Forgive Razia's Shadow

I dunno how many of you have been keeping up to date on this but Forgive Durden are going to release their next album, entitled "Razia's Shadow" on the 28th October. It's going to be a musical and have characters portrayed by different artists that will be featured on the album.

So far they've had a viral campaign going on at http://www.raziasshadow.com where they're putting up a photo of each character and a sound clip of their voices.

So far it seems like it's gonna be pretty epic and I'm looking forward to it so much.

Anyone else interested by the project?

 

I've been following this for a little while now and think it's going to be absolutely amazing.

Sangara sounded like Gerard Way to me, but I don't know.

 

Sorry I missed that one out and didn't notice!

No one seems to be sure on who Sangara is, people are saying they think the singers in the clip are Dutton and Dan from This Providence.

I can't tell myself haha

 

This sounds amazing, I've been reading their blog, but I didn't know about this, actually.

edit: They just really give the Spider eight legs.

And that did sound like Gerard Way.

I'm excited to hear this.

 

this sounds interesting. I've never been a fan of Forgive Durden but i like the concept of this. and the guest artists seem pretty good.

 

I've got to agree. The little clip of Sangara that's up actually reminds me of "Mama" a touch.


Definitely looking forward to this, it sounds epic.

 

Site was updated today with Pallis - Brandon Urie of Panic at the Disco. I must say, every clip that is released makes me more and more excited for this album. I am almost assured this will be album of the year for me

 

I've updated my first post and there's another clip online featuring Nic Newsham.

 

A full song was posted last night at http://www.purevolume.com/forgivedurden

And you can pre-order the album (as I have! ) on the Fueled By Ramen website.

 

Love the song. I also love how its the one song that is only Dutton

 

Brendon's song sounds amazing, as does Casey's

I'm looking forward to this.

 

The new song is amazing, Tom is my hero

 

Listen to "08. The Exit (ft. Brendon Urie and Dan Young)" at

Click the album artwork or it is under the "Exclusive Streams"

Man, I am so stoked for this. Both songs sound amazing so far and I love how they really DO sound like a well done musical.

 

Yeah, I love The Exit. Brendon Urie's voice is perfect for this album as is Dan Young's. The song actually reminds me of Mama by My Chemical Romance in some parts, but I love that song so it's okay.

The song with Max Bemis on is online at absolutepunk.net now so go give it a listen!

 

Well, it's leaked. What do you guys think?

 

Album of the year, personally. I cant get enough of it.

 

I love this album, the story is great. You have to listen to it all the way through and the experience is just so cool and musically enjoying.

 

Wow.

This is brilliant.

 

i pretty much listen to this every time im in the car. I think the 1st half of the album is overall stronger and entertaining but thats not to say the second is bad.

Shame this won't get half the recognition it deserves...
