RAUNCHY
"Wasteland Discotheque" (Lifeforce; 2008) Reviewed by
Snidermann Raunchy, out of Copenhagen, Denmark, is
one great band with plenty of attitude. Loud and in-your-face, they put their heart on their sleeves
with each and every cut. I don’t know what
they put in the water in that part of the world but you can compare this band with
the likes of Dark Tranquillity, Soilwork and In Flames, just to name a few. If you liked the band's previous material,
you'll like "Wasteland Discotheque" just as well. The music is dark,
loud and full of the attitude that should be on the radar of every person
dedicated to heavy music. For more information, check out http://www.raunchy.dk. "Death
Pop Romance" (Lifeforce; 2006) Reviewed by Mike
SOS Denmark's Raunchy returns with the sextet's third
release: the aggressive, keyboard-heavy 10-track offering, "Death Pop
Romance." And, if you thought these guys were cloning Soilwork and In Flames before, get set for a lot more of that, with chunks of Children of Bodom and the lighter moments of Strapping Young Lad strewn in for good measure. Humungous drums, killer riffs, and a slew of technical programming is what these metal mavens deliver, from the hooky electronic feel of "Live the Myth" to the contagious death march with an absolutely killer breakdown
"Remembrance." While the melodic metal tag seems to be a maligned moniker to place on a band these days, it's quite possibly the best way to describe
this CD's innate yet crushing hybrid charm. For more information, check out http://www.raunchy.dk. Rating Guide: Copyright © 2008 by R. Scott Bolton. All rights

A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
