Swiss beatdown hardcore act Paleface Swiss have stepped into new territory with their latest single “Everything Is Fine”, a brooding power ballad that closes the lead-up to their upcoming EP “The Wilted”, set to arrive on January 2, 2026. The track pulls back from their usual beatdown intensity and leans into a slow, unsettling atmosphere that feels heavy without relying on brute force.
The band describe “The Wilted” as the next chapter in the world they started on their charting album “Cursed”. They wrote the new songs during long touring runs across Europe, the U.S., and Australia. Those months brought chaos, exhaustion, and real moments of growth. As a result, the EP reflects that fragile state between decay and renewal, the place where something broken starts to grow again.
While “Cursed” focused on inner darkness and personal collapse, “The Wilted” looks at what follows. The music aims for a more emotional and cinematic feel, shaped by every rough day on the road. The imagery of fading flowers runs through the entire project. It marks change, loss, and the strange beauty that comes with impermanence. The band say this idea appears in the songs and in every visual choice tied to the EP.
