I present to you a band I have just discovered through this blog
Ahab
--- Quote ---What could be more perfect than doom metal and whales? German band Ahab have modeled their sound and concept around Herman Melville's classic novel, Moby Dick, and seeing how it is one of my favorite books, I was drawn to The Call of The Wretched Sea. Taking a cue or two from Thergothon and Worship, Ahab's sound is as colossal and lumbering as the white whale itself. Of course it would be impossible to cover all the nuances and various themes covered in Herman Melville's original tome, but like Melville, Ahab do a fine job in capturing the absolute peril and vastness of the ocean. Doom metal and whales.

Anything that samples Scheherezade is fucking ace in my book.

--- Quote from: tender on 21 Feb 2009, 15:03 ---Yeah, definitely see them again! I know I'll hit up another nearby show soon. To answer your question though, they're still a four-piece band: Nick Urata (vocals, guitars, piano, theremin, trumpet), Tom Hagerman (violin, accordian, piano), Jeanie Schroder (sousaphone, acoustic bass, vocals), and Shawn King (drums, percussion, trumpet). The writer probably counted the guest performers as permanent band members. A string quartet is an amazing addition to the performance. As are the aerial dancers :-)

I thought that may have been the case.
For being a four piece band, they definitely pull off their sometimes expansive orchestrations well during live performance. That's actually one of the things I love about them!

I've leeched about 30 albums off this thread, so I'll contribute something. Here's the trilogy of albums by "The Sound Of Animals Fighting," a post-hardcore/progressive rock/experimental group fronted by Anthony Green and containing members of RX Bandits, plus lots of other musicians who make small contributions.
