Astral Sleep’s new album Astral Doom Musick (Saarni Records, 2020) is the band’s 3rd full-length album, following the previous full-length Visions (Solitude Productions, 2012), and intervening EP Subconsciousnesslesskoe (Independent, 2015).

Astral Doom Musick is an offspring to these previous works, combining the highly detailed pristiveness and massiveness of Visions’ epic death doom with the more experimental aspects of Subconsciousnesslesskoe’s psychedelic doom jams.

Astral Doom Musick is thus the group's definitive creation that sets the frames for the artistic vision, entailing musical, visual and narrative aspects. The album in its entirety is like life itself—beautiful yet horrid, complex and multi-layered, ever-changing and in constant movement.

​

The album consists of four massive songs and 44 minutes of experimental doom metal on detailed, organic and powerful audio track. The songs are accompanied by ornamental artwork and board game incorporated in the 12” gatefold 180 g vinyl edition.

Astral Doom Musick – the board game delivers the full album experience, independently or in unity with the vinyl album. The compined entity offers an in-depth experience of the album’s mythological world. Game tells the album narrative through a 12-page game book, and lets the players experience the story in an interactive old-school fun way. The game is playable solo, or with multiple players, and requires minimal preparations.

Astral Doom Musick is designed to offer a lot for music lovers and board gamers alike, and withstand the test of time.
