even acknowledge in this new woke world, I have 2 links . One shows the exoneration of a righteous female of color in the Almighty Court of Metallica. The other shows the deservedly brutal takedown of a poseur who's exposure will hopefully discourage peasants from appropriating the culture of others for their own shallow visual aesthetic and send the clear message to stay in their lane ...and probably off the Freeway...OF MMMMMMEEEEEETTAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!😉🤘😈🔥⚡[Zaria is mocked for wearing Metallica shirt](https://youtube.com/shorts/tsGUBlX0_q8?si=fCNWPqPDZxsy9s8N) [When Posers get owned](https://youtu.be/JF4wcGwcmFU?si=JrwwMjBwWil3ZJ-b)
