Listen to Final Stair’s intimate single on mental health

Rock outfit Final Stair have dropped a new track which boldly dives into the realities of mental health and the inner-self.

Speaking on their new track Headgames, the band explain the meaning behind the new single: “Istvan, the band's singer, fell into a severe life crisis a few years ago and suffered from extreme panic attacks and an intense anxiety disorder that took complete control of his body, soul and everyday life. He was guided only by the fear of fear. This vicious circle ended in alcohol and depression and in mind games that made him a helpless person. He developed into a small, helpless boy who could no longer cope with his life.

“This song tells the story of this disease on the one hand, but also contains the strength to overcome it and to learn to live with it. With this song, the band wants to draw attention to the fact that there are many people among us who suffer from depression and similar illnesses. With "Headgames" they want to say: you are not alone!”

Headgames follows the band’s previous Middle Ages-inspired single Back To Throne. The Berlin band have now released six tracks from their debut album, Hope, which is set for release on September 16 this year.
