He&#8217;s performed at all six locations of the ULTRA Music Festivals, and has asserted himself as a fixture within the electro-house music scene, with a residency at Club Octagon and a Main Stage performance at Ultra Korea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for &#8216;Heart Of Steel&#8217; tells the story of Cora, a young girl who avenges the death of her parents. The Raven Gang experimented with Cora&#8217;s mother&#8217;s DNA, mixing it with metal and\u00a0petrol. She dies while giving birth to Cora. Similarly, her father is also a victim of the gang, having escaped with Cora&#8217;s mother and betraying them. Cora suffers from a wide array of health issues, including rubber feet, inhuman running speed, and a diet consisting of petrol\u00a0and oil. Cora is also in possession of a steel engine heart, from whence the song&#8217;s title comes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Heart Of Steel&#8217; utilises new wave editing techniques developed in France, matching action and flashbacks and creating a consistent storyline. Directed by Kyle Padilla in his customary stark style, the video is noted for its captivating contrasts of light and dark.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Download &#8216;Heart Of Steel&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/prot.cl\/heartofsteel\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.
