RAUNCHY new album release

2010-06-15T08:51:00.000+02:00

The modern metal combo RAUNCHY will release their highly anticipated new album A DISCORD ELECTRIC through Lifeforce Records on September 20th in Denmark, October 8th in Germany/ Austria/ Switzerland, October 11th rest of Europe, and on October 12th in the US.

With uncompromising old-school thrash rhythms and potent electro-sounds, combining the hymns of modernity and tradition, A DISCORD ELECTRIC is the perfect metal anthem to the young and hopeless raging in a metropolis or in a redneck town all over the world.

Produced once again by long time friend Jacob Hansen, A DISCORD ELECTRIC, delivers the following 12 songs of pure ecstasy and genre-defining heavy metal music: “Dim the Lights and Run”, “Rumors of Worship”, “Blueprints For Lost Sounds”, “NGHT PRTY”, “Street Emperor”, “Shake Your Grave”, “Tiger Crown”, “Big Truth”, “The Great Depression”, “The Yeah Thing”, “Ire Vampire”, “Gunslingers and Tombstones”.

A short comment from the band:
“This is by far the most experimental, the most challenging, and the most interesting album we have come up with since the beginning of the band. My personal take on this endeavor is quite simple actually: This album will be on the hot list when it comes out! Every member of the band has had the freedom to take things to the limits, above and beyond, and believe me, boundaries are transparent this time around, we’re going totally apeshit, and you’re definitely in for some big surprises with some cool guest performances by our friends in DUNÉ on the song “Big Truth” among other exciting things”, says vocalist Kasper Thomsen.

Stay tuned for artwork previews at the end of june!!!!

take care

Hell´o ED´bangers. Lars here. Just a few reflections on the forthcoming album as everybody in the band are listening to the first test mixes these days - WOW ;-)

First of all I personally cannot wait to the release date of this new album and somehow September feels like years away right now. We´ve recorded 12 tracks for the album and I think we´ve taken our music to a place that I never could have imagined with each member performing their absolutely best ;-)

For a band like RAUNCHY it has always been a "blurry" process from writing and demoing the basic song structures to the actual end result - that´s the beauty of RAUNCHY too. We know what we´re capable of doing as a band and we´ve never had any musical boundaries and this new album may show that we respect so many genres. This may sound a bit "schizophrenic" but don´t despair it´s within the boundaries of RAUNCHY. The new album has taken things to each end of the spectrum with a lot of really cool things going on so we´re excited to get some feedback as we´re truely P.R.O.U.D.

We have some veeeery HEAVY stuff going on with different guitar tunings etc., some fast things in there too, something very groovy and maybe a bit bluesy, all combined with beautiful layering, melodies and very cool vocals.

The overall sound on the album may differ from our previous albums and Jacob Hansen really gives the songs a new and refreshing dimension.

I still need to finish the artwork but it´s going to be as colorful as the 12 tracks that will be on the album.

We have some touring activities coming up in September and in November/December both for Denmark but also around Europe - still too early to make it public yet but stay tuned. The album title will also follow very soon.

Album title

2010-04-01T12:13:00.003+02:00

Hell´o good people. We´re proud to present the title for our fifth album which will see the light of day in september. The album "HEAVY METAL THUNDER" simply is pure mayhem for your soft ears. Imagine superb songwriting that blends Manowar with Duran Duran and hopefully you get the full picture of what to expect. Be prepared for this monster... there´s gonna be a "HEAVY METAL THUNDER" in september.

Day 11

2010-02-18T23:01:00.002+01:00

Mjello,

This is J MouzZ reporting from Rawhide studios.
Today K Dogg and T Bag left the studio to watch curling - after having shouted profanities at some poor microphone all of yesterday and most of today.
I'm still here to bounce stuff back and forth between servers, though, and eat whatever food is left in the fridge.
I'll make sure to keep you guys updated on that.
The situation, as we speak, is that we have leverpostej and salt kød left, but sadly, no karse.

