Razia's Shadow: A Musical


Razia's Shadow is a concept album by Thomas and Paul Hunter, released by Thomas' band, Forgive Durden, through Fueled by Ramen Records. The story of the album is divided into two parts. The first part tells the story of the creation of a world filled with angels but divided by the arrogance and insecurities of one of the angel. After the world is split and after generations of darkness, the second part of the story tells of how the world is reunited through love and sacrifice.
The music of Razia's Shadow features a lot of different bands such as Gatsbys American Dream, Say Anything, The Hush Sound, An Angle, The Dear Hunter, The Matches, Saves the Day and Panic! at the Disco and of course, Forgive Durden.
I really like the music and also the story. It flows really well and features a lot of bands that I like. one really neat thing about it is that only about half of the vocal tracks were recorded in person. The other half were recorded by the vocalists and sent in through the internet, and all the orchestral music was produced with software. Great use of technology.
