Paleface Swiss – announce new EP and drop video for ‘Let Me Sleep’

After surprise releasing their collaboration single ‘Instrument Of War (Ft. Stick To Your Guns)’, Switzerland’s unstoppable heavy export PALEFACE SWISS are back with another neck-breaking track: ‘Let Me Sleep’. The new single marks the official announcement of their upcoming EP “The Wilted,” set for release on 2nd January 2026 — a continuation of the haunting world the band established with their charting album “Cursed.” ‘Let Me Sleep‘ dives into a darker, more psychological corner of the Zelliverse, capturing frontman Zelli’s struggle with insomnia and inner fear.

“Do you know the feeling when you want to sleep but your head doesn’t allow it — maybe because you fear your dreams? Or do my dreams fear me?” Zelli reflects. “Sleep is so important to me, but sometimes my mind just won’t let me.”

Musically, ‘Let Me Sleep‘ delivers everything fans have come to expect from PALEFACE SWISS, relentless breakdowns, haunting atmosphere, and emotional weight — while visually, the band once again raises the bar. The accompanying Slender Man / Hellraiser-inspired music video blurs the line between nightmare and reality, solidifying their reputation for cinematic storytelling. With “The Wilted EP”, PALEFACE SWISS continue to take the “Cursed” universe into new emotional depths, a story of decay, fear, and fragile rebirth with 4 completely brand new songs.

After a huge year with over 60,000 tickets sold globally and major metal festival appearance and the release of CURSED, PALEFACE SWISS return in 2026 with their biggest European tour to date—teaming up with hardcore icons Stick To Your Guns and genre-bending powerhouse Static Dress. The tour kicks off on 12th January 2026 in Dublin and wraps up with a massive final show on 7th February at Halle 622 in Zurich (CH)—marking PALEFACE‘s largest Swiss headline show ever.
