In a massive crossover between heavy music and gaming, Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes and Spiritbox vocalist Courtney LaPlante have joined forces for a new single titled If The Sun Burns Out Tonight.
Written and produced alongside electronic artist Grabbitz (marking his fourth anthem for the franchise), the track will serve as the official theme for this year’s Valorant Champions tournament taking place in Shanghai from September 24 to October 18.
Speaking on blending their styles together, Grabbitz shared:
“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.”
While LaPlante has previously joined Bring Me The Horizon onstage for guest performances, If The Sun Burns Out Tonight marks the duo’s very first official studio release together.
Oli Sykes noted:
“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.”
Courtney LaPlante added:
“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.”
