PALEFACE SWISS ANNOUNCE NEW EP AND SHARE NEW SINGLE
Following the surprise drop of their explosive collaboration ‘Instrument of War’ (ft. Stick To Your Guns), Switzerland’s unstoppable heavy export PALEFACE SWISS return with another neck-snapping anthem: ‘Let Me Sleep’. The new single marks the official announcement of their upcoming EP, The Wilted, set for release on 2 January 2026.
A direct continuation of the harrowing universe introduced in their charting album Cursed, The Wilted delves even deeper into the psychological shadows of the Zelliverse. ‘Let Me Sleep’ explores themes of insomnia and internal fear, reflecting frontman Zelli’s struggle with restless nights and the demons that come with them.
“Do you know the feeling when you want to sleep but your head doesn’t allow it — maybe because you fear your dreams? Or do my dreams fear me?” Zelli reflects. “Sleep is so important to me, but sometimes my mind just won’t let me.”
Musically, ‘Let Me Sleep’ delivers everything fans have come to expect from PALEFACE SWISS: ferocious breakdowns, haunting atmospheres, and unfiltered emotional intensity. The accompanying Slender Man / Hellraiser-inspired music video pushes their visual storytelling to disturbing new heights, blurring the line between nightmare and reality with unsettling clarity.
With The Wilted EP, the band expands the Cursed narrative into new emotional and sonic territory. Featuring four brand new tracks, it’s a story of decay, fear, and fragile rebirth, capturing the raw intensity and cinematic depth that have made PALEFACE SWISS one of the most compelling acts in modern heavy music.
After a landmark year that saw them sell over 60,000 tickets worldwide, perform at major metal festivals, and unleash their breakout album CURSED, Switzerland’s PALEFACE SWISS are kicking off 2026 with their biggest European tour to date.
The tour sees them team up with hardcore legends Stick To Your Guns and boundary-pushing UK outfit Static Dress, promising an unmissable lineup for fans of the heavy and the unapologetically intense.
Kicking off 12 January 2026 in Dublin, the run spans major cities across Europe and culminates in a career-defining hometown show at Halle 622 in Zurich on 7th February, marking PALEFACE SWISS’s largest-ever headline performance in Switzerland.
