Dayseeker - Vultures

Dreaming Is Sinking /// Waking Is Rising available July 14th
Pre-order at www.dayseekerba...
Directed by Orie McGuinness at Enlighten Creative Studio
Lyrics:
Through these eyes, I watched you take the spark that fights to illuminate
Trade her soul for your sickening needs
You are a cancer I will eradicate
It makes me sick to watch you pray upon the innocent, but I can't stand by and simply be a witness
With each fist that splits open my skin, my legs fall as I fail to defend
Tell me how you still can fall asleep when she hasn't shown her face in weeks
Tried to believe that she could outrun these demons
It's inhuman to be so cold
The vultures came and picked and pulled apart
The hell that's in her head
Don't you see yourself for who you really are
The vultures came and picked and pulled apart
The hell that's in her head
From wishing you were dead
The blood stained pavement is the only thing my eyes succeed at seeing
I'm slipping quick into unconsciousness but I meant it when I said it, you're so pathetic
Worthless, despicable waste
And when she's screaming out for help, could you hear a thing she said?
The catalyst to keep her up at night
Though she may forgive, the day won't come that she'll forget
But you are the reason that she stays awake at night
So when I call your name to seal your fate, you better listen
Kicked in the teeth, the vultures circle around me and I see
No hope, no peace, I fade to black with the dark surrounding

[@thornodell8680]

Criminally underrated band.

[@amariliscatclaw142]

Thorn O'Dell punishable by law!

[@devyncartwright7803]

Thorn O'Dell ABSOLUTELY

[@SuperTyler109]

It makes me SIIICK!!

[@CFLaughs]

I wish I would've discovered them sooner!

[@drumsno]

You mean overrated. They get millions of views on their newer stuff. Too much singing for my metal

[@pvfmemes]

I just recently discovered Dayseeker, and the vocal range and dynamics by Rory Rodriguez amaze me, wow.

[@stephenwolfgang2507]

You and me both! Now I'm just dumbfounded and mad that somehow I haven't heard of them before now. I'm still making my way through all the albums and have yet to be disappointed. Haven't skipped a song yet!

[@tannerteague4595]

The best part is that they sound almost exactly the same live.

[@Darthtoaster]

Tanner Teague Yes yes yes just saw them like an hour ago at Chain Reaction they sounds so good live

[@jbasti227]

Tanner Teague One of the best live bands definitely. And got to meet Rory and Mike. He's a pretty cool guys. Can't wait to catch them again at Warped

[@gutcheckfm]

Dayseekr Live > Dayseeker In Studio. In My Opinion!

[@mattr85]

True talent!!!!

[@susanebel7288]

thats like Volumes - they were soo good live

[@mario650]

Bro, the song gets better throughout the entire track, almost like it progresses with giving your ears what it wants.

[@ethanclifton3253]

This album will be phenomenal. Rory is like no other

[@jbasti227]

Ethan Clifton One of the best metalcore/post hardcore vocalists imo

[@SidtheSlothh]

Joseph Bastidas him and Garrett Russell (spelling) are my two favorite lyricists and vocalists, hands down.

[@jbasti227]

Nick FitzGerald Same here. Garrett is on a whole other level when it comes to lyrics.

[@ItsAmplified]

Nick FitzGerald Dont forget Trent Woodley

[@jbasti227]

Nick FitzGerald And now they've made an amazing song together

[@ruicarneiro1640]

[@ruicarneiro1640]

achas mesmo?

[@ciscoisaboss]

Rui Carneiro o que achaste do album?

[@samlfarrar]

Wow this guys cleans are beautiful

[@acceptdrama457]

I believe every single band has that “one song” that everyone knows them by. Breaking Benjamin has Diary of Jane, My Chemical Romance has The Black Parade. Well, I just want to say Vultures is that one song that everyone knows it’s Dayseeker, especially that breakdown at the end. Just phenomenal

[@Bearded_Positivity]

Sleeptalk is mine

[@markbridenbeck1030]

Neon grave is mine

[@JLVCII]

It's without me now for everybody, I never knew these guys even released music like this, not bad tbh

[@s1lenced]

really nice song. the band has a good understanding of how metalcore should sound, but they sure put their own spin on it. clean vocals seems to be pretty "real" and not overtuned or overproduced. i bet the singer sounds live pretty solid

[@bunnysniper007]

David Knoll he does.

