Dayseeker Share Single and Visualizer, “Shapeshift”

Southern California’s Dayseeker, Rory Rodriguez (vocals), Gino Sgambelluri (guitar), Ramone Valerio (bass), and Zac Mayfield (drums) have shared the video for their new single “Shapeshift.”

Rodriguez states:

“This song is about the anxiety I live with on a daily basis. An open letter to myself about how it shifts and moulds me into a different version of me.”

The track is the band’s third single from their recently announced new album Creature In The Black Night, out October 24th via Spinefarm.

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.

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.

Rodriguez explains:

“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.”

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.

Rodriguez says:

“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.”
