Against The Current have released their new single Wildfire. The two-track single includes a collaboration with the League of Legends European Championship (LEC) and two of its casters, Andrew ‘Vedius’ Day and Daniel ‘Drakos’ ahead of the start of the LEC 2022 season.
The collaborative version of the song includes vocals from Vedius and a rap interlude from Drakos. It marks the first time that a music artist has collaborated with Esports talent from Riot Games for a song.
“Bringing Wildfire to life was a surreal experience from beginning to end and any opportunity we have to be involved with the League of Legends world is incredible,” says frontwoman Chrissy Costanza. “We’re so excited to be the soundtrack to LEC 2022! Shooting the video was one of the biggest productions we had ever been on, so it was a crazy experience. We had never done overnight shoots or worked with so much pyro. The team behind it was awesome and we had an absolute blast.”
