Astral Sleep is a band found in 2004, that plays Metal with all kinds of influences, greatest of them being Doom Metal. The band released a 2-track demo in 2005, that was later released on cassette by Bubonic Doom Productions in the year 2006. In autumn 2006, Astral Sleep began working on their first full-lenght album. Over a year later the album was ready, and it was titled "Unawakening".

"Unawakening" was be released by Solitude Productions 21.09.2008.

Label comment:
"The first LP album of this young Finnish doom death band, with a line-up consisting of musicians who have played in lot of projects and bands, performing music from heavy and power metal to black and death! This work of Astral Sleep draw apart the frames of doom and death metal, in the tradition of Unholy and Umbra Nihil. "Unawakening" is addressed not only to the listeners of the genre, but also to people who search for new music and fresh sensations."

I don't know if this is appropriate to post this on a english forum, but anyway...

Usually Astral Sleep is not the "battle of the bands"-participator, but since we have long time ago decided that we would very proudly play live in midsummer festival Nummirock 2010 in Finland, we had to participate to the contest they are helding.
