PRAYERS released ‘Noche de Guerra’ on Friday 13 November, the second single from the upcoming EP ‘Oraciones’, due through TEAMBRO, the label of Mexican company Zepeda Bros. The track arrives with an official video that continues the story of ‘No Tengo Calma’ and explores themes of love, loyalty and Chicano culture.
The release also marks a new chapter for Zepeda Bros, a concert promoter with events in Mexico City, Monterrey and Guadalajara, which is relaunching its management division with PRAYERS as its first artist.
‘Oraciones’ will be the project’s first release recorded entirely in Spanish. First single ‘No Tengo Calma’ arrived on 4 September, blending post-punk, darkwave and electronic music. Leafar Seyer, the artist behind the project, has described the new material as “a love letter from Mexico to the world”. A release date for the EP has not been announced.
PRAYERS formed in San Diego in 2013, founded by Rafael Reyes, known as Leafar Seyer, and Tijuana native Dave Parley. Reyes coined the term “cholo goth” to describe the project’s sound and aesthetic, which fuses Chicano street culture with the goth scene through darkwave, electronic rock and synth-pop. Its catalogue includes ‘SD Killwave’ (2013), the Travis Barker-produced ‘Young Gods’ (2015), ‘Baptism of Thieves’ (2017) and ‘Chologoth – The Return of Pluto’ (2022). In late 2025, it released the ‘Hey Tú!’ EP with Mexican electro-industrial duo Hocico via Germany’s Out of Line.
The single lands mid-run on the ‘No Tengo Calma’ West Coast tour. After a 12 November show at the Swan Dive in Las Vegas, PRAYERS play the Music Box in San Diego tonight, the Darker Waves festival in Huntington Beach on Saturday 14 November, alongside The Smashing Pumpkins and Morrissey, and Strummer’s in Fresno on Sunday 15 November. No UK dates have been announced.
