Reggae-punk band SiM’s latest single, CHAMPiONS, is the official theme song for the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) Year 4 Championship and is now available on all major digital platforms.
ALGS, the premier esports competition for the first-person shooter Apex Legends, held its championship in Sapporo, Japan, from January 29 to February 2—its first-ever event in Asia. 40 teams from around the world battled for the global title. On February 1, SiM made history as the first artist to perform live at an ALGS event, delivering a powerful world premiere of CHAMPiONS.
A high-energy music video captures their arena performance right at the heart of the action. With intense live footage, rallying lyrics, and crushing breakdowns, CHAMPiONS is a surge of adrenaline, just like the game. SiM once again proves their knack for crafting hard-hitting anthems. The song’s military drumline beats, heavy riffs, and vivid storytelling make it a perfect match for Apex Legends while staying true to the band’s signature sound.
In May, SiM marks their 20th anniversary with the nationwide 20YEARS TOUR, hitting nine cities across Japan. Each show will pay tribute to one of the band’s earlier albums, with the featured albums selected through a livestreamed random draw at a later date.
Additionally, SiM’s own music festival, DEAD POP FESTiVAL, returns on June 28-29 at Higashi Ogishima East Park in Kawasaki, Japan. The presale ended on February 16, with general ticket sales opening soon. For more information, keep your eye on the official website.
