After more than a decade of quiet, Danish metal act Raunchy are back. In March 2026, the band announced via social media, "12 years of silence end right here. We've officially signed with Mighty Music. A new chapter begins. New album out this summer."
The forthcoming release marks Raunchy's first studio album in 12 years, recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered by renowned metal producer Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios. The band's current 2026 lineup showcases a mix of founding members and longtime collaborators:
- Jesper Andreas Tilsted – Guitars & Keyboards (1992-present)
- Lars Christensen – Guitars (1992-present)
- Jesper Kvist – Bass (1992-present)
- Morten Toft Hansen – Drums (1992-present)
- Jeppe Christensen – Keyboards & Vocals (2001-present)
- Mike Semensky – Vocals (2013-present)
Mighty Music, which released Raunchy's first two albums — Velvet Noise (2001) and Confusion Bay (2003) — now welcomes the band back to the label as they prepare to deliver a new era of their signature melodic and aggressive sound.
Further details regarding singles, videos, and tour plans will be revealed in the coming months, giving fans their first chance in over a decade to experience Raunchy live and in the studio.
