Raunchy
Death Pop Romance
Lifeforce Records
Grade: A-
Death Pop Romance is a terrific metal record from a horribly named band. You can cut them some slack as Raunchy hail from Denmark and maybe the name doesn’t translate as well. Regardless, the ten songs on their third full-length Death Pop Romance are a near flawless welding of ripping death metal and melodic hardcore; something numerous young American bands attempt but often never achieve. The record isn’t perfect, but Raunchy throws out enough hooks to grab fans from all walks of heavy music and metal. The bigger question is why hasn’t Raunchy totally demolished the metal scene via such tours as Ozzfest? The band has been around since the mid-90s and released two previous full-lengths on Nuclear Blast, but why aren’t they obscenely huge? With the support of Lifeforce, Raunchy should make serious headway thanks to Death Pop Romance.