In between eating karse (back when it was there), Jacob and I have been working on some vocals and keyboards. Some of it might even turn out halfway decent :)

For now, this is J MouzZah signing off

Stay tuned for more updates on leverpostej

STUDIO: Day 9

2010-02-16T21:15:00.002+01:00

Hell'o' party people - just a short update from the studio crib. Oh, what a splendid day it has been - with coffee and beer + inspiration (what more can two hard working vocalists ask for?).

Worked on the song "Vipers" again, and now it totally rocks, and we're glad far beyond metal. Worked on choruses all day (oh, what a melodic treat you're in for!) - great stuff in deed. Right now we're chillin' with the Price brothers - great guys! Mashed potatos and butter... well, gotta love it! :-)

Tomorrow waits another day of work. My brother will team up with us once again, and we're gonna work on the songs "Ire Vampire" and "Tiger Crown" + maybe do some more melodic overdubs on a couple of the already done songs. We have a crazy idea for "Vipers", but we don't know how to get a whole stadium crowd to do the response mania - well, we're gonna make it happen anyway. Hell yeah. Like always.

BTW. Some lovely fans have besieged the studio. Now what's up with that? :-)

And today we saw the WOLF! Outside our window, and it's big news. Almost as big as the mouse trying to find its way into our shoes last night. Loved it.

Lesson of the day: "Lady Gaga is the Gaga Lada" (say what?) We've lost it... :-)

First sneak peak

2010-02-16T14:04:00.001+01:00

STUDIO: Day 8

2010-02-15T20:37:00.002+01:00

Oh, what a day! Right now I'm totally exhausted after a hard day of work. It's only me and Jeppe who's in the studio right now and this kind of isolation is good for our creativity. Even though I'm tired as hell, we're still working, hehe... We need to get things done, but we're not rushing anything. Vocals are being spawned by the minute, and it really sounds amazing. Jeppe has been working on "Street emperor" and "Vipers" today, and I've just finished recording "Rumours of worship" and "Applause for the cause" - it's killer with an old school kinda thrash feel to the rough vocals in "applause..." + some new experimental vocal stuff going on in the verses for "Rumours...". We are trying out some very different vocal arrangements this time and I think you're in for a surprise - in a good way! :-) Well, I think I'll finish this blog with a short lyrical part from the song "rumours of worship", just because the lyrics are so freakin' awesome, hehe... :-)

"We are the death of the funeral/ We are the pose on your holiday/ We are the vows at your wedding/ We are the sentiment in between/ We won’t go back to the beginning/ To slit the throats of your fiction/ We are the party of darkness/ We are a newborn sensation/ I want to believe you/ I will do the best I can/ And no one will defy you/ We are the rumours in your worship// We are the words spilled on the page/ We are your rage when you dreamt of age/ We are the party of the big scene/ We are the light in your blackout/ We are your real emptiness/ We were the pleasure of your heat/ We are the love and the obscene/We are the life in the dark street".

Lesson of the day: "Don't eat cheap leverpostej"

All fired up

2010-02-14T12:54:00.002+01:00

Hey what's up. Last night we started to lay down some initial vocals - and WOW what a massive sound! I have already recorded most of the vocal parts in the following songs: "Good Son" (It's an old school brutal song tuned in A with some killer riffs), "The Night Party" (Yeah, it's a party song, hehe...), "Vipers" (King Diamond would be proud), "Street Emperor" (LG would be proud), and a verse idea for "Pull Yourself Together" (Dave Gahan would, nah not really...), so we're progressing with a good feeling I must say... :-) I'm gonna spend the rest of the day listening to the stuff, maybe putting some overdubs here and there, and maybe change a couple of parts too. My brother is the pro-tools master of death, and he's doing a really good job (THANKS!).

Have a great sunday!

Lesson of the day: "Nul huller? Ah, du har da i hvert fald mindst tre!" (citat: gun jack)

Saturdays are made for metal

2010-02-13T13:26:00.003+01:00

Hi everybody, finally getting up after one friday night and a morning rise. Things are still going good, and drums + guitars are all recorded. I think we only need some "here and there" touches on some of the guitar parts, and then we're there! A lot of experimenting is going on as I write this, trying out different sounds to give each song its own identity - it's gonna be cool for sure!

