Aussie metalcore giants Ocean Sleeper have officially announced their headline tour, alongside Point North (USA) , Zero 9:36 (USA) and local legends Heists.
Hailing from the heartlands of Gippsland in regional Victoria, the local metalcore stalwarts have quickly made waves within the domestic and international heavy music scenes since their inception in 2016.
Comprised of lead vocalist Karl Spiessl, guitarist/backing vocalist Ionei Heckenberg, additional guitar riffery via Stan Liagourdis and drumming care of Jarred Robson, the young act quickly made waves on the scene with breakout debut EP Six Feet Down to huge critical acclaim both locally and internationally.
Having shared stages with a variety of iconic metal/hardcore acts ranging from Justice For The Damned, Belle Haven, Atreyu and Killswitch Engage to The Getaway Plan, the bands’ diverse touring schedule reflects a freshness and adaptability you’ll also find in their musical output and live show alike.
They’ve also struck out on their own as a headliner to wide acclaim via the 2023 Is it Better Feeling Nothing Tour, with Thousand Below, Earth Caller and Inertia as supports. This ain’t their first rodeo!