[@quentinbohannon4089]

This more djent, Progressive Metal dude ?

[@MorseCodeStutters]

He usually writes the chorus riffs on acoustic and develops the vocal melody for them first so that's why they come in hot every time

[@Gargamel1337haxor]

@@quentinbohannon4089 No its core

[@Rea1Godspeed]

its post-hardcore

[@510destoryer]

This is probably the great song dayseeker put out in my opinion; not saying the last 2 albums weren't great because I bought them twice. Just this song is beyond perfect

[@jakobfel2]

I loved What It Means to Be Defeated but Origin really wasn't my favorite as it was basically just WIMtBD 2 with negative/darker lyrics. One thing I always loved about Dayseeker was the meaning behind their name as stated by the band in the early days: trying to look for the light amidst this dark world. Origin really got negative and I understand why, but I just preferred the more uplifting lyrics. That's one thing I really loved about DIS///WIR, it brought a lot of that back... plus, they just got so much better with the songwriting this time around, it genuinely shocked me.. I knew they were great but I wasn't expecting THAT much greatness haha

[@0xZero0swe]

@@jakobfel2 I agree. I prefer more up lifting lyrics aswell. Btw, interesting with their name. I have been thinking about the meaning with their name before

[@jakobfel2]

Ah finally, I haven't seen someone really agree with me on that aspect. As for the name, there was a video a while back, right before WIMtBD's release, where the band talked about how they were formed, their purpose, etc. I think it was made in response to how people assumed they were a Christian band based off of Hollow Shell's lyrics, which they're not (though Rory has had an ongoing struggle with belief in God, at least; I can't speak for his current beliefs). They explained that basically, they're just trying to be a positive band, a band trying to seek the light (day) in a darkened world.

[@mattr85]

So why doesn't this have millions of views??? So entrancing!!

[@makaiokalahama]

Beyond incredible. Rory's lyrics & vocals never cease to amaze me.

[@robinrocks]

That tapping part in the intro, so good!

[@alexsimas5954]

thank you for posting the lyrics from the description into the comments haha

[@dreero_]

never listened to you guys before, but this kicks ass

[@thatbrit2005]

Better late then never

[@WonderfulGermany]

Lurid me too

[@djinnandjews1430]

With few songs standing as exceptions to the rule, Dayseeker consistently writes some of today's most powerful and meaningful song lyrics. It doesn't hurt them one bit, either, that their music is all at once beauty and beast enough to match the words in tone and earnestness. I expect a lot from their new album and I doubt they will disappoint me after this.

[@bunnysniper007]

just like every song of theirs, this is beyond amazing.

[@tessuh7511]

Lucas Yates hey boo 😘 here from your recommendation.

[@bunnysniper007]

Hey baby girl ❤❤❤

[@meganfairbanks8207]

A song that always manages to make me teary eyed 😭

[@mylife1221]

it's so perfect

[@michaellangley4758]

Never stop making music!!! Saw them play this live and it was flawless!

[@shxne4697]

This is honestly one of, if not the best, songs to be released this year.

[@Dwesk]

I feel like this album is the best of both worlds with some newness sonically.

[@AdamArtz]

nice

[@Dwesk]

Adam Artz totes

[@AdamArtz]

I havent heard the album yet but is this song really a beast as everyone's saying and is the album 10/10

[@Dwesk]

Adam Artz no

[@AdamArtz]

ok

[@MikeOrkid]

Fucking sick blend of vocal styles!

