  Harmonic Disruptor is the fifth studio album by American electronic rock band Julien-K, released on April 17, 2020.
  
  ## Background
  
  The album was first announced in June 2018 via Facebook. Like the band's previous four releases, an Indiegogo campaign was launched in order to finance the album. It started on June 12, 2018, and aimed for a goal of $10,000; when the campaign ended on July 12 more than $47,000 had been collected.
  
  The album's first single, "Harmonic Disruptor", was released on January 24, 2020 along with its lyric video. On February 14 a music video for "Shut Down Your Soul" was released (while the digital single was published two weeks after), while the third single "Stronger Without You" was premiered on March 20.
