Australian metalcore band OCEAN SLEEPER will release its sophomore album, 'Peace When I'm Dead', on August 21 via BMG Australia/Rise Records.

The anticipated news of their forthcoming album drops alongside the title track and video, 'Peace When I'm Dead', an explosive follow-up to their powerful and defiant comeback single 'Break The Cycle', released in May.

The single arrives alongside a striking official video.

Following their collaboration on the clip for 'Break The Cycle', OCEAN SLEEPER once again enlisted Freeman Films (TONES & I, PARKWAY DRIVE) to bring 'Peace When I'm Dead' to life on screen.

The result is an emotionally charged and visually intense journey that perfectly complements the song's message and themes.

OCEAN SLEEPER vocalist Karl Spiessl explains: "This band has never been afraid to dive into the darker parts of our lives, and this album is no exception.

At its core, the record explores the ongoing battle we have with ourselves — that constant inner struggle that can feel endless.

It's about coming to terms with the idea that this conflict may always be part of the human experience, and learning to accept that reality." The band wrote and recorded 'Peace When I'm Dead' in various locations across the world, including Melbourne, Los Angeles, and Portland, USA.

The album was mixed and mastered by metalcore heavyweight Jeff Dunne (MAKE THEM SUFFER, DISTURBED, KNOCKED LOOSE), who worked alongside producers Jon Lundin (FALLING IN REVERSE, POINT NORTH) and Curt Martin (CATCH YOUR BREATH).

The band's global fanbase has been built through unwavering self-sufficiency and relentless persistence.

Their biggest national headline tour yet will take place in September on the 'Peace When I'm Dead' tour presented by New World Artists and Fireball AU.

This is not OCEAN SLEEPER's only live outing this year - they will play 82 shows between now and February 2027, taking their music to fans across Europe and the US.

The band will be supported on select dates by NEVERTEL and Parkway Drive before embarking on a massive global run.

The 'Peace When I'm Dead' tour is one chapter in an even bigger story - OCEAN SLEEPER's ability to turn negative emotions into something positive, almost spiritual for the live setting.

They can't wait to share their music with fans worldwide.
