Razia’s Shadow: A Musical
As the title suggests “Razia’s Shadow” is a musical and it’s fucking brilliant. It’s a bit different though, because it’s made by a rock band called Forgive Durden and they’ve managed to get a hold of some amazing guest stars. As with most musicals it features a number of characters (each guest star playing a different character):
O The Scientist - Casey Crescenzo (The Dear Hunter)
Bawaba Brothers - John Baldwin Gourley (Portugal. The Man), Kris Anaya (An Angle)
Narrator - Aaron Weiss (mewithoutYou)
Gargul The Oracle - Danny Stevens (The Audition)
Toba the Tura - Chris Conley (Saves the Day)
Sangara - Daniel Young (This Providence)
Barayas the Spider - Max Bemis (Say Anything)
Princess Anhura - Greta Salpeter (The Hush Sound)
Pallis - Brendon Urie (Panic at the Disco)
King Malka - Nic Newsham (Gatsbys American Dream)
Doctor Dumaya - Shawn Harris (The Matches)
Nidria - Lizzie Huffman (Man in the Blue Van)
Adakias - Thomas Dutton (Forgive Durden)
Ahrima - Thomas Dutton (Forgive Durden)
10/10 - possibly aoty for me.

This album will be epic:
Fueled By Ramen proudly announces the ambitious new record from Forgive Durden, RAZIA’S SHADOW: A MUSICAL. Composed and conceived by Thomas Dutton, RAZIA’S SHADOW is a full-on piece of musical talespinning, complete with elaborate characters, powerful themes, and a hauntingly beautiful narrative. The album tells the story of a world divided in two by the selfish actions of a powerful and egotistical, yet insecure angel. After generations of darkness, the world is eventually brought back together by the love and sacrifice of a couple brave enough to fulfill their destinies.
