Following the sell-out success of their 'Cursed Tour' earlier this year, which saw them sell over 60,000 tickets across Europe, UK and North America, Switzerland’s heaviest export, PALEFACE SWISS, have released the digital version of CURSED–The Complete Edition today. To highlight the album's digital release, the band have also dropped brand new single, "I Am A Cursed One", in tribute to their loyal and ever-growing fanbase.
Speaking on the new single, frontman Marc "Zelli" Zellweger shares
“This song is a tribute to you—our incredible fans, the Cursed Ones. It’s meant to wrap you in a feeling of belonging, no matter where you come from or who you are. When you hear it, we hope you feel the power of being part of something bigger. You are one of us. You are one of the Cursed Ones. Together, we’re celebrating our biggest headline tours, this unforgettable year, and the unstoppable spirit of CURSED.”
The new, definitive edition of their chart-topping album, includes additional tracks - "I Am A Cursed One", the three stand-alone singles “Best Before: Death,” “Please End Me,” and “The Gallow" released prior to the album being announced and a haunting acoustic version of “River of Sorrows” feat. Ron Deris—a raw and emotional, unplugged take on their seminal ballad.
When Cursed dropped earlier this year, it tore through expectations - debuting at #17 worldwide on Spotify, #3 in the US, and #1 in the UK - while drawing critical acclaim and amassing millions of streams.
The CURSED legacy continues in full force with major festival appearances across Europe—including Graspop Metal Meeting, Bloodstock (Main Stage), Rock for People, Mystic Festival, Jera On Air, and many more. Later this year, the band will head to Australia for a headline tour followed by a special one-off show in Bangkok, Thailand.

Written and recorded in isolation in the Canary Islands, Cursed was produced by Ron Deris at Misueno Studios, with final touches from longtime collaborator Florent Salfati (Landmvrks). Each song is tied to a symbolic flower, forming a broader conceptual arc built on themes of betrayal, sorrow, rage and resilience. Standouts like “Hatred,” “Love Burns,” and “My Blood On Your Hands” showcased a band willing to evolve—balancing staggering heaviness with emotional depth.
The new material featured on Cursed: The Complete Edition finalises that arc. The brand new, currently unreleased track “I Am A Cursed One” delivers a final, furious statement, while “River Of Sorrows (Unplugged)” offers a rare glimpse of the band putting their vulnerability front and centre, stripped of the usual chaos that surrounds them.
Known for their incomparable live performances and fearless approach to intense and vulnerable topics, Paleface Swiss has built a reputation as one of the most vital, unfiltered, and rapidly rising forces in the world of modern metal today. With Cursed, Paleface Swiss took listeners into their darkest, most intricate, and artistically diverse chapter yet, combining their trademark Nu-Core heaviness with raw vulnerability, a rare and special combination for a band within their genre.
Now, with Cursed: The Complete Edition, an ever-growing army of devoted fans, critical acclaim, sold-out tours across the globe, and multiple stellar festival performances garnering new fans wherever they go, Paleface Swiss continue their unrelenting global takeover.
