Oregon's death metal quartet SEA SLEEPER preset their sophomore full-length album, Burden of Antlers. With a sound that embraces the weird and obscure, Burden of Antlers sees the band hone further the cohesion across their composition process to produce an offering that is thoroughly eclectic and heavy.

The band comments:

"Burden of Antlers is our second album as sea sleeper. Three of us have been working together to make the weirdest/Heaviest metal we would want to listen to. We have been playing music together for close to 15 years and we recently recruited Tony Spradlin as the fourth sleeper. This album is a more cohesive effort than our debut release Nostophobia. This record comes back to passages and re-explores them in their entirety instead of finding the next shiny riff."

SEA SLEEPER has refined the creative direction of their sound in Burden of Antlers. Leaning into the eclectic, 'weird', and, ultimately, heavy, the band focus on developing riffs and motifs across the track list, resulting into a more cohesive and thematically linked full-length offering.

Burden of Antlers was recorded at Sleeping Studio by Jesse Cooley and Shane Cooley. The album was produced, mixed and mastered by Jesse Cooley, with the cover artwork created by Johnny P.
