On March 9, 2015, it was announced that the album was entitled Origin and would be released on April 21, 2015.

Dark Sun (2022–present)

On March 25, 2022, Dayseeker released the song "Neon Grave". Rodriguez confirmed the progress on a new album, stating that he has found himself immersed in the emotions that came with the loss of his father shortly after his daughter's unexpected birth. In an interview with Boolin Tunes, Rodriguez revealed that he initially intended to only write one song about his grief and then 'move on', but it quickly grew to engulf the writing sessions and he knew that it would take the majority an album to properly represent his emotions. Their fifth studio album, Dark Sun, was released on November 4, 2022.
