The Astral Sleep is the second studio album by Swedish metal band Tiamat. Released in 1991, it marks their debut on longtime label Century Media Records. It was reissued in 2006 with two tracks from the A Winter Shadow single, released in 1990.
Musically, this album blends the death metal style of Tiamat's debut album with gothic metal elements. Lyrically, it features a mixture of Satanism with introspective and esoteric themes.
