Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes and Spiritbox vocalist Courtney LaPlante are teaming up with producer Grabbitz for a new song, “If The Sun Burns Out Tonight.”
The track was created with Riot Games and will serve as the official anthem for the upcoming VALORANT Champions tournament in Shanghai, running September 24 through October 18.
Grabbitz says the collaboration brings all three artists’ worlds together, mixing his electronic sound with the heavier styles of Bring Me The Horizon and Spiritbox:
“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 three of us just clicked — and the result is what I believe to be the best Valorant anthem to date.”
Sykes said working with Riot Games was a natural fit thanks to his love of gaming and projects that combine music with storytelling.
“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.”
For LaPlante, the song also marks a long-awaited official collaboration with Sykes after years of joining Bring Me The Horizon onstage. LaPlante said of the collab:
“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.”
“If The Sun Burns Out Tonight” can be pre-saved now ahead of its release.
