Finnish industrial band, THE FAIR ATTEMPTS welcomes the coming year with a haunting new single, ‘Anniversary of Our Destruction’. Diverging from their usual bombastic fusion of industrial rock and metal, THE FAIR ATTEMPTS founder, Timo Haakana along his wife & lyricist, Starwing step boldly into the realm of gothic dance music, drenched in deep emotion.
’Anniversary Of Our Destruction’ has a very personal story attached to it. As founding member, Timo Haakana explains, “One year, our wedding anniversary was a lovely, romantic day with a twist. So many things broke that day. Together, we laughed about the destruction the day left behind, and thus, that special day became the ‘Anniversary of Our Destruction’”.
The song was also inspired by Timo’s personal trials and the struggle that we all often walk through. Amid disease and hardship, The Fair Attempts found beauty and elegance in how we’ve always held our dignity even during our darkest hours.
The message of ‘Anniversary Of Destruction’ is this; We live through our ruin and walk this path collectively – all of us. It’s dark times. As Timo states, “If I could share a New Year’s message and piece of inspiration in the fashion of The Fair Attempts, it would be this song.”
