Linkin Park is releasing a new single as the League Of Legends World Championship Anthem today.

“Heavy Is The Crown” is the second track of the band’s 2024 comeback, following “The Emptiness Machine” earlier in the month.

The new tune is due to drop at 11am ET, and Mike Shinoda says it’s a “highlight” for the band in this next chapter.

He explained, “It’s been an amazing experience partnering with Riot to bring this anthem to the global League of Legends community. The song is a real highlight of this new era for us, harnessing our signature sound and infusing it with fresh energy. We’re so excited for players and fans to experience this!”

Maria Egan, Global Head of Music at Riot Games, added, “The Worlds anthem is the music moment that League players look forward to the most each year, and it has become a highly coveted fixture in music across the world. As the band embarks on this exciting new chapter, we’re honored to partner with them for the 2024 anthem.”