Lars and Jesper left the studio ealier today as they had to attend some business back in Cph. Later today Jeppe will arrive, and tonight I will start putting some vocal tracks down - can't wait to get started! :-) Morten is still here, and he will record some cool percussion stuff in the afternoon, and then he's going to be the chef of the night preparing a nice dinner for us. Some of our friends will come by tonight as well, and the redwine will flow like a river of blood once again! :-)

Until' next time: "Er det dig, der var på orgel? Nej, jeg hedder Lars. Poul, som spiller keyboard, står lige derovre..." - tjaaaaa, ok! :-)

Metal in the morning

2010-02-12T10:50:00.002+01:00

STUDIO: Day 4

2010-02-11T12:10:00.002+01:00

Yo what's up everybody - this is K-dogg checking in. I arrived at the studio last night - awesome vibe here, excellent company. Hope you’re all ready for the weekend? We surely are, and beers and red wine WILL flow, and hopefully I'll get started on some vocals too, cuz I can't wait. You're in for a fucking thrill! This one is for my brothers - and for those three wonderful family members of mine who passed away last year. It was a hard year for all of us. xxx.

We’re still hard at work (Oh, big surprise!) putting together our new SHINY masterpiece. As I wrote earlier this week, we’ve been working on the songs for quite some time now, and it is great to see and hear how things evolve and come together these days.

Morten is still tracking drums by the hour - and it's the hard and fast ones he's working on right now, and there's a lot of technical stuff happening, so he's def. working for the money! Well, he's doing trademark and killer beats already - great stuff in deed!

Both Lars and Jesper T are tracking guitar stuff right beside me, which means that we're working simultaneously in three studios at the same time - o' what a slendid technological world we're living in!

I'm still working on some lyrics and vocal arrangements with Jeppe, and there's some really really cool things happening in those songs I tell ya. The synth ideas are awesome and epic as well, really taking things to the next level.

I’ve been listening to a lot of different music during the whole writing process, music that’s not even metal related, and that has been really inspiring actually. Stuff like Interpol, Kraftwerk, Muse, When Saints Go Machine, Turboweekend, Spleen United, Veto, White Lies, and Ginger Ninja have been spinning frequently on my IPod. It’s always good with a different approach now and then.

Lesson of the day is about ladies: "You can't live with them, and you can't live with them". Peace out.

Woke up 5.30 and couldn´t sleep anymore eventhough yesterday was a rather productive day that ended up on the couch with candy, beers and Iron Maiden "Flight 666" in the dvd player. If you haven´t seen this dvd please pick it up asap. as this might the best documentary movie we´ve seen for a while.

7.30 AM: Jesper and Morten are up and we gather around the table for some yoghourt and some vitamins to set this day off in the best possible way. We watch the news on TV that is the only thing that connects us to the outside world.

8.15 AM: Morten and Jesper are off to the studio to edit drums and track more guitar. I decide to go for a fresh little morning trip out in the beautiful morning snow as I will be tracking guitar later on today.

9.30 AM: Back from an amazing walk out in the deserted landscape around the studio - sometimes you really miss places outside civilization.

10 AM: After a quick shower i´m now back in the studio dying to get a nice warm cup of coffee - ahhhh what a relief. Morten and Hansi are listening to various drumparts and things are runnnig smoothly and we´re progressing. Jesper is doing good :-)

11 AM: Time for a small lunch, some quick stories and more coffee .. this time with milk for change ;-)

11.30 AM: Trying out various guitar again and maybe we´ll end up using a hollowbody Duesenberg with Bigsby for small parts here and there as this guitar could bring a cool sound and atmosphere to certain parts - we´ll see. For the moment we´re tracking guitar on our new Jackson guitars that sound absolutely great. I think we will be using various guitars this time around to give the individual song it´s own identity.

12. AM: Today´s lesson comes from Morten as he tells us about a new crazy computervirus "Postcard from Hallmark" that should be pretty harmfull and one of the most devastating viruses for a long time. - so avoid this is the message from Mr. Morty.

