Darkwave Duo Sexores Returns with Vampiric Video for “Sangre” — Featuring Seatemples

“Loneliness will sit over our roofs with brooding wings.” – Bram Stoker, Dracula

Sexores return from their crypt with Sangre, their seventh album…arriving not as a subtle sip, but as a full goblet…an intoxicating draft of lust, loss, and eternal night. Formed in Quito, Ecuador, in 2010 by Emilia Bahamonde and David Yépez, the band has long thrived on alchemy: analog synths colliding with reverb-drenched guitars, with traces of dream pop dissolving into the shadows. Now stationed in Mexico City, they sharpen their fangs with a record that feels like a waltz across a blood-soaked ballroom, where the chandeliers sway and the coffin lids creak to the beat.

The second single, also titled Sangre, is a synth-streaked hymn to Dracula’s doomed passion, refracted through the language of dance floors and funeral rites. The lyrics speak of pursuit and surrender, of blood as both weapon and salvation. One imagines the Count himself whispering between verses, cape spread, teeth glistening, muttering about loneliness while slipping another hapless soul into the immortal night. It’s darkwave with a smirk, reminding us that horror is equal parts theatre and tragedy.

Produced by Matia Simovich at Infinite Power Studios, with Grover Greenberg and Coleman Ketchem conjuring their own arcane touches, the single also boasts the commanding voice of Patricio Zenteno of Sea Temples. His baritone rises like a specter from the catacombs, circling Bahamonde’s delivery with a delicious menace. Doruk Öztürkcan of She Past Away adds the final seal on the coffin lid with pristine mastering, giving the track the polish of obsidian glass.

To mark Sangre’s release, they’ve unveiled a short film directed by Alexis Rios in collaboration with Miel Porena. Imagine Hammer Horror spliced with Dario Argento’s saturated palette, sprinkled with Romero’s shambling menace, and you’re halfway there. B-movie camp collides with ritual seriousness: lovers collide in torchlight, vampiric embraces crossfade into chase scenes, and every frame seems steeped in celluloid blood. It’s playful, theatrical, knowingly excessive…the kind of video that would look at home on VHS, rewound and rewatched until the tape snaps.

Watch the video for “Sangre” below:

Fifteen years into their unholy reign, Sexores sound newly animated, as though struck by lightning at midnight. Sangre is not about nostalgia or pale imitation—it’s about leaning into the myth, the seduction, the bite. They invite us to dance with our mortality, to laugh at our reflection (or lack thereof) in the mirror, and to twirl until the dawn sets us aflame. The album, and this single, feel like a reminder: eternity isn’t meant to be endured in silence—it should be danced through, teeth bared, heart pounding, cape twirling on the floor of the damned.
