For this,Palen joined esteemed producer&nbsp;<strong>John \u201cLou\u201d Lousteau (Foo Fighters, Iggy Pop, Joan Jett)<\/strong>&nbsp;in producing this album, which was recorded at&nbsp;<strong>Foo Fighters<\/strong>\u2019 acclaimed&nbsp;<strong>Studio 606<\/strong>. Video producer&nbsp;<strong>Evan&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Lanam<\/strong>&nbsp;also recently released<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formed in 2011 by violinist, vocalist, pianist and composer&nbsp;<strong>Emily Palen<\/strong>, KnightressM1 is the sonic manifestation of her heart, integrating specific musical frequencies. The further she ventures in this sonic journey, the heavier the sound gets. The crushing intricate rhythm section blends harmoniously with her driving, searing electricified violin tone as the lead. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The debut album involves drummer&nbsp;<strong>Rob Ahlers (50FOOTWAVE, Kristin Hersh)<\/strong>&nbsp;and bassist&nbsp;<strong>Uriah Duffy (Whitesnake)<\/strong>. &nbsp;Fueled by a deep-seated necessity to defy limitation, their heavy driving bass and rhythm are rounded out with lots of harmonic layering and beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The embodiment of musical manifestations,&nbsp;<strong>KnightressM1&nbsp;<\/strong>is based on the thematic concept of a female galactic warrior, who comes to Earth to bring justice, hunt corruption and restore truth. Within universal language, M1 is code for unity. This is her identifier. Her frequency. KnightressM1 (KM1) is the vessel through which Palen creates and shares her unique contributions to what is more commonly known here on earth as the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since releasing her first solo violin album&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Glass ~ Live at Grace Cathedral&#8217;<\/strong>&nbsp;in 2012 and&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Creation&#8217;&nbsp;<\/strong>a year later, she\u2019s become a sponsored artist with Engl Amps and has played or recorded with&nbsp;<strong>Foo Fighters, Eric McFadden and Gretchen Menn<\/strong>, both as a live or recording artist. Earlier, she was a finalist in the &#8216;My Grammy Moment&#8217; competition and played live with orchestra at the&nbsp;<strong>Grammys<\/strong>, conducted by&nbsp;<strong>John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the first of eight songs recorded as live sessions at&nbsp;<strong>Lucky Recording Company&nbsp;<\/strong>in Burlingame, CA with engineers&nbsp;<strong>Mikel Ross<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Travis Kasperbauer<\/strong>, who is also mixing this session. This song foreshadows the direction of the band&#8217;s next full length LP, which takes a much heavier direction since &#8216;Dreams and Devastation&#8217; (both sonically and in lyrical substance) and tackling even more head on subjects of abuse, systemic tyranny, global corruption and the eternal and evolutionary inevitability of human nature. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;KnightressM1 \/\/ Live Sessions&#8217; will be released throughout the spring of 2021.
