Terminal Sleep have landed at Nuclear Blast Records and are ringing in the reveal of their new label home with the debut of their single, “They Circle Below“. The Aussie metalcore quartet commented of aligning with the aforementioned label:
“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!”
The Tommy they refer to is Tommy Jones, label manager and A&R for the American branch of Nuclear Blast. He stated of the signing:
“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!”
As for this newly shared track, vocalist Bec Thorwesten offered the following behind its lyrical inspiration:
“The song explores the journey of navigating one’s self-doubt and the drowning pressure of self-set expectations; overcoming mental turmoil and the only way out being through.”
