Earlier this spring, cinematic post-hardcore unit Dayseeker unveiled their next iteration with the debut of the expansive, "Pale Moonlight". The track served as the first submission since 2022's acclaimed LP, Dark Sun and officially began the band's current era with vocalist Rory Rodriguez, guitarist Gino Sgambelluri, bassist Ramone Valerio and drummer Zac Mayfield working at full strength.
Offering a healthy indication of the appetite for new music from the band, the track has since gone onto tally more than 1o million streams across preferred DSPs.
Capitalizing on the excitement driving a renewed buzz behind the band, Dayseeker has announced their full length return with the confirmation of Creature In the Black Night. The album is due October 24th via Spinefarm and follows the breakout success of 2022, Dark Sun.
Produced by Daniel Braunstein (Spiritbox, Silent Planet) and mixed by Zakk Cervini (Blink-182, Bring Me The Horizon, Lorna Shore), the album underscores the creative breadth of Dayseeker and the band's performative prowess with a collection of songs that craft an immersive, cohesive experience.
Offering another glimpse into the expansive universe of modern Dayseeker, the band has unveiled the title track from the album. Showcasing a stellar performance from frontman and architect Rory Rodriguez, the track compiles sweeping melodies and dramatic breakdowns in what amounts to a cinematic showcase indicative of the band's consuming sound and spectacle.
"'Creature In The Black Night' is the darker part of your conscience overpowering you," explained Rodriguez of the track. "It's about the rush you're addicted to that you can't ignore."
Speaking to the ominous iconography of the album and the Grim Reaper silhouette that adorns the cover, Rodriguez explained how the feeling was organic as the music came together, "There’s a horror-inspired vibe that took hold early on. It wasn't planned. But once it started showing up in the songs, we leaned into it."
As for what fans can expect from the future of Dayseeker, the album underscores the evolution of the band in a way that is consistent with their creative DNA. "There was this idea that we'd get more and more commercial over time. But I think the opposite happened — we're riffing more, I'm screaming more. And it feels good. It feels honest."
Along with the arrival of Creature In the Black Night Dayseeker has a healthy touring slate 2025. In addition to their own headlining dates, Dayseeker will be supporting Ice Nine Kills and In This Moment for the remainer of the year. See the complete list of dates below. Get tickets - HERE
