De Zwitserse beatdown deathcore band Paleface Swiss heeft hun derde studioalbum “Cursed” aangekondigd en de release gepland op 3 januari 2025. Met deze bekendmaking heeft de band ook een video uitgebracht voor de nieuwe track “Hatred”.
Zanger Marc “Zelli” Zellweger zegt het volgende over de track:
When you’re a kid growing up, you’re happy and you think everything is cool, but nowadays, every time you open your phone, it’s just a flood of negativity. We’re bombarded with so much bad news every day that finding anything positive feels nearly impossible.
‘Hatred’ is us venting our frustration about the things we can’t change. It may not be as deep as the other tracks on the album, but it’s for everyone who’s fed up with the constant negativity in the world. For the music video, we wanted to keep it simple and raw—a no-nonsense, old-school performance video with us going as hard as we can in a room. There are, however, a few easter eggs hidden in there that will make more sense as we release more videos from this album.
Over het album zelf voegt hij toe:
This time we wanted to keep it simple and follow the lead of the big guys, taking the necessary time for it. However, it was still an exhausting process. I’m overjoyed with the result and can’t wait to unleash our first concept album upon the world.
This record is for sure our most personal one so far. We’ve always written about topics like mental health, but we’ve usually written about people who are really close to us. On this record there wasn’t really much space for stories from other people. Between the time when we released “Fear & Dagger “and writing this record, there were periods when this is how we all felt. I’d say 80% of these two years were filled with so much happiness and joy, which I’m really thankful for, but the few dark days that we had ARE this record.
