David Hasselhoff has recorded a metal song.
Yes, that David Hasselhoff.
The song is called “Through the Night” and it’s a collaboration with the Australian metal duo CueStack.
And we can only assume that the royalty checks from “Baywatch” aren’t what they use to be, given that Hasselhoff and Co. apparently need your help to pay for the video for the song.
Of course, making a music video befitting “The Hoff” is expensive. Hence, CueStack has started a Kickstarter campaign to help finance the project — as well as an accompanying “making-of” documentary.
The campaign hopes to raise $7,092 — so, well, we guess making the video (and the documentary) isn’t quite as expensive as we assumed. At last check, the Kickstarter campaign had raised over $2,100.
“We, CueStack, financed the entire project by ourselves until now, to avoid giving up any creative freedom when it comes to the song and music video,” the band writes on the Kickstarter page. “The final mission: finishing the edit of the cinematic video that will accompany the song! With a limited budget and schedule, we had to shoot the entire video with David in just one day. That means we had to build much smaller versions of the sets than we actually had in mind.
“To turn this dystopian retro sci-fi/cyberpunk vision into reality, a massive post-production effort is needed now, to extend these basic sets into cinematic, futuristic, living worlds!”
CueStack and Hasselhoff recorded the song and video in 2019 in Vienna.
