ABOUT PALEFACE SWISS Since the release of their first album, Chapter 3: The Last Selection, independent outfit, PALEFACE SWISS have gained international recognition throughout the Deathcore and Beatdown Community. Known for their huge, aggressive riffs, brutally bombastic rhythm section, frontman, Zelli’s outstanding vocals and a pinch of humour. This is Switzerland’s finest heavy music. Across their catalogue, the band have gained 110 million streams, 21 million YouTube views on their own channel, and recently peaked at 1 million Spotify monthly listeners. Chapter 3: The Last Selection was released on October 30th 2020, spawning four huge tracks “Curse Us”, “The Rats”, “Lights Out” and “Skalpell” which quickly ranked high in the beatdown/hardcore charts and saw the band become cover stars on Spotify’s Heavy Beatdown playlist. In 2022 the band released their second full-length album Fear & Dagger. The album was widely considered a huge step up for the band as plaudits began to roll in for frontman Zelli’s vocal ability and the band’s unflinching commitment to never shy away from brutally heavy riffs, face-melting technically insane guitar solos, punishing beatdowns or from facing difficult, emotional topics head on. Metal Injection accurately summed it up in their review by saying, “It’s fun to get caught up in Paleface’s unrelenting instrumentals, but Zelli’s really the star of Paleface. This is largely because he treats his screams like rap bars.” New Transcendence stating “Paleface have created one of the most emotionally relevant and intriguing beatdown releases to date” and Wall of Sound calling it “an unashamedly brutal and angry album”. The album shot the band into the upper echelons of the “New Wave Of Deathcore” and spawned singles “The Orphan“, “Deathtouch“, “Dead Man’s Diary” feat. LANDMVRKS frontman Florent Salfati and fan favourite and stylistic curveball, “My Grave / Lay With Me“. The album focused on more mature and critical topics related to the fears and struggles young people have to contend with in the 21st century, most importantly, the topic of mental health. The ensuing 2 years saw the band’s popularity sky-rocket. Honing their craft in the live arena, the band rapidly jumped from strength to strength, creating what is now one of the most thrilling and impactful live shows in modern metal. Their ability to win over any crowd, whether it be their own headline shows, touring the US with the likes of Body Snatcher or The Ghost Inside, touring the UK with the likes of Counterparts and Kublai Khan or at globally renowned festivals such as Sick New World, Hellfest Open Air, Summer Breeze, Cabaret Vert, Dynamo Metal Festival and more, one thing is for sure, Paleface Swiss will turn an audience into fans by the time they’re done at every show they play. To support their largely sold-out touring efforts, the band released a series of stand alone singles, “Best: Before Death” – now a staple and firm fan favourite in their live set list, “Please End Me” and “The Gallow“. Now, with the impending release of their third full-length album, Cursed, Paleface Swiss are set to write the next chapter or their incredible, epic journey as they reveal their most thematically and sonically ambitious album to date. Never pulling punches when it comes to heaviness, technicality or emotional vulnerability, Paleface Swiss are rewriting the rulebook on what it means to be an extreme metal band. |