1 PM: Time for coffee and a banana while listening to drums. The drumsound is KILLER... the snare drum really has a prefect tone .... maybe it´s because Morten hits like a small girl that weighs 250 kilos - I guess so ;-)

1.15 PM: Fired up and ready to go ...Morten is behind the drumkit beating the hell out of his drums.

2 PM: Drums for the fifth song are ready.

2.30 PM: Hansi has to leave the studio as his daughter is sick and I have the honour of sitting in the magic "big-shot-producer-chair" to record Morten´s drums. After adjusting a few buttons we get the sound 110% right with my super ears. HA HA

3 PM: Hansi is back and totally psyched about the super sound changes i´ve made. Yep... even an ol´ fart can learn new tricks :-)

3.15 PM: Time for some shopping. Off I go to the local grocery store driving Morten´s old Porche 911 to buy some food, liquor, beers and stuff. Tonight we´re going to eat a proper meal instead of Pizza and Pøls´mix - our ugly mugs are turning grey by eating that kind of "delicious" food.

4 PM: Jeppe (assistant) is up for helping us through the night while both Jesper and I are tracking guitars.

6 PM: Time for dinner - today with vegetables (peas) and off course BEEEEERRRR

7 PM: We´re at work again... and everybody are focusing on their thing.

What’s up everybody, this is Kasper checking in from the Hansen studio on the west coast of good ol’ Jutland (nah, I'm actually still in Copenhagen until wednesday, hehe, then I'm off for some metal action in the studio - can't wait!).

We’ve been working on this album during the last twelve months, I think, and it sure feels good finally to get the actual recordings started - and we're on fire once again! Mr. Toft Hansen is tracking drums this week, and he’s in good shape and ready to fucking kick ass. He actually nailed four tracks today - good job!

We’re recording twelve songs with the following working titles: “Pull Yourself Together”, “Tiger Crown”, “Applause for the Cause”, “Good Son”, “The Night Party”, “Street Emperor”, “Dim the Lights and Run”, “Ire Vampire”, “Vipers”, “Rumours of Worship”, “These are Dangerous Times”, and "Big Truth". We’re not gonna reveal the album title today, but it’s a cool one, I can tell you that, hehe…

I think we’re exploring new territories, both musically and lyrically, with this record, but of course we're still keeping it very melodic, electro-oriented with an old school metal approach, just as you all know it - and hopefully likes it!

We’re in the studio for the rest of February and some of March too, and the album will be released in June through Lifeforce Records.

We’ll keep you updated as we progress on this Endeavour, so please check back on a regular basis for video clips, funny stuff, interviews and other small things. Thank you so much for all your support.

STUDIO: Day 1

2010-02-08T19:12:00.001+01:00

Hey hey hey kids

Here is an update from Morten and Lars on the first day at Hansen Studios in Riiiiiive, Denmark.

9 AM: Met up with good ol´ Hansi at the studio and started unloading our gear. (He still looks good that ol´ fart)

9.30 AM: Had a cup of coffee, joking and telling funny stories.

10 AM: Morten, started setting up his drums. "Oh my fucking God I forgot how huge those toms are - I need a stairway to do my tom fills" ... see pictures later!!! Morten has decided to record on his old TAMA Art Star which has been used on "Confusion Bay" "Death Pop Romance" & "Wasteland Discotheque" (...why change a good set-up!!) Jesper Tilsted is already on fire in studio 2 tracking some guitar.

10.15-10.30 AM: Hansi did drumssound – he ruled it today ;-) After checking the drumsound we decided to change drum heads from EVANS "coated" to "clear" heads – what a difference.

10.30 AM: Had lunch with "Snaps" and beer.

11.20 AM: Had some more coffee.

11.30 AM: Did a quick guitar sound for a cue-guitar.

11.45 AM. Coffee break.

12.00 AM: First song (a rather simple, über-melodic and poppy song) are nailed pretty fast with everybody smiling.

13.00 AM: Second track is up. This one is a heavy heavy bastard but once again pretty melodic and tuned down to A. Somehow things are running pretty good and we really seem to get things in order pretty fast.

14.00 AM: Time for some food and nothing´s better than a good old "Leverpostejsmad" a banana and a cup of coffee.

14.20 AM: Third track (fast, heavy and epic) are nailed in just a few takes and the old geezer (Morten) is on fire (and coffee) - goood job once again.

