Australian metalcore band OCEAN SLEEPER has made a major leap in their career by signing a new global recording deal with Rise Records and BMG.

This move comes after the band's recent success with their single "Break The Cycle", which marks an exciting new chapter in the band's trajectory.

OCEAN SLEEPER has been building a reputation as one of Australia's most compelling heavy acts since emerging in 2015.

With their dynamic songwriting, emotional depth and explosive live performances, they've amassed a dedicated global fanbase and sold out numerous headline tours in both Australia and the US.

The band has worked tirelessly to create music that resonates with fans, and it shows in their consistent releases including debut album "Don't Leave Me This Way" and EPs "Maybe Death Is All I Need" and "Is It Better Feeling Nothing".

Their new single, "Break The Cycle", was born from a creative partnership sparked when the band brought POINT NORTH to Australia to support their sold-out 2025 tour.

With this deal, OCEAN SLEEPER is poised to take its sound to even greater heights, delivering its most ambitious material to date.

The signing represents a natural evolution of the band's longstanding relationship with BMG, who have previously partnered with OCEAN SLEEPER across their earlier releases.

OCEAN SLEEPER expressed excitement about the new deal, saying: "We could not be prouder to announce we have signed a new global record deal with Rise Records and BMG.

We're ready to level up with a team who we trust with our vision." Heath Johns, president of Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia for BMG, added: "OCEAN SLEEPER have done it their own way and become one of Australian heavy music's best kept secrets.

It's now time for us to share this secret with the world." The band will continue to tour extensively in support of their new single, including a three-day cruise dedicated to heavy music featuring alongside PARKWAY DRIVE, POLARIS, NORTHLANE and THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT, departing from Sydney Harbour this October.

They'll also embark on their debut headline European shows in Eindhoven, Prague and Vienna and support NEVERTEL across Europe throughout June/July.
