Valorant recruits Oli Sykes and Courtney LaPlante for new EDM track

Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes and Spiritbox singer Courtney LaPlante have shared a new electronic track created for Valorant.

The metalcore musicians joined forces with producer Grabbitz on ‘If The Sun Burns Out Tonight’, the official anthem for the tactical hero shooter’s Champions Shanghai 2026 Finals, which will run from September 24 until October 18.

Oli said: “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 said: “I cannot wait to release this song! Oli has given me the opportunity to perform live with Bring Me The Horizon 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.”

Grabbitz added: “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 previously spoke to NME about the impact Bring Me The Horizon have had on the wider scene and her own career, saying: “I think a lot of metal bands are very comfortable doing the same things as everyone else. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course. I love seeing a band who’ve been around for 30 years playing to three generations of fans, but Bring Me The Horizon speak to my dreams a lot more.”
