Chapter 3: The Last Selection is the debut studio album by Swiss beatdown hardcore band Paleface Swiss (at the time under the name Paleface), released on 30 October 2020 through Blood Blast Distribution.[1] It followed the EPs Chapter 1: From the Gallows (2018) and Chapter 2: Witch King (2019).[2]

Background and promotion

[edit]

The first single, "Curse Us," was released on 6 September 2020; it was followed by "The Rats," released shortly before the album's release, on 2 October 2020. Later, a music video for the single "Lights Out" was released, on 4 June 2021.[3][4] The record was seen as versatile, having integrated slam and death metal into the beatdown within an apocalyptic setting.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

V13 gave the album a positive review, describing it as a blend of visceral deathcore and the brutal atmosphere of early Slipknot.[1] Ox-Fanzine highlighted the album's excellent production and the variety the record manages to provide with blast beats, groove sections, and tempo changes.[5]

Beatdown ist nicht unbedingt ein Genre, das für Innovation bekannt ist. PALEFACE aus der Schweiz machen dafür auf ihrem ersten Album vieles richtig, indem sie eine ordentliche Prise Slam und Death Metal in ihre Musik integrieren. […] Auch wenn man es kaum glauben mag, die Songs lassen sich gut voneinander unterscheiden. […] mit Blastbeats, Groove-orientierten Parts und […] Tempowechseln für genügend Abwechslung zu sorgen.
