Raunchy is a Danish metal band that has garnered a reputation for their innovative blend of melodic death metal, metalcore, and industrial elements, creating a sound that's both aggressive and catchy. Formed in the mid-1990s by Lars Vognstrup and Jesper Tilsted, along with childhood friends Jesper Kvist, Morten Toft Hansen, and Jeppe Christensen, the band emerged from the city of Thisted in Northern Denmark. They first broke onto the international scene with their debut album "Velvet Noise" in 2001, which caught the attention of fans and critics alike for its melodic hooks and progressive approach to metal.

Over the years, Raunchy has consistently evolved their sound with each subsequent release, all the while maintaining the core of their melodic metal sensibilities. Albums like "Confusion Bay" (2004) and "Death Pop Romance" (2006) solidified their position in the metal scene, showcasing the band's penchant for rich, layered sounds and anthemic choruses. With "Wasteland Discotheque" (2008) and "A Discord Electric" (2010), they continued to push their boundaries, incorporating electronic elements and clean vocal harmonies. Their latest offering, "Vices.Virtues.Visions." released in 2014, sees Raunchy refining their signature sound further, delivering a powerful mix of thunderous riffing, atmospheric electronics, and memorable melodies that demonstrate the band's capacity for musical innovation and staying power within the genre.
