Pentakill returns to rock the LCS Mid Season Showdown with new music and epic performance
The Metal Icons Return
League of Legends fans and metalheads alike are in for a treat as Riot Games announces Pentakill’s explosive return to the LCS Mid Season Showdown stage.
Before K/DA dominated the charts, Pentakill pioneered Riot’s music ventures, and now the legendary metal act is back to headline the LCS Mid Season Showdown (MSS) with a brand new single.
Whether you’ve been with League since season one or just downloaded the client last week, Pentakill’s thunderous riffs and League-themed lyrics have become part of the game’s cultural fabric.
Pentakill’s Legacy in League of Legends
Formation and Early Success
Debuting in 2014, this six-piece metal phenomenon quickly became Summoner’s Rift’s most explosive musical export, with their debut album reaching #1 on iTunes charts worldwide.
Fronted by former Dragonforce vocalist ZP Theart, the band’s authentic metal credentials gave them instant credibility with both gamers and metal purists.
Musical Impact
Their 2016 album ‘Grasp of the Undying’ became legendary for its clever incorporation of League terminology into crushing metal anthems, with tracks like ‘Lightbringer’ and ‘Infinity Edge’ becoming fan favorites.
Pro Tip: New fans should check out Pentakill’s discography before the event to appreciate their musical evolution and League references.

The performance will debut a brand new single, giving fans their first taste of Pentakill’s upcoming musical project.
Common Mistake to Avoid: Don’t confuse Pentakill’s performance time with the championship matches – arrive early to secure good viewing spots for both.
