On Thursday, March 2nd, Switzerland's finest metal purveyors of brutality, PALEFACE SWISS, dropped a brand new stand-alone single Best Before: Death. This is their first brand new single in over a year after releasing the 2022 full-length album, Fear & Dagger, which shot the band into the upper echelons of the "deathcore renaissance" and in celebration of the band's first ever US tour, which kicked off in West Palm, FL with Bodysnatcher, Angelmaker, and Distant.

“The song is about the expiry date of us humans and how we as people get closer to that date with every breath we take, with every addiction, greed, hate, over-working, etc.

You could say we are made to be used before our death. In essence, the human becomes useful after their death.

We don’t have much longer because: the world is fucked, the people are fucked and our lives are fucked.”

— Speaking on his band's latest release, frontman Marc 'Zelli' Zellweger shares

“A few year’s ago, me, the little swiss boy Zelli decided that I wanted to form a band with my friends. Over the years, we have luckily gained a lot of attention from heavy music fans in the US. Now, after long months and years of preparing, it is finally time for the four boys from Switzerland to head over to the states not just for our first us tour but also to make one of the biggest dreams we have as a band come true.

We are obviously extremely exited to finally give back to our US fans who have supported us so much and so constantly over the years! Something they deserve. We have a lot of respect and we’re honestly a little bit nervous but we can’t wait to finally rock through the whole country with an AMAZING line up and a nearly sold out tour! See you in the pit!”

— Speaking on his excitement for the upcoming trek, Zelli continues
