Oakland violin metal act KnightressM1 have released the music video for “Butterfly” today.

The visual, which you can see below, was directed by Van Spronsen Productions. When it comes to the track, vocalist/violinist Emily Palen said:

"Butterfly is about coming to grips with our own personal power, owning that and not letting anyone take it away from us. With grace and compassion we can walk through the world harnessing our ultimate potential which as creative beings is our greatest service to the world. Our society, in its dysfunctionality, survives in its exploitation by manipulating and leaching off of people who are in servitude to its demands. Once we own the birthrights of our power, creative potential and joy they no longer control us. This is how we break the system.”

The song stems from KnightressM1’s debut album Dreams and Devastation, which was co-produced by Palen and John Lousteau (Foo Fighters, Joan Jett). A mini-documentary about the band can also be seen below.
