1.	Pacifying 07:34	lyrics
Away from pain Without fear In autumn day You fly away Over the horizon...
2.	Vagrant 06:47	lyrics
In the mirror of your life In the void of illusions All your thoughts like a knife All thoughts just confusion Don’t break the mirror of your soul! Don’t catch the shadow On the black wall! In the mirror of your dream So many blind hopes and roads How long will you scream? Until you reach the row How long? How long? How long will you wander? Don’t break the mirror of your soul! Don’t catch the shadow On the black wall! You lost yourself and desire for light Has changed into eternal flight lost yourself and desire for life How long will you wander? Don’t break the mirror of your soul! Don’t catch the shadow On the black wall!
3.	Deceiver 04:42	lyrics
Words don’t mean anything Empty, cold and stupid But they’re like a bee sting Please don’t lie to me! Venom in your words Please don’t lie to me! Venom in your words They don’t mean anything! Why? So hard to forgive So difficult and painful All can be destroyed in an instant Hope became so distant Please don’t lie to me! Venom in your words Please don’t lie to me! Venom in your words They don’t mean anything! Words don’t mean anything Empty, cold and stupid But they’re like a bee sting Please don’t lie to me! Venom in your words Please don’t lie to me! Venom in your words They don’t mean anything!
4.	Time Like the Sand 06:37	lyrics
Under the guise of false face Hiding the truth Humanity often prefers To live without rules But time like the sand It takes away all chances To change all So as not to fall Lust for profit and war At the first place Without stopping to want more Destroy their own space But time like the sand It takes away all chances To change all So as not to fall But time like the sand It takes away all chances Erases all the roads There is no turning back Under the guise of false face Hiding the truth Humanity often prefers To live without rules
5.	Blue Fear 07:00	lyrics
Brave enough to draw the line Empty walls without a light You hear no sound Nobody there No thoughts, no fear You disappear Don't you hear my calling? Don't you feel I'm here for you? Brave enough to stay alive Broken soul doesn’t try to fly You feel my breath But I don’t here No thoughts, no fear You disappear Don't you hear my calling? Don't you feel I'm here for you?  I scream your name, Again and again! I whisper your name But all in vain!
6.	Secret Shelter 07:18	lyrics
Mystery world of my dreams What could be better? Own great place without fears My secret shelter Close your eyes and run Forget the pain and pray The only way to stay here and now All sorrows dissolve The moment will come And I'll decide to say. Someday I'll go there with you! Somewhere Our sweet dreams come true! I run away again from reality It’s my salvation On the razor's edge I’m walking Just like attraction All sorrows dissolve The moment will come And I'll decide to say Someday I'll go there with you! Somewhere Our sweet dreams come true! Only, when I sleep I'm coming to my world If I could stay forever with you! We'll be able to remain In this world together Just tell me now! Do you want to go Forever with me?

Combining elements from so many different genres and styles of music has yielded a sound unlike any other, and on top of all that the band members are all extremely skilled at their instruments",
UnderAir Media

5/5: "This is a beautiful but groovy sounding album with outstanding vocals. It is a must listen to for any metal fan. You are guaranteed that when listening to this album you will be transported to another mystical world",
Baby Dolls and Razor Blades, Jolene Hughes (UK)

80/100: "The ethereal vocals, the swirling strings, the cataclysmic climax; when I next need to define “progressive” music to someone this is where I’ll send them, there is just so much going on and all of it working in perfect balance",
Belwood Music (UK)

"Het debuutalbum is een zeer toegankelijk album dat bij elke luisterbeurt groeit. Meteen vanaf de eerste tonen bij de eerste keer afluisteren valt alles goed, er is niet een moment van onwennigheid. Dit is een klasse album",
Rockportaal (NL)

"On The Air is Sleep In Head’s debut magnum opus – an exhilarating collection of gorgeous tapestries that all adventurous music connoisseurs will want to revisit time and again!",
Highwire Daze Online (USA)

Thinking Lyrically (UK)

7/10: "Para finalizar, deve também referir-se a atmosfera constante e envolvente ao longo das seis faixas que compõem este interessante álbum de estreia",
Ultraje (PT)

"Sleep in Heads made a good album proposing a new prog heavy rock, a work certainly very interesting for its sound and atmosphere created by both from sweet melodies and much rougher sounds, all finished by a good production that makes the album a very unique work of its genre",
Rockers And Other Animals Magazine (IT)

"To sum up it can be said, that the album is very versatile, musically and be the mood. He is alive and flowily flowing from tenderness into melancholy, can become violent and become calm in a minute. So as a debut it's a really good work",
Antichrist Metalzine (UA)

Whilst delivering well crafted music, unless you focus on the lyrics, you could miss the story lines. This is the last of the war trilogy, so subtle ,but so poignant. Superb music with broken road and Holding On ,on permanent repeat. Listen and become enthralled. Top quality song writing and musicianship.10/10 kzra

I bought the album on vinyl basically just to have the EP on physical format, I'll be honest. This is not to say the album is bad (it is absolutely amazing) but the EP blew me away and is honestly one of the best and most versatile albums I've listened to in a while and the vocals are just insanely good. If you like ExLibris you'll love this band too, no doubt thebluemeanie

It's a great blend of different metal genres and styles, with great solos in basically every song, just that touch of oriental influences that feel natural but not artificial and above all else, performed by the beautiful, haunting voice of Jelena Dobric, who uses it in a way that is not the typical operatic approach as we are used to from other female-fronted bands wormys_queue
