Dayseeker has released a new single titled 'Shapeshift' along with a visualiser, serving as a preview of their upcoming album 'Creature In The Black Night,' which is set for release on October 24th via Spinefarm Records.

The song 'Shapeshift' addresses vocalist Rory Rodriguez's personal struggles with anxiety, acting as an open letter about how it influences his identity, and the album features a darker, horror-inspired vibe that emerged organically during songwriting.

This new album marks a departure from their previous work, incorporating heavier riffs, more screaming, and a more intense, honest sound, reflecting their embrace of a heavier, more riff-driven style.

Formed in 2012 in Orange County, California, Dayseeker has evolved from post-hardcore roots into a band known for transforming grief and trauma into emotionally resonant music, with over 600 million streams and a reputation for authentic songwriting.

Their discography includes five albums, with 'Sleeptalk' and 'Dark Sun' showcasing their melodic and atmospheric development, especially influenced by personal experiences like the death of Rodriguez's father.

Produced by Daniel Braunstein and mixed by Zakk Cervini, the upcoming album features a heavier, more riff-driven sound with increased screaming, signaling a shift away from their earlier, more commercial style.

Fans can presave the album and look forward to supporting it with a UK tour early next year, including a performance at the Good Things Festival in Australia in December.

Throughout 2025, Dayseeker will tour extensively across the US, supporting bands like Ice Nine Kills, Kim Dracula, and In This Moment, with notable festival appearances at Aftershock and Louder Than Life.

The band is scheduled to perform at Good Things 2025 later this year, offering fans a chance to hear their new material live.

Supporting their tour, Dayseeker will support Ice Nine Kills and In This Moment across multiple U.S. cities from August 22 to October, with the tour spanning several months.

With the release of 'Shapeshift' and their upcoming album, 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for Dayseeker as they blend their heavier roots with experimental and atmospheric elements.

Frontman Rory Rodriguez emphasizes that the band has evolved into a darker, more energetic group that feels authentic and fulfilling, embracing a sound with more screaming and heavier riffs.
