Nine Red Moons Release New Single “No Man’s Land”

International metal project Nine Red Moons has officially released its new single “No Man’s Land,” a powerful track that blends heavy riffs, virtuosic performances, and a thought-provoking philosophical concept. The release marks another milestone for the band as they continue building momentum toward their debut full-length album, scheduled for 2026.

Founded by Brazilian guitarist Eduardo Simões (Pit Passarell, Chakal), Nine Red Moons was born during the pandemic, when Simões composed and recorded a series of songs that would later evolve into a global collaboration. Once live music returned, he invited musicians he deeply admired to help bring the project to life, encouraged by friends such as Felipe Machado (Viper), Val Santos (Toy Shop), and Alan Wallace (Eminence).

A key step in shaping the band’s sound was the re-recording of vocals with Greek singer Tasos Lazaris (One Machine, Steel Arctus, Iron Beast), whose commanding voice evokes the intensity of Bruce Dickinson, Geoff Tate, and Dio. His performance adds a dramatic and epic edge to the project’s identity.

The single “No Man’s Land” is driven by an infectious guitar riff and features standout solos by Eduardo Simões and Hugo Mariutti (Shaman, Andre Matos, Viper). Lyrically, the song draws inspiration from Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, telling the story of a man who experiences reality only through shadows on a wall, unaware of the true world beyond.

The cover artwork, created by Jean Michel (DSNS Agency), visually expands this concept by portraying the protagonist seated on a distant planet, gazing at Earth from afar — a striking metaphor for isolation and distorted perception. The lyric video modernizes the theme by linking the cave allegory to contemporary life, symbolizing a person who sees the world only through the screen of a smartphone.

Featuring contributions from an elite roster of international musicians — including members associated with Sepultura, Shaman, Viper, Annihilator, and more — Nine Red Moons stands out as a borderless, high-caliber metal collaboration with both technical excellence and conceptual depth.
