Linkin Park have shared an animated video for their second new track with new lead singer Emily Armstrong, “Heavy Is the Crown.” The official studio version of the song has been selected as the official 2024 ‘League of Legends’ World Championship Anthem, marking the band’s first time collaborating with Riot Games. The video for Heavy Is the Crown shows animated versions of Linkin Park performing in a white castle, with members of pro-league teams are seen storming the fortress.
The group’s first song with Armstrong, “The Emptiness Machine,” reached the top of Billboard’s Alternative and Rock Airplay charts, and landed at No. 21 on the Hot 100 chart. Since its release, it’s garnered over 95 million streams on Spotify and 28 million views on YouTube.
Linkin Park is also on the road with their From Zero World Tour, which sold out in mere minutes, and added three additional stadium shows for 2024 in Paris, Dallas, and São Paulo.
