Denmark’s Raunchy is back with their futuristic hybrid metal on “Wasteland Discotheque”, already the band’s fourth full-length. As soon as “Somewhere Along The Road” bursts out of the speakers it becomes clear that they haven’t changed a thing about their sound. The combination of death and thrash metal with poppy elements and a shitload of synth action is still firmly in place and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Think In Flames and Soilwork with a little of Linkin Park thrown in.
Kasper Thompsen’s screams might start to sound kind of monotonous after a bit, but the combination of brutal parts and extremely melodic parts is executed perfectly and keeps things moving at a swift pace. And when they throw in an excellent cover of Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me” next to excellent own compositions such as “The Bash” or “The Comfort In Leaving”, I’ll even go along with the moronic nickname these guys got (‘Danish Dynamite’)!
Score: 8 out of 10
