After two promising singles and the anticipation surrounding their long-awaited return, Danish metal innovators RAUNCHY unveil “Darkest Self”, a powerful new glimpse into the upcoming album “Prisoner”. Blending the band's trademark fusion of crushing riffs, cinematic electronics and soaring melodies, the digital single and video dives deep into the psychological scars we carry, exploring the relentless confrontation with memories, regrets and the parts of ourselves we would rather leave behind. As the song unfolds, darkness becomes both the enemy and the catalyst for transformation.

Lyrically, “Darkest Self” captures the painful but necessary process of facing one's inner demons in order to move forward. The track reflects the album’s broader themes of mental captivity, personal struggle and resilience, while showcasing Raunchy’s ability to balance emotional depth with explosive modern metal dynamics. Both intensely personal and universally relatable, “Darkest Self” stands as one of the most compelling and introspective moments from “Prisoner”.

“Prisoner” will be released on LP (gatefold splatter double vinyl, limited to 500 copies), CD and digital formats on 14.08.2026, via Mighty Music. The first 250 orders in Targetshop and Bandcamp will get a free patch. Pre-orders are available here. "Darkest Self" can be streamed via this link.
