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.”
“Anniversary Of Our Destruction” is available on all major digital outlets worldwide!

THE FAIR ATTEMPTS is a dystopian force in Industrial Rock, crafting anthems for the society we’re unwittingly constructing around ourselves. Founded by Finnish artist and producer Timo Haakana and his wife Starwing, the band merges raw, driving rhythms with haunting melodies—exploring the human condition in a future where technology, control, and alienation intertwine.
At the heart of THE FAIR ATTEMPTS lies a fully realized fictional universe, first imagined in “Dreaming Your Dream,” a novel by Starwing. Each song is an echo from that world—a vision of the society of our current trajectory, amplified through dystopian storytelling and emotionally charged soundscapes. Themes of resistance, identity, and survival run deep, drawing listeners into the shadowy streets, desolate ruins, and hidden sanctuaries of its lore.
THE FAIR ATTEMPTS’ production style balances industrial grit with cinematic atmosphere, creating music that’s visceral and thought-provoking. The future is already here and THE FAIR ATTEMPTS is its soundtrack.
THE FAIR ATTEMPTS is Timo Haakana & Starwing.
