Being at sea is one of the most humbling experiences that a human can face. One can only feel insignificant when alone, with the vast, endless ocean around them. They are helpless, at it's will, and rarely does it show mercy. The sea is harsh and cruel, but at the same time beautiful and mysterious, and so for ages it has drawn men into it, many of which never returned. This romantic vision of the ocean has fascinated many artists and musicians, who often tried to replicate the sea's beauty through their work. However, few were as successful as the German funeral doom band, Ahab, whose first album, Call Of The Wretched Sea, is one of the most riveting musical accounts of nautical adventure ever recorded.







Sometimes, it’s hard to approach your favourite albums with anything short of a complete fan boy attitude. It’s hard to describe them with anything but complete praise, and idolisation. It is also easy to get overly pretentious when you try to recommend, so when I say Back To Times Of Splendor is the sound of Fall, the sound of raindrops cascading down a mountainside. It’s the sound of emotion, love, hate and betrayal all in one. It’s the sound of birth, death and life, crashing together and ending all too soon. Back To Times Of Splendor is the sound of triumph and failure, the sound of gain and loss, the sound of poetry being muttered quietly in case the emotion flutters away. It’s the sound of everything you take for granted, the music that graces your ears without you even knowing, it’s an emotional masterpiece that will never be recreated ever again, Back To Times Of Splendor is utter bliss, a masterpiece that doesn’t need to be loved by everyone, as those who do will find more than enough to last a lifetime, know that I say it as truthfully as anything I’ve ever said about an album before, and for me; Back To Times Of Splendor is all of this and more.



Uh oh, we found Crimson's replacement.

On the tool scale of 1-10 Crimson's Disillusion review was 18/10. This comes close.

difference is you've never listened to my dig

I've listened to this

this is just unoriginal funeral doom. why listen to a second hand clone when you could listen to Skepticism, Thergothon, Esoteric, Mournful Congregation, Worship etc?

I've listened to your dig bro. I didn't say that just to cunt punt you. Its average imo. Just let it go.......



I'm not a big fan of funeral doom for that matter. I'll give those others a look see if what you're saying is true. Still, I just find this release and DT very enjoyable.
