RAUNCHY To Utilize Stand-In Singer For Chinese Dates

April 16, 2008

Danish modern metallers RAUNCHY have issued the following update:

"The [new RAUNCHY] album ['Wasteland Discotheque'] will see the light of day on June 16 exclusively for Denmark (...watch out for a release party on June 14 at Lades in Copenhagen). European release will be June 30 and a U.S. release will be July 7.

"From April 28 to May 10 we will be in China to play five shows which will be absolutely awesome. Unfortunately Kasper [Thomsen; vocals] cannot be a part of this due to unforseen work. Kasper is truly and deeply sorry he's going to sit out these dates. So who's going do stand-in for Kasper? We've asked a good friend named Morten Kruger. Kruger is the mainman screaming his lungs out in the Danish metal act MEVADIO (go check 'em out Mevadio.com gooood stuff).

"A video for 'Phantoms' off the 'Death Pop Romance' album was filmed at the sold-out show on December 2, 2007 at Store Vega, Copenhagen Denmark and will soon be ready for viewing."

The cover artwork for "Wasteland Discotheque", can be viewed at this location. The CD will feature the following track listing:

01. This Blackout is Your Apocalypse (intro)
02. Somewhere Along the Road
03. The Bash
04. Warriors
05. Straight to Hell
06. Welcome the Storm
07. Wasteland Discotheque
08. Somebody's Watching Me
09. A Heavy Burden
10. To the Lighthouse
11. Showdown Recovery
12. The Comfort in Leaving

Thomsen previously described the new material as "dirty, melodic, thrashy, epic, melancholic and... drum roll... heavy. We are experimenting a lot this time around, with vocals, arrangements and musical expression, but we're not gonna change radically don't worry! But as a wise man once said: there's no point in writing the same record twice, right?"

RAUNCHY's last album, "Death Pop Romance", was released in 2006 through Lifeforce Records.

The band split with Nuclear Blast Records in January 2005 after releasing two albums through the label (2002's "Velvet Noise" and 2004's "Confusion Bay").
