Plague 2 - Rana Temporaria [Ten Plagues for a Godless Age] Shakespearean Rock Opera

Details

Description

Plague II – Rana Temporaria — a Shakespearean rock opera sequence where the biblical plague is reborn as a modern allegory for political corruption and religious hypocrisy.

In a moonlit, algae-choked swamp that seeps into the grand hall of law, the common frog (Rana temporaria) becomes pestilence personified: loud, relentless, and impossible to ignore. Politicians and clergy — from pope’s hats to royal thrones — wade knee-deep in the same stagnant water, painted as fools in the filth they rule.

This is not divine punishment.
The infestation is man-made.
No god is coming to clear the swamp.

🎭 Tone & Style:
Oppressive, gothic, and theatrical — blending rock opera power with Shakespearean lyricism.
Expect pounding choruses, false silences shattered by waves of sound, and a hypnotic hook: “Croak for the crown, croak for the cross.”

🎧 Listen in sequence:
