PALEFACE SWISS RELEASE ‘I AM A CURSED ONE’

PALEFACE SWISS RELEASE ‘I AM A CURSED ONE’

4th June 2025 0 By Jon Deaux

The wait is finally over. After a massive European tour with over 25,000 tickets sold and a sold-out U.S. run with more than 35,000 tickets sold, Switzerland’s heaviest export, PALEFACE SWISS, is back with their biggest release yet: CURSED–The Complete Edition. This definitive edition includes the band’s stand alone singles released after their breakthrough album Fear & Dagger— “Best Before: Death,” “Please End Me,” and “The Gallow.”

It also features a haunting acoustic version of “River of Sorrows”—a raw and emotional ballad that’s already striking deep with fans worldwide. And to mark the release day, the band unveils a brand new music video for the bonus track “I Am A Cursed One”—a powerful tribute to their fanbase and the chaos and beauty of life on the road.

Vocalist Zelli on the bonus track:

“This song is a tribute to you—our incredible fans, the Cursed Ones. It’s meant to wrap you in a feeling of belonging, no matter where you come from or who you are. When you hear it, we hope you feel the power of being part of something bigger. You are one of us. You are one of the Cursed Ones. Together, we’re celebrating our biggest headline tours, this unforgettable year, and the unstoppable spirit of CURSED.”

When Cursed dropped earlier this year, it tore through expectations – debuting at #17 worldwide on Spotify, #3 in the US, and #1 in the UK – while drawing critical acclaim and amassing millions of streams.

The CURSED legacy continues in full force with major festival appearances across Europe—including Graspop Metal Meeting, Bloodstock (Main Stage), Rock for People, Mystic Festival, Jera On Air, and many more. Later this year, the band returns for an exclusive headline tour across Australia (6 shows), and a special one-off show in Bangkok, Thailand—a powerful and emotional closure to a truly packed and unforgettable year.

Written and recorded in isolation in the Canary Islands, Cursed was produced by Ron Deris at Misueno Studios, with final touches from longtime collaborator Florent Salfati (Landmvrks). Each song is tied to a symbolic flower, forming a broader conceptual arc built on themes of betrayal, sorrow, rage and resilience. Standouts like Hatred,” “Love Burns,” and “My Blood On Your Hands” showcased a band willing to evolve—balancing staggering heaviness with emotional depth.

The new material featured on Cursed: The Complete Edition finalises that arc. The brand new, currently unreleased track “I Am A Cursed One” delivers a final, furious statement, while “River Of Sorrows (Unplugged)” offers a rare glimpse of the band putting their vulnerability front and centre, stripped of the usual chaos that surrounds them.
