Staytus drops “Heart Attack” single today September 4
Los Angeles industrial-electronic artist Staytus release the digital single “Heart Attack” today, September 4, 2025. The track is produced by Sean Beavan, known for his work with Nine Inch Nails and for co-founding 8mm.
“Heart Attack” blends hard-edged industrial textures with a focused vocal hook and a tight runtime (approx. 2:48). Lyrically it addresses disillusionment and severed ties; as Staytus puts it, “Heart Attack is about facing the shattering of illusions… It’s the sound of cutting ties with the figures you once worshipped—whether they’re people, dreams, or versions of yourself—and surviving the emotional wreckage.”
Recent activity from the project includes 2025 singles “Headache” (also produced by Sean Beavan) and entries in the horror-referencing Twisted Frames series (“How To Be A Serial Killer,” produced by Matt McJunkins).