15.20 AM: Fourth track (punk/hardcore meets Genesis ...wft???? ) Eventhough this is a pretty up-tempo track with a lot of different things going on. We succesfully nail this in no time. We are lucky today and we cross our fingers and hope this "luck" will continue the next weeks.

17.00 AM: Jeppe (Hansi´s assistant) makes his way to the studio as Hansi probably is going home for some "Aspagerssuppe" – we guess.

17.30 AM: While writing this and consuming a few beers Morten and Jeppe are listening to the recorded drumtakes.

19.00 AM: With Jesper still tracking stuff in Studio 2 Morten and I decide to drive Gunjacks big "fuck-off"-truck around the neighborhood (with the BodyCount classic: "There goes the neighborhood") blasting from the truck-speakers. MISSION: To find some food and maybe a few beers...

... pictures and more studio updates later tonight.

...to all the people who came to the show last friday in Pumpehuset, Copenhagen - you made this a very special night to remember. Also a big shout out and a "ME ME ME" to our former singer Lars Vognstrup who did guestvocals on "Watch Out" ...good times :-)

With the last show for 2009 being played in Pumpehuset, we now return to the rehearsal room in order to focus 100% on the fifth album which will see the light of day around june 2010. We will enter Jacob Hansen´s studio (once again) in february so we will be working hard to be as prepared as possible. We will try to upload some small video clips from time to time as there might be some hungry "RAUNCHY-heads" out there who want to see some action from our pre-production.

As we had a "SALE" on our merch in Pumpehuset we´re now totally SOLD OUT but don´t despair we will team up with www.targetshop.dk with new designs ready to order worldwide - more info later.

Don´t forget to join us on our new Twitter and Facebook pages.

Rehearsing the new songs for the upcoming album are going G-R-E-A-T. Still too early to say anything about the overall result but we´re really trying to optimize everything and make sure that every part, detail, break, fill and cool additions sound as killer as possible. As always we have a good doze of melody and that´s even without any vocals, synth or samples as we speak - so things can only get even better as soon as we start adding these things. This week we´ll start demoing some of Kasper´s vocal ideas... pics and video will be up!!!!

Rehearsal has started...

2009-09-29T21:08:00.004+02:00

Today we had our first rehearsal for the upcoming album and it sure feels good to be playing new stuff :-) Until we will hit the studio we will be rehearsing a lot to sharpen the blades in order to make a killer record. Videos and pictues will find it's way once in a while - stay tuned!!!

Chinese tour update..
Hey Friends!
Morten here (the drummer) with a small tour update. Right now we are at a tattoo parlor were Lars "many beers" is under the needle...
So far everything has been great. The Chinese people are very friendly and hungry to see metal shows. The gear we have played on have been fine :) Our sound engineer managed to destroy 2 PA systems thou'...
Tomorrow we will play our last show here in Beijing. We were supposed to open up for Soilwork, but unfortunatly Soilwork had to cancel their Chinese tour since they didn't get visas. That sucks since Soilwork is actually one of the bands that we all like a lot and it would have been killer to play with them. Hopefully lot's of people will come to show anyway... Instead, RAUNCHY will be headlining the show :)
Today we saw the forbidden city and we have also been at the Great Wall. Awesome!!!!
The Schecter guys and Painkiller guys have been such great hosts. We wanna thank them for all that they have done for us!!! A special thanks goes out to "Bob", Flaming (Flemming) and Yang!! Ni hau det' fee'. And of course Martin of ROSA :)

See ya guys and remember our Release party at Lades in Copenhagen on the 14th. of June.

Cheers

You look white. Can I take a picture with you?

2008-05-03T03:48:00.004+02:00

Well,

10 am local time. In a few hours we're going to a venue in the artsy fartsy district of Beijing. We're playing with a Swedish band called Karin Park (http://www.myspace.com/karinpark) who've been kind enough to take us in, as our scheduled gigs started disappearing like good taste at a metal show.

