The official lyric video for “No Greener Lands” accompanies the first single from IRON MASK’s forthcoming album, Crimson Prophecy. The Belgian power metal band will release the album on January 29, 2027 via Frontiers Music Srl. The single and video are available now.

Guitarist Dushan Petrossi connects the song’s subject to the habit of searching elsewhere for a better life while overlooking what is already within reach.

“'No Greener Lands' is a song about something I think we can all relate to: always looking for something better somewhere else, without realizing the value of what we already have,” Petrossi commented. “I wanted to capture that feeling through strong and memorable vocal melodies – which will stick in your head- powerful riffs, and an epic atmosphere. It’s a song with a message, but also all the energy and emotion that define IRON MASK for me.”

Crimson Prophecy also features the return of Mark Boals on lead vocals. Led by Petrossi, IRON MASK combines classical influences and neoclassical guitar work with classic heavy metal, placing melodies, riffs, arrangements and choruses at the center of the album’s approach.

Petrossi described variety between the songs as a goal for the record, alongside the musical elements associated with the band.

“With 'Crimson Prophecy,' I wanted to create an album that feels both powerful and diverse, while staying true to the spirit of IRON MASK. Each song has its own personality, mood, and story, but they all share the same passion for melody, epic arrangements, heavy metal with strong choruses, and the neoclassical guitar work that has always defined my sound. I really pushed myself creatively on this record, and I feel it’s one of the most varied and exciting albums we’ve made so far.”

The announced lineup includes Petrossi on all electric guitar, acoustic guitar, backing vocals and keyboards; Vassili Moltchanov on bass; Boals on lead vocals; Franky De Mangelaere on keyboards; and Kjell De Raes on drums.
