Ocean Sleeper

Hailing from Gippsland in regional Victoria, and all working trades by day, Ocean Sleeper's background is core to their identity and the deep connection they share with fans. Through fierce self-sufficiency and brutal persistence, the metalcore four-piece have built a vehemently loyal fan base throughout AU, US and EU. Since their formation in 2015, Ocean Sleeper have been cultivating a reputation for blending crushing metalcore intensity with deeply personal lyricism and anthemic melody. From 2019's debut album Don’t Leave Me This Way through to 2025's Maybe Death Is All I Need EP, the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of modern heavy music, connecting with fans through honesty, vulnerability, and explosive live performances. They’ve sold out tours in both Australia and the US, recently playing Polaris-curated metal festival Life's A Beach in Melbourne this year, alongside We Came As Romans, Thy Art is Murder and Caskets. This year, the band will play debut headline EU/UK shows while also supporting US’ Nevertel across through the region through June/July. They'll also play Hellbound Cruise - a three-day Australian cruise featuring heavyweights Parkway Drive, Polaris, Northlane, and The Butterfly Effect - with more 2026 dates still to be announced! Having recently announced forthcoming album Peace When I’m Dead (out Aug 21) , plus recent signing to BMG Australia and Rise Records (USA), Ocean Sleeper are tearing into 2026 with thunderous force.