Yesterday we played at Midi School of Rock. It was a great show in a very small venue. People we're actually hanging out from the windows of the room. Maybe they we're trying to get away... Originally that gig was supposed to be at the midi festival, but when the festival got cancelled by the Chinese government, this replacement show on a small music school in the outskirts of Beijing was arranged.
Fun fact: When we first arrived to the aiport, Yang (one of the many nice locals helping us out) told us that this replacement gig had been canceled because of a virus outbreak in another part of China and a horrible train wreck. But then, all of a sudden, thursday, we we're told it was back on friday.

Well, gotta go dig up a cup of coffee. Maybe one of the other guys will check in later. Maybe not.

Just checking in here from Beijing, China. Arrived a few days ago after a long but great trip (thank you Red Wine and Beer) We´re living in the center of Beijing and the hotel is fine eventhough Morten and and Jesper K´s room smeels like an old cigar factory.

In about an hour we're going to Beijing School of Rock to play. We'll try to update this blog one of the next days.

Thank God for diarrhea pills.

A short update!

2008-03-18T16:41:00.004+01:00

Hey folks,

Seems like the forum activity have increased a bit since we announced the tracklist, hahaha...
That's cool, keep 'em coming! :-)

The cover song is in the tracklist, and it's called "Somebody's watching me", and we can honestly tell you that none of the forum dudes have guessed it right yet! The song with the guest feature is called "A heavy burden" and the guest is a dane, who right now is playing in a canine-related band, which btw. is not playing metal music at all! Curious? Bet you are, but more will follow shortly! :-)

Stay tuned and keep guessing in the forum
- it's friggin' awesome! :-)

The dudes

Tracklist revealed!

2008-03-10T18:21:00.003+01:00

Hey friends!

Well, we're still alive though yesterday's photoshoot nearly killed us all - damn, it was friggin' friggin' friggin' freezing cold! Seriously. Hahaha... :-) Well, here's the track list, friends... They might not be in the right running order yet, but we're getting close. Just listened to some of the mixes on my stereo, and those drums are pounding the chest like a fucking hammer, and it's not even mastered yet! This shit is turning out super heavy, friends! :-)

1. This Blackout is Your Apocalypse
2. Somewhere Along the Road
3. The Bash
4. Wasteland Discotheque
5. Straight to Hell
6. Welcome the Storm
7. Warriors
8. Somebody's Watching Me
9. A Heavy Burden
10. To the Lighthouse
11. Showdown Recovery
12. The Comfort in Leaving

Photosession today and a Jacob comment on the new album

2008-03-09T12:37:00.003+01:00

Hey folks!

Hope you're enjoying the sunday. We're off for the official photo session for the new album within the hour, and we're looking good - gangsta style, hehehe... :-) Our friend and producer Jacob have giving the following comment regarding our new and coming shit: "I've been working hard on completing Raunchy's mix of their coming album "Wasteland Discoteque", and it's still not 100% finished. It will be, though, in the coming few days. It sounds very massive! Crammed with Raunchy's trademark catchy melodies and inspiring beats." - yes sir, it's sounding sublime in deed.

Kasper

Friday nights are the best!

2008-02-29T21:28:00.003+01:00

Hey everybody!

This is Kasper checking in once again - wooooohooooooo, the vodka shots have seriously kicked in, hahahaha... and I'm off later to hang with my lady and her girlfriends (nahh, that didn't come out the right way, hahaha) at a smartenheimer (to the english: a fancy FANCY place) club in Copenhagen called Ideal bar... Well, new mixes of songs are coming in on a daily basis and it sounds SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH, wicked, evil, creamy and everything you fucking want to hear! Hahahaha, nah you have to decide and judge, my friends! But I'm confident that it's gonna turn out as a fucking brilliant album, very rough and dirty with all the RAUNCHY elements, we're known for! (Damn, I'm drunk right now... The lesson is: ALWAYS try!) AND there's gonna be a big surprise guest performance as well, and I can tell you it's super cool! You're gonna be stunned (hopefully) - lyrics goes like this: "Track through the city/ feel fat lies below/ when I'm with you/ streets are fields/ where flowers grow" - take a wild guess, my friends!

