Switzerland prospects Paleface Swiss have delivered another preview from their eagerly-awaited third full length studio album, Cursed. Due to arrive January 3rd, the album is a collaborative effort with Ron Steven Deris at Misueno Studios along with long-time counterpart Florent Salfati of Landmvrks.
Following the cycle introduction with the combustive single, "Hatred", the band unleashed the emotive, "My Blood On Your Hands". Opening with a foreboding a cappella from vocalist Marc “Zelli” Zellweger, the sub 2-minute assault framed a brutal sonic onslaught in line with the intensity that has characterized Paleface Swiss.
The debut of "My Blood On Your Hands" served as the first release in a series that intends to explore the full range of the human experience, developing the emotionally-charged core of the album. For the latest preview of the album and the next in the series of single entries, Paleface Swiss showcase the full range of their emotive performance with "Love Burns".
An impressive execution of style and narrative substance, the single delivers all the heft that has become requisite for the band while framing a poignant undercurrent that adds humanity to the heft. The track is intended to resume where "My Blood On Your Hands" left off and is represented visually by the Cyclamen—a flower with a bloom cycle associated with parting, resignation, and saying goodbye.
Each song on the album is linked with a flower featured on the album art as part of the metaphoric depth of the presentation.
“‘Love Burns’ is a combination of the old and new, and it’s a song I’m immensely proud of. The story I want to tell is something everyone can relate to. The concept of the album, in which each flower represents an emotion and a track, makes it all the more cohesive for me," shared Frontman Marc “Zelli” Zellweger.
Along with the news of the next record from Paleface Swiss, the band have set their run of Europe, the UK and North America for next year with a tour that kicks of early 2025. The run marks the band's biggest headlining stretch for the band thus far. A full list of dates and cities can be found below. Get tickets - HERE
