PALEFACE SWISS are the fastest rising force in heavy music today. Anyone who has borne witness to their live shows, critics and fans alike, can attest that their dominance is unassailable. Their trajectory unstoppable.
Hailing from Zürich, Paleface Swiss formed in 2017 and have rapidly climbed the ranks of the global heavy music scene with each album and EP. Frontman Marc “Zelli” Zellweger’s commanding vocals, paired with crushing riffs from guitarist Yannick Lehmann, thunderous bass from Tommy Lee, and pummelling drums courtesy of Luigi Paraventi, delivering a sound that blends old-school hardcore brutality with a full array of modern heaviness.
“Paleface Swiss bring the fire and the fury and within seconds of them coming on stage, it’s easy to see why they just get bigger and bigger. Rarely do you get the chance to see a band as explosive as this – existing in the right place, at the right time.” – WhenTheHornBlows.com
“Paleface Swiss have truly set a new baseline for what a band of this genre can achieve in their live delivery. A set that will long live rent-free in my mind. Paleface Swiss will continue to dominate” – Kerry Rowe, Scenestr