[@mikerkrafter]

Respect Women-core

[@lisacaudle9910]

Mike Kraft you’re song is so good

[@SebStorm]

any other core is not core

[@starseedchat3037]

any man that lays a hand on my mother will die! I will rip him apart! I will tear his head off! I'm done. I'm done. one more man that hurts her is dead

[@rectaltear]

AKA Simpcore

[@RamboFett]

Everytime I listen to this song, I scroll down to read this comment because it makes me laugh so much

[@lucashouse9117]

This is one of those bands that starts out with bangers and just gets better and better.

[@quietri0t]

Soooo amazing! I loved Rory's voice from the beginning and it gets better with every song. So excited for the new record and hopefully they'll visit Europe this year.

[@MCKazachenka]

one of my favourites. Reminds me of "Outline in Color - A Fracture, A Fallout", identical vocal part starting on 2:20

[@r0ckslide375]

My band opened for these guys this past Tuesday. Phenomenal track. Amazing band, now I'm hooked!

[@yuki-zl7mr8dx3q]

This song brought tears the first time I heard it

[@lauravoitik9315]

Rory is such an inspiration. this man writes so beautifully.

[@brandongravitt9199]

A Hands Like Houses/Dayseeker tour would be amazing.

[@disrememberence]

Rory and his friends have been doing a great job, beyond great.

[@mylife1221]

aight this is ridiculous. dayseeker, you're under arrest for being too good for this world. 1:43 RORY WHAT IS THAAAAAAAAAT 3:06 this fucking transition

[@ghostirisdk]

Finally the production a Dayseeker song deserves

[@hadovvvolf2017]

The power in this song...

[@DooDooDaddyTV]

I hope the rest of the album is this heavy

[@dogvtf]

Only Counterpart and some parts of Carved From Stone were.

[@user-sl5uv2gg1s]

now that the record is actually out,. who else got blown away by the fact the 44 seconds intro in the video is actually also the intro track on the album - Dreaming Is Sinking, which also transforms into Vultures, because I know I did.

[@IWrestledmyg1rlonce]

This song is so strong. I'm speechless.

[@jimmylynch3534]

My favorite song ever by Dayseeker. I love this song

[@jimmylynch3534]

Gotta just add, the sound plus the lyrics and how emotional they are.... damn. Goosebumps

[@carlosm9111]

How am I just finding these guys?? Absolutely incredible ...

[@donblotto]

I was today years old when I found my new favorite band

[@DaxWyvrn]

I followed Rory way back in Arms Like Yours and Southern Lights. So good to see Dayseeker getting the attention they deserve. So good, still one of the best voices in this genre.

[@jordanbraddy2022]

Dakattck444 was a good night 😴💤😘🌙

[@loganflanery4586]

This is easily one of the best albums in this genre that's going to be released this year. Can't imagine many bands having a release as good as this one

[@andrewflok9335]

As much I listen to this album and Sleepwalk, I can't stop!!! This bands deserves more love!!!

[@justadeathcorejourney]

Saw these guys live, honestly one of my favorite bands Ive seen live! The talent is so raw and unreal

[@quietri0t]

The first two minutes give me goosebumps every frigging time over all these years. The melodies are haunting, the voice is out of this world.

[@user-sl5uv2gg1s]

so incredible to see how this band keeps on maturing & progressing with each record. freaking fantastic.

[@BRUH_]

Just when you thought Dayseeker was great.... then they dropped this album... and now theyre phenomenal

[@habitsphotography8229]

BRO I'M BLOWN AWAY!!! I loved all their stuff before and damn they got even better!!!

[@MrEL91N]

The start of this song always makes me think of Oh Sleeper.

[@neonjesus8831]

This song fucks me up for reasons not readily apparent. As a fighter and martial artist, the idea of just failing to overcome someone trying to destroy a loved one absolutely breaks my heart. i know this song is written heavily towards the perspective of the survivor. But personally I can't help but sympathize with the man in the coma.

[@JohnDoe-gq9hp]

this will be my favorite song from dayseeker.

