Atreyu has debuted the music video for "Super Hero," a song off the group's latest album, "In Our Wake."

The video splices together footage of Atreyu at home with their families and also works in some shots of Avenged Sevenfold's M. Shadows and Underoath's Aaron Gillespie, who both appear on the song. View the video below.

The band is dedicating the video to medical professionals and first responders fighting the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

"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," Atreyu said in a statement. "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," the band added. "We dedicate this song to them."
