The end is here The end has finally arrived It is your fault You are to blame That the end is nigh End is Nigh The moment you've been waiting for The final judgement The hand of god reaches out and takes you to paradise The paradise looks exactly like this world And everyone is as holy as thou I will go nowhere We are already living in hell Hell is where the heart is Open up your heart Let me see your hell I do not care about your paradise We have eternity to spend there But all we can ever own is this moment, right now Wake up Journey begins To the other side, Break on through There the paradise for us lies But it is in disguise Blank faces, empty words Suffocated souls Waiting for their day to come When they reach the promised land Which is non-existent Ignorance Vanity Indulgence Sanctimony Gods worshipped in ivory towers Until the earth it devours End is nigh, you were the ones to bring it forth By raping nature and humanity The end is nigh for you and me The end of times is where we are The bringer of doom is what we are We are already living in the end of times

The sound of pounding metal Silent cries of torment Fading of the lies As the skies burn like fire Fading of the lines As the nights burst with thunder Fading of the lives As the seas burn in flames As we’re washed away We feel no shame The silence of ages escalates As we drift away I step ahead over the edge I hold my breath under water For a minute, until I drown The secret lies ahead The power of tombs Hidden is the key inside the cage Locked and far away Fading of the lines As the skies burn with fire Fading of the lights As the seas devour the flames Can you hear them You are not alone ahahaha Faces and voices Haunt me in my sleep, When I’m awakeIn the mirrors, and oceans My memories My misery My existence My torment My Pain Is this the end of pain, The end of me the End of you And of us altogether? This is the end My friend We are in this together
3.
There are no words Constant rain washes The citys distorted face It is cold Fragile connections between us Invisible flesh, too far away from touch Speaking without meaning Without words without sense Movement drunken As the demons dance Mind heavy and hard, throbbing pain There is neither a beginning nor an end Gathering pieces from chaos Time is destroyed and it appears again As a ghost among it's own ruins The ghosts that I manifest Return to haunt us Dark silhouettes against liquid orange sky No stars to be seen, a city full of noise Waiting for love, never arriving You bury it deep within you Intuitively, just a step forward, don't stop now Just a little more and everything will change And I go on, even if I do not know why I go on, thinking each time will be the last time

The Legacies 06:58
Can’t you see the flowers in the garden They are withering every day a little more But the flowers they can replenish Yet the man can replenish only so much By watching the flowers Not counting the hours By Sleeping well Even when in HellThe path Of rising tombs And flourishing nature Reminiscent of Eden The past defines the future The names carry the Legacies From here the soulsHave departured Left behind The microcosmos in it’s beauty All that craves for wind and soil and fire The path of molded tombs And garnished nature Earthly Eden The past reminds of future The names fade from stones and Legacies Face the beast Inside you Release the beast Face yourself You are the one who’s eyes burn red with hate Whose mouth lusts for blood Whose mind is infected Face yourself As you are in the eyes of God Open your God eyes Let your own inside come alive
5.
Time is 07:16
Time that slips away Does not leave a stain Stains are what makes us We are a crude canvas Human existence bound into flesh and countless organs Locked inside The concept of space and time, how sad Time melts away As we count the days Time is equivalent of Zeitgeist Power, nature, physical manifestations It is Power to manifest from psyche to physical, true power Open your eyes Open your mind Open your eye that is closed And feel the power to manifest anything Concept of time does not apply to the soul We are merely born We only die There is Nothing that matters in between Time melts away As we lose the count of days Time is equivalent of Zeitgeist Power, nature, physical manifestations We are obligated to sleep and eat and breath Everything else is a desire Burning desire that turns you into a coal You must forge yourself into a diamond
6.
Resonating with the frequencies, the sense of time disappears The physical existence ceases to be The primary experience It is the status of the soul, That exists beyond the realm of time and space In death, the status of the soul becomes The primary experience Not being alive, being dead, unexisting Vibration like any other Existing not in time, Not in physical form, Not in space, Not in a location Experience opens up when The stars align inside your mind This treasure to seek within you The path of death, but great fortune Let your mind sink into the abyss That it is Let your thoughts come alive Hear them, challenge them Accept them, let them go Non-existence is the goal of human Life is a prison for the soul All of us are prisoners Remember that when you shake the hand of a fellow inmate We all just suffer, eternally. In between everything in humanity. All the energy, the breath of cosmos. Time has to come to embrace the void I’ve the embraced the void in my dreams for so long Sweet sweet embrace of the void Tangles me inside it and outside No place no time No suffering Just endless streams of love But not that soon First this flesh must endure

about

We Are Already Living In The End Of Times witnesses the apocalypse as it manifests, and explores the thoughts and feelings that emerge in the face of the Doom. Why did this happen? What can we do about it? How should we feel about it? Should we care? Does it even matter? The album takes it path through powerful scenes of destruction, loss, and despair, but also of deliverance, self-realization, and existential enlightenment.

With the previous album Astral Doom Musick (Saarni Records 2020), Astral Sleep established their accurate genre definition as the namesake of the said album. With the new, 4th full-length, the band continues to evolve within these musical terms, but this time with a direction towards more Doom and Gloom, less Astral and Magical. The new album’s gargantuan soundscape resonates the immensity of the apocalypse portrayed. Beneath the waves of crushing guitars, rumble the drums and the bass, like volcanoes that erupt under oceans, and above glide the ethereal lead guitars and synths, as the powerful vocals shatter the skies and tremble the earth.

The cover art for the album was created by the renowned artist Mark Cooper, an insanely talented designer of tons of album-covers. This epic piece depicts an apocalyptic event where the last concert ever to happen on earth is about to take place, running on the last fumes of a broken-down factory.

The first single from the album released on 17. Feb. 2023 in all streaming services.
The full album becomes available for purchase on 21. Apr. 2023 in digital, CD, and vinyl formats. The second single is also released in streaming services on the same date. The remaining four songs from the album are each independently released in the streaming services on monthly basis, until the sixth song releases in August 2023.
