PALEFACE SWISS Drop Dark New Single “My Blood Your Hands” & Announce Huge Golden Ticket Give Away
7th November 2024Paleface Swiss, Switzerland’s finest purveyors of expertly crafted brutality, have unveiled their brand new single, “My Blood On Your Hands”, today. Diving deep into the turmoil of unspoken fears and the endless cycle of unresolved struggles, the track serves as the latest glimpse into the band’s highly anticipated third album, Cursed due January 3rd, 2025. Stream “My Blood Your Hands” HERE, watch the official music video HERE and pre-order the album HERE.
Promising be the band’s most thematically layered and sonically intense release to date, every track on Paleface Swiss’ upcoming opus is represented by a different flower featured on it’s artwork. “My Blood Your Hands” is represented by the butterfly weed —a flower, which in Victorian flower language, symbolises rejection and bears the message “let me go”. The song and its video marks the first act in a series of upcoming releases, each exploring a blend of vulnerable and emotional themes intertwined with the band’s signature brutal intensity. Cutting to the core of the human experience, “My Blood Your Hands” balances themes of internal chaos and raw despair.
Frontman Marc “Zelli” Zellweger offers further insight into the track:
“Have you ever been lying in bed, unable to fall asleep because you’re haunted by the same problems you’re too afraid to confront? You replay different scenarios in your mind, but just as you’re about to reach a resolution, you find yourself back at the beginning. It keeps spiralling, growing worse and worse until you reach a point where you think, ‘It would be easier to die than to face this pain.’
The next morning, everything seems mostly fine—until night comes again.
That’s what this song is about.”In addition to the new single, Paleface Swiss are thrilled to announce a one-of-a-kind Golden Ticket initiative for fans.

The band’s upcoming third full-length, Cursed is a masterclass in modern brutality and encapsulates two years of creative exploration and raw personal experiences for the Paleface Swiss members. The band retreated to the seclusion of the Canary Islands to craft this sonic juggernaut. Collaborating with Ron Steven Deris at Misueno Studios and with long-time collaborator Florent Salfati (Landmvrks) helping to add the finishing touches, their work culminated in an album that marries the band’s signature heaviness with intricate conceptual storytelling. The first single from the album, “Hatred”, was released in September, delivering the perfect blend of bombastic nu-core swagger, incendiary rapid fire vocals, thrash-inspired guitar solos and the pummeling rhythmic section the band have become globally renowned for. Since release, “Hatred” has hit 877k streams on Spotify alone, with the accompanying music video hitting 250k views.
