Hard Look – new album promo: single-by-single first, then the full record.
Hard Look, Christopher Johnson’s project from Texas, has announced a bold release strategy: every song from the upcoming album will be published as an individual single, and once all tracks are out, the full record will follow. This gives fans a steady stream of new music while giving the artist time to polish the material.
Step-by-step single releases
Each single will be treated as a standalone release – with its own spotlight and promotion. Instead of getting the album all at once, fans will join the journey song by song, engaging and reacting along the way.
What does this mean for fans?
Regular doses of new music, more moments to celebrate each release, and a growing sense of anticipation for the full album. The singles-first approach perfectly fits today’s digital listening habits and keeps Hard Look closely connected to its audience.
History of Hard Look
Hard Look is the brainchild of Christopher Johnson, a Texas-based musician who blends Christian deathcore, industrial metal, and experimental elements. Launched in 2019, the project quickly gained recognition on the Christian extreme music scene for its uncompromising heaviness, apocalyptic themes, and faith-driven message. Johnson works as a one-man band in the studio, collaborating with guests for specific tracks and relying on digital platforms like Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube to spread the message.
Over the years, Hard Look has developed a reputation for relentless output, with yearly releases that explore themes of spiritual warfare, hope, tribulation, and redemption. Not only has the project pushed the boundaries of Christian deathcore, but it has also embraced industrial and electronic textures, giving its music a uniquely haunting atmosphere.
