BloodlustNEW!Dayseeker

Dayseeker – Bloodlust (Official Visualizer)

Dayseeker, who have built their popularity on a post-hardcore foundation and an emotional sound, are a band known for their lyrical, melodic style.

Their new track is a fiercely aggressive number that voices anger and finality toward people who drain the life out of you.

The appeal of this work lies in its intense heaviness—powerful enough to overturn the sorrow-tinged worldview they’ve cultivated thus far.

Shrouded in an eerie atmosphere, it coalesces into a chaotic sound centered on weighty guitar riffs and ferocious screams.

The song is an advance single from their album “Creature in the Black Night,” set for release in October 2025, and it’s a stellar showcase of a bold new direction.

If you want to experience a new side of the band—or if you’re simply craving heavy, aggressive metal—this is a must-listen.