Have a nice evening and take care of each other - deal? :-)

Much love,

Kasper

Mixing process started!

2008-02-26T15:13:00.002+01:00

Hey folks,

Well, what to say, received the first early mix last night, and... HELL YES! :-) It sounds so sweet and crystal clear, so we're pretty excited about the whole thing now and waiting patiently for the final result... To me it sounds like a classic raunchy album in the vein of "Confusion bay" combined with the more heavier stuff of "Death Pop Romance" - but there are some surprises as well! Can't wait for you to hear the stuff! Still need to do some few vocal overdubs here and there though + a couple of changes and then we're good to go! :-) If I get the time for it, I will probably announce the final song titles tomorrow, but let's see what happens, right?

The best,

Kasper

Tid tager ting: historien om Lone Tertz og Kvint Eastwood

2008-02-23T15:45:00.002+01:00

Hey folks!

Just a little update from the wasteland. Finished my vocals last night (98%, I guess), worked from 16pm to 2am in the morning, fucked myself up in the vocal booth (check picture, hahaha), but it was worth it! :-) Things sound awesome, a bit more original than I thought it would turn out, but still it's hard to judge yet - we need the whole mixing process to decide, hehehe... :-) Right now Jeppe is working on some more vocals (adding the famous cream cheese to the songs), and it sounds sweet! This time around I've tracked my vocals together with one of my best friends, Flemming C. Lund, and my brother Søren. Next week I'm (maybe) gonna fix some stuff together with Jacob if it needs, but I feel confident (read: scared, hehe...). Nah, it's gonna rip for sure! :-)

We're gonna party tonight! :-)

2008-02-20T16:48:00.002+01:00

hey everybody - this is Kasper with a message to ya'll. Things are going really great at the moment, and we're really excited about how things are turning out. I've recorded nine songs, and I'm gonna record the last two tonight (hopefully). Then I'm gonna rest my voice on thursday, and then I'll finish up what needs to be fixed in the weekend. I've expanded my vocal range since last time, which really suits the atmosphere and sound of the songs, so there's plenty of variation in the mix (from death growls, to high pitch screaming, to low clean vocals, to regular screaming, to hardcore-yelling, to rock 'n' roll singing). Jeppe's vocals really sound amazing as well, and he has some really interesting ideas going on, which is friggin' coolio! :-) Well, I'm about to beging within the hour, so I'm off now! Take care everybody! :-)Cheers! The pirat

So it's on, haha! Nailed some songs last night, sounded interesting, I guess, can't remember that much, cuz we were flirting with disaster, hehehe... Nah, not really, just got pretty wasted from the all the alcohol that Flemming from The Arcane order brought with him when he came by to visit us. As a matter of fact we all perished under the attack of the good old Jaegermeister, the Ballantines, the red wine, the beers, the gin and tonic, the crack, the jack and the whole lotta rosie! And Flemming, indeed (HAHAHAHAHA), visited his old friend THE TOILET (Pictures have been censored for the cause of the good, hehehehehehe), but we all had a mighty fine Saturday night! :-) Today we're pretty much just hungover, but we're still working. It's cool. Just went by the local diner where we ate like real men - check the pictures. Untill next time - have fun! :-)

Fuck yeah, it's saturday!

2008-02-16T14:48:00.003+01:00

Hey folks! Hope you're enjoying your Saturday as much as we're doing right now! To get down to business, things are clicking well in the studio. Tonight I'm gonna start recording some vocals, can't wait to tear it up, hehe... Everybody is hard at work, trying to do their best - it's awesome!

Cheers!

