SLEEPTALKER (stylized as "SLEEPTALKER") is a Nashville, Tennessee-based five-piece blending atmospheric textures, progressive songwriting, and crushing modern metalcore into a sound that is as emotionally resonant as it is sonically explosive. Drawing influence from real-life trauma and tragedy, the band balances haunting ambience and soaring melodies with technical precision and unrelenting heaviness.

Emerging in 2024 with their debut single 'LakeSideDreams,' SLEEPTALKER quickly established a distinct identity rooted in themes of grief, loss, reflection, and perseverance. Their debut EP, 'Deathbed Confessions,' transformed dark personal losses into a powerful and immersive listening experience, highlighted by fan-favorite collaboration track collaboration track 'Illuminate(d)' with Myke Terry (Volumes, Fire From the Gods).

Following their first co-headlining tour in 2025, the band continued to build momentum with the release of 'Kingdom of Glass,' produced & co-written by Periphery frontman Spencer Sotelo. In 2026, SLEEPTALKER signed with Tough Luck Music and released "Fractures," their second collaboration with Sotelo - a melodic yet emotionally heavy track exploring regret, loss and fractured relationships. 

With over 600,000 streams and a growing recognition within the modern heavy music scene, SLEEPTALKER continues to push forward with a sound that is both deeply personal and undeniably ambitious. The band is currently preparing the release of their sophomore EP, slated for late 2026.
