Dayseeker "Creature in the Black Night"

Formed in Southern California and forged in adversity, Dayseeker evolved from post-hardcore upstarts into one of the most emotionally resonant and stylistically agile bands in heavy music today. Their songs don't just process grief, heartbreak, and trauma - they transform them into something magnetic, powerful, and ultimately empowering. Made up of singer Rory Rodriguez, guitarist Gino Sgambelluri, bassist Ramone Valerio (who joined in 2017), and drummer Zac Mayfield (who joined in 2022) the band prioritize emotional truth over trends, connecting through authentic passion, sonic innovation, and lyrical vulnerability. The profound resonance of the band's music with fellow outsiders worldwide is evident in their 600 million+ streams. And it's palpable at every show, from sold-out headlining runs in theaters to tours with Pierce The Veil, Bad Omens, and Ice Nine Kills. That sense of creative reverie pulses through Dayseeker's sixth full-length 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. 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. Dayseeker hasn't just evolved. They've ascended
