The time has come. RAUNCHY unveils their brand new video “Designed Despair”, off their long-awaited upcoming album “Prisoner”. A crushing blend of mechanized grooves, razor-sharp riffs and haunting atmospheres, “Designed Despair” channels Raunchy’s signature balance between melody and aggression into one of their most intense and thought-provoking tracks to date.
““Designed Despair” sheds light on the arcane mechanisms of systemic oppression and the engineering of invisible borders that divide, confine, and silence”, the band comments about the new song. “Voices rise from the margins only to vanish into a void built to ignore them, as redlined boundaries and hierarchical design trap those hidden in plain sight. Ultimately, this song reflects the reality of a system that creates roads to nowhere, where escape exists only through the narrow cracks of a broken foundation”.
Hailing from Thisted, Denmark, Raunchy have long been a defining force in the Danish metal scene and a standout name across Europe. Since the mid-90s, the band has carved out a distinctive identity by fusing melodic death metal with industrial textures and electronic elements - a forward-thinking approach that helped shape their self-styled “death pop” sound. With a catalogue marked by constant evolution and a strong presence on European stages, Raunchy remain one of Denmark’s most enduring and influential metal exports.
"Designed Despair" is out now on all relevant streaming services.
The new Raunchy album, "Prisoner", will be released later this year. More details will be announced soon.
