Red Echoes - A Martian Chronicle by Velvet Radiation

“We came bearing silence. They gave us flame.”

Red Echoes is a space rock concept album that reimagines War of the Worlds from the Martians’ perspective — not as invaders, but as curious explorers responding to a mysterious signal from Earth.

Told through atmospheric tracks, ambient narration, and poetic logbook-style lyrics, the album follows the Martians from hopeful descent to tragic collapse. Each track is a recovered memory — part transmission, part dream, part failure.

From distorted guitars and theremin to ambient synths and alien pulses, this album blends space rock, cinematic sound design, and 70s sci-fi textures into an immersive listening experience.

Includes:

10 story-driven tracks

A downloadable illustrated Martian logbook (PDF) -

The lyrics in the logbook do not always match the vocal performance on the album — this is intentional.
The logbook represents the final thoughts and memory decay of the Martians. The album presents the audio fragments recovered from the wreckage.

Bonus single: Signal Burn — a corrupted broadcast that loops endlessly in orbit

For fans of: Hawkwind, Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, retro-futurism, analog horror, and interplanetary sorrow.

Listen with headphones.
Read the logbook.
Feel the signal.
