Raunchy Premiere New Music Video For "Designed Despair"

Raunchy have now released an official music video for “Designed Despair,” following the debut of the single this past April. The track serves as the first preview of “Prisoner,” the Danish industrial groove metal band’s long-awaited comeback album—their first new full-length since 2014.

The band are targeting a summer release for the record through Mighty Music, with recording sessions having taken place alongside producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, The Black Dahlia Murder).

Speaking on the inspiration behind the song, the band stated:

“‘Designed Despair‘ sheds light on the arcane mechanisms of systemic oppression and the engineering of invisible borders that divide, confine, and silence. Voices rise from the margins only to vanish into a void built to ignore them, as redlined boundaries and hierarchical design trap those hidden in plain sight. Ultimately, this song reflects the reality of a system that creates roads to nowhere, where escape exists only through the narrow cracks of a broken foundation.”
