The quartet dropped their debut album, &#8216;Mask&#8217; not long after their formation, and followed this with &#8216;Immortal Waltz&#8217; in 2015, which demonstrated a new maturity in their sound, honed after a heavy touring year. They were empowered by this to dive back into their writing with new energy, which found its completion in their album, &#8216;ALIVE&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for &#8216;ALIVE&#8217;, directed by Val Rassi, is dark and yet exhilarating, opening with Margarita striding down an alley in alternative shots of her laying on the ground. We then see she&#8217;s actually the creation of a &#8220;mad scientist&#8221;, who&#8217;s watching her on the other side of the glass in his lab. &#8216;ALIVE&#8217; is hard and fast and furious, and with soaring guitar solos and powerful drums. Monet sings, &#8220;Run through my veins\/Break me from chains\/I wanna feel alive&#8221; and we feel her passion and desire in every word she spits out. It&#8217;s the perfect lead track to the album, introducing an overall theme of pain, and a desire to come back from its consequences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;ALIVE&#8217; is available from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=desc&amp;redir_token=Li5yu-KW5OV3jH_AoF8rU4Q5YXB8MTUwNTkwMjg0OUAxNTA1ODE2NDQ5&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fitun.es%2Fus%2F3Wxbib\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iTunes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=desc&amp;redir_token=Li5yu-KW5OV3jH_AoF8rU4Q5YXB8MTUwNTkwMjg0OUAxNTA1ODE2NDQ5&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Falbum%2F63FDYW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>.
