Massive things are coming in the Valorant world, as Bring Me The Horizon's Oli Sykes and Spiritbox's Courtney LaPlante both feature on the forthcoming Champions Anthem, If The Sun Burns Out Tonight.
In the latest epic collision between the worlds of heavy music and video games, Bring Me The Horizon's Oli Sykes and Spiritbox's Courtney LaPlante have collaborated with electronic producer Grabbitz on this year’s Valorant Champions Anthem, If The Sun Burns Out Tonight.
The song’s not out yet and won’t drop until the autumn, but it’s set to soundtrack this year’s Valorant Champions event in Shanghai, which brings together the top Valorant teams from across the world to compete from September 24 to October 18.
Oli says: "I’ve always been drawn to projects that blur the lines between storytelling and music, so working with Riot Games, alongside Grabbitz and Courtney, and becoming part of the VALORANT World felt like a really natural fit."
Grabbitz adds: “The best collaborations happen when everyone brings a different perspective to the room - and that’s what makes this record so exciting to me. Oli, Courtney and I came together from different corners of the globe, and landed on a track that sits effortlessly between my electronic world and the heavy landscapes of Bring Me The Horizon and Spiritbox. The 3 of us just clicked - and the result is what I believe to be the best VALORANT anthem to date.”
Courtney LaPlante says: “I cannot wait to release this song! Oli has given me the opportunity to perform live with BMTH many times over the years, and we're finally debuting something we worked on together. Grabbitz produced such a great atmosphere and a song tailored to all three of our voices, and Oli went in right away and made it a true collaboration.”
We're dying to hear more, but in the meantime, check out a teaser below:
