Ahab's Ghost, Vega, and Tire Buddies at Cactus Club
The cover art for After The Fall—the debut album from Milwaukee’s Ahab’s Ghost—could have been cribbed from a ’70s high-school stoner’s notebook. Mountains spiraling into the sky? Check. A badass goat staring into your very soul? Check. Hell, even the font used for the band’s name is straight out of a tattered copy of Circus. It should come as no surprise, then, that the group counts metal legends like Maiden and Sabbath as its primary influences. Ahab’s Ghost doesn’t reach the lofty peaks of those devil-horned titans, though it does turn in a promising freshmen effort. A follow-up EP, Scavengers, is expected soon.
