Following the success of their official single "Monster," Skillet has released a video for "Hero," the opening track off their latest album Awake. The video is a tribute to the everyday heroes among us and features some impressive pyrotechnics to boot.

Check out the video below. The band has just kicked off their Awake and Alive Tour with Hawk Nelson and Decyfer Down, and will be on the road until early December. Visit their MySpace for all the tour stops and more info. In the meantime, Awake is available now in stores or on iTunes. If you are uncertain as to how the album actually is, read our review here.
