Terminal Sleep are slowly coming back!

After disclosing that their drummer Todd Tombleson needed spinal surgery in January of last year, Terminal Sleep was forced to halt their career, as per theprp. After about seven months, Tombleson is back behind the kit. The Australian metalcore band just had their first session since Tombleson’s surgery. The band did sign with Nuclear Blast Records last year, but details about their future plans are still unknown.

Being a horrible bitch is the theme of Terminal Sleep. Raising hell with a cause, the band incorporates catharsis and turmoil into every song, supported by intense live performances. 

Terminal Sleep, based in Melbourne, Australia (Naarm), but with roots in Melbourne, Hobart, New Zealand (Aotearoa), and the Philippines, made a big impression with their catchy groove, fast-paced guitars, and fierce vocals. 

In 2022, the band released their first hit, “Death Therapy,” and they haven’t looked back. They crashed over the European summer festival scene in 2025 with the same unmistakable presence, sharing stages with Kublai Khan, Gideon, Gates To Hell, Harm’s Way, Counterparts, Dying Wish, and Speed. 

Terminal Sleep inked a worldwide deal with Nuclear Blast Records in July 2025.