[@bunnysniper007]

this needs more views

[@missbl4802]

Dam he's been through a lot of shit. I love this band. Thank you for sharing with us. I love yall so much ❤️

[@neilcorby6786]

this song.. wow, stunning, breath taking. loved this band since I first heard them and they just get better and better. hope they tour the UK one day

[@ReaperR-ki2dx]

Bro never misses with vocals and lyrics

[@starseedchat3037]

I cryed from the abuse in the initial part of the video. I have seen this my whole life growing up! it bring me me to to tears even seeing this. as a Man most don't understand as a Man is suppost to take it, to handle it! not me....i can't take it anymore.

[@newag718]

These guys are great live.. I was fortunate to seem them when they toured with Silent Planet earlier this year. At the time I didn't know who they were.

[@xombiegeek1987]

My God!!! What a fantastic vocal performance!!!

[@Randyswinney]

Saw these guys live and was so impressed. One of my favorites now.

[@metalguru5023]

Never heard of these guys until I saw them at warped today while I was waiting on Chelsea grin. I’m really fucking impressed. They sound almost exactly the same live

[@Jadkens]

Same! I had the pleasure of being close to the front when they were performing. It’s amazing that they sound exactly the same live

[@metalguru5023]

Jadkens they are kinda dicks tho when you meet them. The drummer was rude and the vocalist just had short plain responses to everything. Still a great band tho

[@SeliRico95]

This is great! Can't wait for the album, and hopefully some acoustic versions too!!

[@therandomfamily8371]

Ugh, this is everything-Chaos.Christie

[@wanderers1782]

Dayseeker always hits me right in the feels

[@TreTorres3]

the first time I saw dayseeker was a music video shoot for collision survive at chain reaction In Anaheim. Now I knew they had a lot of talent based off their experience in the scene with their old bands. I just knew after that night that they would evolve into something spectacular. Vultures and Abandon are simply amazing, seriously stoked for this new album!

[@robreeto]

Underrated

[@GRIM029]

I can't express how excited I am for this record. I've listened to their last sooo many times I'm really hoping we get a deluxe with acoustics again

[@coretaku]

When you meet the members, but miss the chance to hang out. *Dayseeker* is a lyyfer.

[@MiyuKamiyama]

this strikes a chord. this is why I love your music. so much emotion.

[@oceanstogeneva3047]

Thrice brought me here. Im glade they did. Much love from Australia. James.

[@skydancer171]

Underrated *yet*

[@vomitoriumbassist]

So powerful! This is what music is all about right here! Gave me shivers!

[@anguscole1]

the lead singer has an incredible voice indeed oh my gosh

[@276SportsCards]

Ohh fuck this album is going to be awesome

[@alexthefossilguy2754]

Thank you KZbin next up suggestion! First time hearing Dayseeker, I have some catching up to do! 🤘🏻

[@beckybranam9120]

I think this one's almost the best one I've heard yet. I like the harder voice. Love it!

[@jck1794]

strong Architects vibe comin off here, love it

[@maxwelld23]

jck1794 negative

[@juliuscaesar1388]

Silent Planet, Periphery...and just a hint of Architects...this is sick

[@yuki1304]

Julius Caesar the periphery is strong in this one 😂 seems like all the bands are on the periphery line right now

[@yuki1304]

+Jason LovesABR yass Thats the thing

[@juliuscaesar1388]

I hear periphery mostly in the cleans, Silent planet in the intro (specifically heading the song Panic Room in those opening lines) and for the atmospheric undertones, and then architects in the slight synth and the guitars. Plus that opening whole section with the drum beat and tapping is very reminiscent of something off the album Daybreaker. Coincidence? Haha

[@YZFMX256]

Julius Caesar I mean Rory has always sung like this with his cleans, no need to reference him to Spencer at all, both are great and very talented frontmen

[@TheBrianKenney]

All of those a a stretch except maybe silent planet

[@dogvtf]

The intro of DiS///WiR is my favorite Intro to First Song combo out of them all.

