Paleskin - Euphoric End (2025) Hi-Res

Paleskin's 2025 album, Euphoric End, is the Swedish alternative act's second full-length release, described as a "visceral, emotional dive into the extremes of love and longing" by the Out of Line Shop. The album blends alternative rock, emo, shoegaze, and modern post-hardcore, aiming to create a sound that is both haunting and dreamlike. Paleskin's vocal approach, which combines melodic clean vocals with powerful screaming, is noted as reminiscent of bands like Loathe, Deafheaven, or Sleep Token, while still forging their own soundscape.

MoreCore.de describes Euphoric End as "brimming with alternative, metalcore, and above all, melancholic sounds." The review notes that despite the abundance of tracks, most quickly make an impact, with Paleskin wasting no time in presenting their aggressive and melancholic lyrics, which span both critical socio-political and personal themes. However, MoreCore.de also suggests that while the songs are presented with impact, they "hardly leave room for a deeper effect," and lack a specific moment that creates a lasting impression. Each song on the album is said to tell a different chapter of a "bittersweet romance," where euphoria and despair converge.
