User Reviews:		Your Review:
Having only vaguely heard some of Tiamat's music with albums like Wildhoney, i had always wondered why they were somtimes lumped into the death/black/dark metal category with the other scandanavian greats. I had heard that Tiamat'a first three albums leaned more towards dark or death metal and that they had strayed from their roots on later releases. Feeling adventurous, i picked up The Astral Sleep and was impressed almost instantly. I might even be so bold as to suggest that people who don't really know black or death metal that much should start here instead of any Opeth album. I think that this album contains enough diversity to be respected by the "rock" crowd and enough dark brutality to earn a well deserved place in every heavy music fan's collection. So if you heard Wildhoney and were looking for something more and brutal and more edge to it, i strongly recommed The Astral Sleep. I also suggest you buy their first three albums in this order: The Astral Sleep, Clouds, Sumerian Cry Review by: A.D.Under_Lord Oh my Satan! ... after hearing Clouds first, and the wildhoney, i decided to go for this one, and i was not wrong...i found here my third favorite tiamat album...it is absolutly great 9/10 Yeah they've changed from dome doom.death metal album to an only doom metal like wildhoney, but what a way to dominate those styles! In both they wwrote good music with good lyrics and everything ... i only have to be very sorry that they've changed NOW to a more ROCK/DOOM metal, it's an interesting style, but definitly something i don't like. DOn't waste your money buying the new stuff....first try the old stuff...I'm telling you...get this one or DIE Review by: franckcho my first album of great Tiamat and their Best album... the very true album... Johan we love u...even...even if u became the shit now...:((:(( Review by: dark-girl as the others said this record is very raw and - hate me but - i like the "softer" tiamat more. of course here are nice songs...but...that guitar sound sucks in my opinion...if want to listen to death metal i listen to morbid angel...but anyway this is a nice record Review by: Corpsie First doom masterpiece by Tiamat. Awsome trucks which are pure killers: 'Lady temptress', 'A winter shadow', 'Mountain of Doom' and of course 'Ancient Entity' Review by: manos Who could expect that after SUMERIAN CRY this band will come up with an album like ASTRAL SLEEP? The base of atmospheric death of the 90s! Review by: sotiricon		Use the textarea below to write your review of this album.
