Southern California’s DAYSEEKER — Rory Rodriguez [vocals], Gino Sgambelluri [guitar], Ramone Valerio [bass], and Zac Mayfield [drums] — are thrilled to announce their sixth album Creature In the Black Night.
Produced by Daniel Braunstein (Spiritbox, Silent Planet) and mixed by Zakk Cervini (Blink-182, Bring Me The Horizon, Lorna Shore), the album is Dayseeker‘s most immersive and intentional record to date — eerie, cinematic, and threaded with a dark (and sexy) emotional current.
Creature In The Black Night arrives October 24 via Spinefarm. Pre-save it here.
The band also shares the video for the title track.
The song is a moody, dreamy anthem and it’s everything fans have come to know and love about Dayseeker — stunning and dramatic vocal shifts, Rodriguez’s DNA-distinct falsetto, rising sonic tension that escalates and then explodes, and downright pretty melodies co-exist alongside plate-shifting breakdowns.
“Creature In The Black Night is the darker part of your conscience overpowering you,” reveals Rodriguez about the song. “It’s about the rush you’re addicted to that you can’t ignore.”
It follows the release of Pale Moonlight, which arrived in late April and already accumulated over 10 million streams.
While not a concept album in the traditional sense, Creature in the Black Night exhibits thematic cohesion, from its shadowy visual identity, Grim Reaper iconography, and ominous atmosphere, to how its songs unfold like chapters. “There’s a horror-inspired vibe that took hold early on,” Rodriguez explains. “It wasn’t planned. But once it started showing up in the songs, we leaned into it.”
Fans expecting a sorrowful descent into depression might be surprised — Creature in the Black Night has sharper edges, heavier riffs, and a newfound sense of clarity. “There was this idea that we’d get more and more commercial over time,” Rodriguez says. “But I think the opposite happened — we’re riffing more, I’m screaming more. And it feels good. It feels honest.”
Dayseeker hasn’t just evolved. They’ve ascended.
Dayseeker will return to the UK in February 2026, performing alongside Motionless in White across their EU & UK arena tour and will spend the rest of 2025 on tour in the US. They have a spate of headline dates and will serve as support for both Ice Nine Kills and In This Moment.
