Southern California's melodic titans are set to amplify their masterpiece with remixes, covers, and a fierce new edge.

In a thunderous announcement that has the metal community buzzing, Southern California's own DAYSEEKER is gearing up to release 'Creature In The Black Night Redux' on February 26, 2027, through Spinefarm. This expanded edition of their groundbreaking 2025 album promises to deliver a feast for fans with remixed tracks by synthwave sorcerers THE MIDNIGHT, live renditions, and an emotional cover of My Chemical Romance's 'Ghost Of You'.

Frontman Rory Rodriguez shared his enthusiasm, stating, "This was such an honor to collaborate with THE MIDNIGHT and transform these songs in a way people have never heard before." The nostalgia runs deep as Rodriguez reflects on their cover, aiming to infuse their unique sound and image into a classic that resonates with both their past and present.

To kick off the celebration, DAYSEEKER has unveiled the remix of 'Shapeshift', featuring THE MIDNIGHT, a transformative journey that reimagines the original's mellow vibe into an '80s synthwave anthem. Rodriguez expressed his awe at the collaboration, revealing how a simple piano jam evolved into a groundbreaking re-interpretation that he believes fans will embrace with open arms.

Tim McEwan of THE MIDNIGHT echoed this sentiment, hinting at a new genre he's dubbed 'metalwave'. "DAYSEEKER + THE MIDNIGHT just felt like the perfect fit," he remarked, indicating a deeper connection with the metal community and a vision for the future of music that blends genres in innovative ways.

The album's track listing is a treasure trove of sonic exploration, featuring fan favorites and fresh remixes, including a live performance of 'Shapeshift' from Sirius XM Octane that captures the raw energy of their live shows. As the band gears up for the second leg of MOTIONLESS IN WHITE's 'The Sweat And Blood Tour', fans can expect a visceral experience that showcases DAYSEEKER's evolution from post-hardcore roots to an emotionally charged powerhouse that resonates with the masses.

Since their formation in 2012, DAYSEEKER has forged a path defined by emotional depth and sonic innovation, transcending mere 'sad rock' to create anthems that empower and connect with fans across the globe. With over 600 million streams and a fervent following, their journey is a testament to the power of authentic expression in heavy music.
