Now the band releases soul searching video for “Believe.”
“‘Believe’ is a cinematic rock ballad, powered by dynamic vocals and massive guitars. Set in a futuristic world, it’s a story driven song, that finds hope amidst destruction with the help of a child, through their lens of wonder, innocence and trust. With the music video, we wanted to showcase the raw power of the band and share a glimpse of the story, through Margarita’s art.” – Edge Of Paradise.
