Dayseeker - Creature In The Black Night (2025)
“Creature In The Black Night” sees Dayseeker lean into darker territory both thematically and sonically — addiction, internal demons and transformation become the central motifs.
Musically the album blends sharp guitar riffs, punchy drums and heavier screams with sweeping synthwave atmospheres and haunting melodies, producing a moody yet powerful hybrid.
Frontman Rory Rodriguez’s vocals range from falsetto and clean singing to impassioned screams, effectively navigating emotional peaks and raw vulnerability.
The horror-inspired aesthetic (grim reaper imagery, shadowy textures) gives the record a cohesive visual and sonic identity, making it feel like a concept album without being strictly one.
Overall, it’s a bold evolution for the band: not the safest next step but one that feels honest, earned and capable of resonating for listeners craving depth as well as intensity.