Order of the day

2008-02-15T20:52:00.021+01:00

Ok time for some updates. Damn we´re productive these days - yup... today Jesper started driving speedway (that means playing bass - HA HA) and so far 3 songs are done from his fingers. Guitars are done - YES YES YES. HUZA (jeppe) is playing around with various sounds for synth and also some vocals ideas are planned. Jesper T. is the man behind sharpening the edges concerning guitar editing and he is doing a great job. Morten and Jacob have been listening to drums all day and it´s coming together great. I´ve been re-amping some rythm guitars as well as we did set up a killer badass guitar sound this morning. We´ve used Mesa Boogie and Peavey together with our Schecter guitars and it sounds fierce. Just had a nice meal with some red wine and we´re now drinking but however still working :-) Guitar hero 3 is next up and I guess tomorrow will start with hangovers. Kasper aka. "Koffi ON FIRE" will be here tomorrow morning. A few pics. has made it´s way into cyberspace.

cheers

A message from Kasper

2008-02-13T16:51:00.004+01:00

"Hey there friends! This is Kasper transmitting some great, great news from my home studio (maybe whatever). Talked to the guys this afternoon, and everything is going smooth (operator) in the studio together with Jacob. Morten have finished tracking his drums (awesome work indeed) and Lars and Jesper are deep into the guitar work as well. I seriously can't wait to get started on this record together with Jeppe – I know we're gonna destroy this time around. The demo ideas for the vocal work rip for sure, and this time it's all about performing in the studio, which is a good thing! But there is of course still room for being creative and stuff like that, which is also a good thing! Well, to get down to business, I'm here to reveal the album title for you guys and girls, yes, you're goddamn right! We figured there was no sense in holding back the great news, so here we go. Our fourth album will be known as "Wasteland Discotheque". That's the album title, and we hope you'll like it as much as we do. Lars' artwork is stunning as hell, very original and not the usual metal artwork you'll see these days, but still in the tradition of what we're all about and known for, hence the album title too. Well, it's time for me to get back for rehearsals and finish up today's work. Tomorrow it's Valentine's Day, so remember your loved ones. It's important. Always.

Until' next time - XXX

Another "HEY HO HEY" from the camp

2008-02-12T22:00:00.000+01:00

Back after a well-deserved meal (Pølsemix/Carrywurst that is - HA HAAAAAAAAAAA) ;-) Yeah... once again we had this wonderful exotic dinner and Jesper and I decided to jump back into the the B-studio again to nail even more guitar. Right now Jesper is tracking some lead-melodic guitar stuff and it´s going greeeeat. Things are progressing as planned and we feel that this new record is going to rip. Jacob Hansen (producer) has stated: "Judging from a small glimpse of what to come, I think this is like a mixture between "Confusion Bay" (one of my all-time fave albums in metal) and the aforementioned "Death Pop Romance". Ergo: great friggin' material!" - Cool words from a cool guy ;-)

We have 12 tracks ready for the album and 1 song is a cover song which will end up great I promise... more info on that later. Album title is ready and this will be revealed later this week. I´m also preparing the artwork and the packaging design for the album so this is a very creative month in RAUNCHY with everybody doing their best to make this a great record.

Both Jesper Kvist, Jeppe and Kasper will join us during thursday/friday so bass, vocals, synth, samples etc. will start at the end of this week. Over and out

RAUNCHY in the studio 2008 (Video 1)

2008-02-12T21:01:00.001+01:00

studio shit...

2008-02-12T19:00:00.000+01:00

Monday the 11th., The first day in the Studio:

We spent most of the day with making drum sound. I nailed 2 songs and then Hansen had to leave early (which was alright cuz he showed up late).
This time I play with one bassdrum and 14" 16" and 18" toms, so hopefully the drumsound will be pretty solid when it's all done.
Jesper and Lars nailed rythm guitar for 2 songs, they track guitar themselves in studio B. After that, we just played Guitar Hero 3.

Tuesday the 12 th.

Hey ho hey folks

After a 3 hour ride from Copenhagen to Jacob Hansen Studio, Jesper Tilsted and myself finally made it to Hviding in the middle of nowhere. Well of course we´re familiar to this plade since we´ve been here for both the Confusion Bay and Death Pop Romance albums and now to record this new album number 4. We have an album title ready and we´ll reveal this later this week too. Morten (drums) picked our ugly mugs up at the station as we had guitars and other stuff on our backs. Now we´re playing Guitar Hero 3 and eating "pølsemix" - YES it´s so nice finally going to record this new monster. Tommorrow at 9 Morten will start recording the drums and Jesper and I will tracks some guitar too. Well back to the beers and Guitar Hero - more studio reports coming your way.

Hail satan and Dream Evil ;-)