[@mylife1221]

AAAAAH im seeing them today and they're playing this in 2023, i cant fucking believe it. im so excited, im gonna cry

[@irinasolomina1800]

The definition of underrated

[@antonpazs]

bruh i discovered them with 'without me' and i find this i like this as much i like the new stuff

[@tyhod123]

This band is gonna blow up.

[@Therecouldbe]

I loved this band when they came out and arms like yours was one of my favorites, I just think it’s funny Rory blocked me when I called him out for liking Chris Brown and now they’re blowing up again for a song about rape/domestic abuse. That was a couple years ago so hopefully they learned from their mistakes. Very talented dudes.

[@PlasticExistence]

Perseus Ritenour Him liking Chris Brown probably had nothing relatively to do with this.

[@Shynotic]

Shivers

[@paulgranda4565]

Most underrated band out there.

[@fixheadstrong]

First time i hear this band and i love it i love this style of music .i am from Thailand.

[@edxander7169]

I am from thailandia

[@ajthefatkid4717]

Just watch you guys tonight in KC. Love it

[@torzsokszilveszter2444]

The production is way better than before...that was the weak point before

[@kheigh-lynstanbridge]

Dayseeker/Bad Omens tour would be awesome

[@yysmac9852]

I love this Band , the lead singer is Rory Rodrigo, he has some songs he remastered it too , another one they released awhile back is called Hurtwave also very good. Thanks for sharing.

[@jokka420]

How does a band with a unique melodic harmony have so little of a fanbase?? Definitely going to be looking out for tour dates near me. Kinda raped the replay button... The video and lyrics are like a grimm brothers fairytale imo xD

[@brandonmows]

Jon L I just found them last night by accident because of the plot in you But I love this sound

[@jokka420]

Brandon Zgadzaj , I can relate to stumbling upon a band from other artists... I always try to keep an open mind when first hearing any musician... Band or solo artist. Indulge in all genres :)

[@brandonmows]

Jon L I always give new bands a shot and if I don’t like the style I’ll give them another try down the road I like Rory’s style a ton a really good sound and I’ve been jamming out to origin all day long (4am friday to now 12:01am the next day haha)

[@MrEL91N]

Jon L that's what I thought but it seems like this album will be their first big push so you'll most likely start hearing a lot more about them in the next while.

[@christophermarang.3569]

damn that spineframe budget over that invogue budget is lit as fuck lol.

[@christophermarang.3569]

Jason LovesABR maybe, and Dayseeker left Invogue Records mid last year and signed to Spineframe, which may or may not be a major label. they have a huge budget per album, and from what i hear from He Is Legend they take very good care of their talent.

[@christophermarang.3569]

Jason LovesABR lol fun stuff i talk a lot about a lot of things, yeah they seem to have god money going into that label. good for dayseeker.

[@bryanlenihan5012]

Jason LovesABR We need a new Godsmack album like yesterday

[@Dtone246]

The 2 people who disliked this are Justin Bieberettes. And don't know good music. This song live is amazing!!

[@Dtone246]

epzy clever. Sorry my comment wasn't edgy enough for you man 😂

[@PaolaBarreto]

I Loved your latest singles and this is Sick!! So much Power, I didn't expect this but this is gold!!

[@MarcoTilburg]

dayseeker on vevo.............so sad......cry me a river..))

[@Cyclops5.0]

This is absolutely awesome. First time hearing this song and band. Great 1st choice of song.

[@Rodriggo]

I miss the old Dayseeker

[@sarahtoll8400]

Damn now I can't wait to see you guys in concert next week! VIP will be so worth it!!!

[@valeriag1386]

This song in acoustic please

[@brandonmows]

Valeria Gomez yes we need this

[@tannervipperman4888]

That would be fantastic

[@NoahHirschy]

WOW O_O Glad to have found this band! This is just incredible literally got chills! :D That vocalists is just amazing!
