Hurt

Hurt is the third full-length album from Groundbreaking, released on December 9th, 2016. Hurt was originally marketed as a double album, consisting of Hurt: Alive and Hurt: Dead. Hurt was initially set for a fall release when it was teased on June 17th with a slightly remixed version of Standoff's intro, but was delayed. Hurt is Groundbreaking's longest album, clocking in at almost an hour. Tie-ins for the album included an art and remix contest, as well as giveaways for posters.

CDs and Posters
Before the release of Hurt, Groundbreaking announced he had gotten a P.O. box for fan mail and shipping merch. Pre-orders for Hurt included the first ever official Groundbreaking CDs, as well as posters. Both were signed. The CDs are simple in their design, with no altered artwork. The inside includes a message from Shaun. The posters featued a slightly edited version of the 'GB' from the cover, with more vibrant reds and blues. The CDs were printed in batches of 100, while the posters were only printed in batches of seven.

Art and Remix Contest
As a promotional tie-in, there were art and remix contests. This inspired a large boom in the Discord server population, which had been a mere handful until that point. The art contest had a first, second, and third place prize, with two honorable mentions. The remix contest had a grand prize and runner up. The judges for both were Groundbreaking, Avex and ZeroHarps.

The winning piece of artwork by Liza Sakura was featured with the winning remix by Shadrow in a video shortly before the release of Anarchy II.
