An Iowa-esque chapter to look forward to in the new year.
On January 3rd, 2025, fast-rising standouts Paleface Swiss will release their third album, Cursed, independently, continuing a celebrated trajectory that has earned them great praise throughout the deathcore arenas and beyond. Signature to their craft, Cursed follows its predecessor's footsteps in developing a comprehensive visual identity built around the anguish and lyricism of its full-length, and lead single, Hatred, excels at introducing the madness of it all. Catch the band on tour next spring (dates below) and experience the insanity of Cursed in the live setting.
Marc "Zelli" Zellweger comments on the lead single:
“When you’re a kid growing up, you're happy and you think everything is cool, but nowadays, every time you open your phone, it’s just a flood of negativity. We’re bombarded with so much bad news every day that finding anything positive feels nearly impossible. ‘Hatred’ is us venting our frustration about the things we can’t change. It may not be as deep as the other tracks on the album, but it’s for everyone who’s fed up with the constant negativity in the world. For the music video, we wanted to keep it simple and raw—a no-nonsense, old-school performance video with us going as hard as we can in a room. There are, however, a few easter eggs hidden in there that will make more sense as we release more videos from this album.”
