The band formed in 2017 under the name of Paleface. They released their debut
EP,
Chapter 1: From the Gallows, the following year and the follow-up,
Chapter 2: Witch King, in 2019. In May 2020, they were set to release their third EP,
Chapter 3: The Last Selection, but because of the
COVID-19 pandemic, the release was postponed; however, instead of an EP, the band released it as a full-length debut album. In 2022, they released their second album,
Fear & Dagger, which was met with positive reception. In 2023, the band announced that they had renamed to "Paleface Swiss" due to there being another artist named "
Paleface"; that same year, the band released several standalone singles, including "Best Before: Death", "Please End Me", and "The Gallow", among others. Vocalist Marc Zelli was featured on
Left to Suffer's 2024 single titled "Lost in the Dark". The band's third studio album titled
Cursed was released on 3 January 2025. According to
Metal Hammer, the band experienced a major breakout in 2024, gaining broader international attention for its extremely heavy blend of
deathcore,
hardcore,
nu metal and
thrash, drawing comparisons to early
Slipknot. == Band members ==
