Ahab

Prepare to be submerged in a tidal wave of crushing riffs and oceanic doom as Ahab brings their legendary brand of funeral doom metal to the Webster Theater in Hartford, Connecticut. Known for their monumental, slow-burning soundscapes inspired by Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, Ahab delivers a live experience that is as harrowing as it is hypnotic — a visceral journey into the darkest depths of heavy music. On Christmas night, December 25, 2026, the Webster Theater transforms into something altogether more primal under the banner of 'The Ticket Whaler Presents Safe Ticket Whaling.' This unique and aptly named event promises not just a performance but a communal ritual for devotees of extreme music. The Webster Theater's intimate setting amplifies every bone-rattling low-end frequency, placing the audience at the center of Ahab's immersive, doom-laden world. Whether you're a lifelong follower of the doom and funeral metal scene or a curious adventurer drawn to the darker edges of music, this show is a rare and unmissable event. Secure your ticket early — safe whaling is the order of the night — and prepare to surrender to one of metal's most singular and emotionally devastating live acts.
