Biography

Denmark (1994 - )

Raunchy was founded in Denmark, in 1992 by Jesper Tilsted, Jesper Kvist, and Morten Toft Hansen, who start jamming, playing mostly cover from bands like Metallica and Slayer. Lars Vognstrup and Lars Christensen join in 1994, and in 1995 they record their first demo, at Borsing Recordings in Århus. The song “Space Story” from the demo is later released on the compilation CD Extremity Rising vol. 1, a rock compilation from Serious Entertainment. Two demos (and two more Extremity Rising inclusions later) the band finally get their record deal, with Mighty Music’s sub label Drug(s) in 2000. A few months later Raunchy enters the Aabenraa Studio with producer Jacob Hansen to record Velvet Noise. In 2001 the album is released in Scandinavia and is very received by the press. After the release Jeppe Christensen joins the band.

2002 proves to be a crucial year for the band: as the first Danish band ever Raunchy signs a contract with one of the world biggest metal labels, Nuclear Blast Records, who release Velvet Noise is released in Europe. Raunchy plays at the German festival Summerbreeze. They record a cover of Wham!’s “Last Christmas” and a new song called “Decemberklar” for Denmark’s National radio, produced by Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studios. The songs prove to be very popular. Raunchy also performs live in the radio-studio; the performance is taped by Danish Television and broadcast as well. In 2003 the Velvet Noise is released in North America, and in the summer the second album, Confusion Bay, is recorded, again with producer Jacob Hansen.

    No, maybe for you, but the metalcore tag in the first place is very ridiculous.

    I agree. Confusion Bay is one of the best modern metal albums of All Time. (But the other albums are really good too.)

    @WolfieboyMachi - try "Confusion Bay", I think this is the best Raunchy album.

    In my opinion, Raunchy have only gotten better with each album. A Discord Electric is borderline perfect and it makes me wonder if the next album could possibly be better.

    Bad news and I didn't even get the chance to see them live. It's not going to be same with the new singer, Kasper and Lars fit so well for Raunchy.

    It's such a loss that Kasper Thomsen had left the band but I'm eager to listen to something new from them besides Mike Semeski vocals seems promising.

    So, do we have any news on their new album they've been working on? I'm forever listening to Vega Nova (bandcamp them, thank me later) to get my fix in the meantime.
