Ever since he announced in early 2019 that he was "doing some heavy metal songs" on his new album, we've been patiently waiting for David Hasselhoff to finally share his darker side: and the first taste is here with an intriguing teaser of the single Through The Night.

The Baywatch and Knight Rider legend has been working with Austrian duo CueStack on the single, which – judging by the clip they've just released – will hear The Hoff powerfully yelling, 'Through the night / Through the night forever!' amid a sci-fi-themed accompanying music video.

However, before we get to hear the full thing, a Kickstarter has been launched to properly fund the "cinematic" video, plus a making-of documentary.

"We made a metal song with David Hasselhoff called Through The Night," CueStack explain. "Now we need your support with finishing the epic music video and documentary, head over to our Kickstarter campaign to become an important part of this project today.

"The project started in 2018 and many demos were made, many meetings were held and what seemed like an impossible idea slowly turned into a reality. David finally recorded the track with us, CueStack, in 2019 in Vienna and we also shot a cinematic music video together.

"We 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 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 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!"
