Melbourne metalcore band **TERMINAL SLEEP** are proud to announce they have signed to **Nuclear Blast Records**. Formed in 2022 and shaped over the pandemic, the band are unapologetic about their fierce style; a melting pot of heavy music championing self-empowerment and gender equality as well as the importance of mental health. This message of music with substance is just one facet that fans can expect alongside the reputation of delivering an explosive live performance. The past year has been a whirlwind having played with the likes of **COUNTERPARTS, SPEED, KUBLAI KHAN, HARMSWAY**, and **GATES TO HELL** as well as adding several festivals to their intensive resume.

**TERMINAL SLEEP **comments, “It is a privilege to be welcomed into the family amongst so many legendary bands we grew up listening to, and fresh new bands we have on repeat. We could not be more excited to bring in the new era of Terminal Sleep with Tommy and the whole team at Nuclear Blast!”

**Nuclear Blast **American Label Manager & A&R **Tommy Jones** comments, *“Last year a pal of mine hit me with a link and said ‘check this out’. It was to a few unreleased songs by Terminal Sleep from Melbourne, Australia. One listen and a bit of research and I was all the way in! Last January, I saw the TS crew from down under in Hamburg Germany …and holy hopping kangaroos, I was completely blown away! Bec was in full on beastmode and I thought she was going to eliminate the entire room. A must see. I am ecstatic to usher in Terminal Sleep to the worldwide Nuclear Blast family! LFG, don’t sleep!*
