Atreyu have released the official music video for the song “Super Hero” which first appeared on their 2018 release In Our Wake. The song features guest appearances from Avenged Sevenfold’s M. Shadows and from Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie.
Atreyu explained in a post to social media that the song was written about what it’s like to be a parent, explaining that the song now takes on a new meaning to the band:
“Our song ‘Super Hero’ was written about what it’s like to be a parent and the vast amount of time, effort, energy, and hard work it takes to be a real-life superhero for your children. The song also has a broader meaning, especially given the current situation the entire world is dealing with. There are many superheroes out there who appear in many forms — namely the first responders, medical personnel, and health care workers who are putting others first as they work to fight COVID-19 and to save lives. We dedicate this song to them.”
The band is currently working on their eighth studio album which is expected later this year.
