Fresh tracks every two weeks until full album lands 30 Oct 2025!
Prepare for impact—Robert Ratcliffe, boundary-pushing musician and sci-fi visionary, is set to drop his latest single taken from his explosive forthcoming concept album, ‘Chronicles of the Residuum: The Age of Destruction’. ‘Storm Flight’ is the second single from this visionary album detailing a brave rescue and escape from a chaotic war – and is available NOW. Not only that, due to the incredible response from fans of sci fi and fantasy genres about the project, the brilliant mind behind ‘Chronicles..’ has boldly decided to drop album tracks every two weeks, right up until the album release on 30th October 2025!
Fuelled by imagination and crafted on a 12-year-old laptop, Ratcliffe’s visionary project channels the spirit of concept album legends like Jeff Wayne and Rick Wakeman, while drawing sonic firepower from Hans Zimmer, The Prodigy, Orbital, and Aphex Twin.
This multimedia epic transports audiences deep into the Residuum, where war rages against the terrifying Ashe Moz and Anku must protect the First and Last child Unagu while unravelling the mysteries of her own shattered past. From decayed cathedrals to abandoned underground cities and floating islands, ‘The Age of Destruction’ is more than an album—it’s an immersive narrative of survival and hope.
The journey begins (after the Prologue) with first single ‘Escape from Port Fallen’, an adrenaline-fuelled fusion of skittering drum and bass pulses and soaring cinematic synths. As raiders storm Port Fallen to rescue Unagu – the music captures the urgency, heroism, and heart-wrenching sacrifice of a desperate mission.
Follow on, (and latest single) ‘Storm Flight’ details the raiders brave escape attempt: As the remnants of hope flee Port Fallen, the daring escape reaches its most perilous moment. Caught in the violent heart of the Aksanikath storm, the small plane carrying Unagu—the prophesied child—Anku, and the surviving raiders is battered by lightning and chaos. With engines failing and the sky a maelstrom of fury, pilot Vezhuu must summon every ounce of skill to navigate the tempest. In this crucible of wind and fear, the fate of the prophecy hangs by a thread…
