Paleface Swiss bring a starkly physical counterweight to the bill, grounded in what critics often describe as beatdown-influenced deathcore with hardcore and industrial textures. Paleface Swiss’s approach prioritizes immediacy and impact, favoring blunt rhythmic force and confrontational delivery over ornamentation. Their inclusion on this tour reflects a shared emphasis on live intensity rather than stylistic overlap. Recent releases continue to sharpen that identity, focusing on structure and repetition as tools rather than limitations. Touring extensively across Europe and North America, the band have earned a reputation for uncompromising performances and rapid fanbase growth, alongside recognition within the heavy music press. They have also been vocal about mental health advocacy, integrating those conversations into their public presence. Official site: https://palefaceswiss.com
