Their first song \u201cPARANOIA\u201d will make fans\u2019 hearts skip a beat starting at 10am CT on Oct. 23, when it will be first released to the public with its music video on YouTube. The \u201cgenre-bending group\u201d features vocalist BAEKHYUN as Ezreal, rapper \u00d8ZI as Sett, vocalist Tobi Lou as K'Sante, rapper Cal Scruby as Kayn, with the addition of Aphelios as the group\u2019s songwriter and Yone as its producer. Drawing inspiration from modern music's collective range of influences from across genres and eras, HEARTSTEEL is a group of \u201csix dynamic daredevils\u201d whose relentless energy and bold music come to life in their debut single \u201cPARANOIA.\u201d And with BAEKHYUN's soaring vocals, Cal Scruby's clever wordplay, \u00d8ZI's versatile artistry, and Tobi Lou's captivating melodies, HEARTSTEEL is all set to make fans' hearts skip a beat. The group joins the ranks of Riot\u2019s chart-topping virtual artists whose music spans across all genres, from K-pop to heavy metal. With sky-high expectations set upon them, HEARTSTEEL will have to conquer more than just the fans\u2019 love and aim for record-breaking numbers across platforms, hoping to send their debut song off the c-hearts. And while the desire for an all-male band has long been inhabiting League fans\u2019 souls and Riot said to be excited to \u201cbring this fantasy to life,\u201d it could still not be enough.\u00a0 Less than a month ago Riot released \u201cGODS,\u201d the 2023 World Championship anthem featuring NewJeans that has been climbing global charts since its debut and has brought the majority of the League community to their knees\u2013and to church\u2014in a heartbeat. While the attention on Riot\u2019s music is at its yearly peak, the release of \u201cPARANOIA\u201d so close to \u201cGODS\u201d could break even a HEARTSTEEL stacked to the maximum.\u00a0 Riot\u2019s latest virtual group promises to rock the music world with a debut that has the potential to deliver nothing short of a heart-pounding performance. As this genre-bending band steps onto the global stage, their electrifying collaboration with acclaimed artists from diverse musical backgrounds is setting the stage for a \"PARANOIA\"-inducing experience.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/HEARTSTEEL-kv.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/995974"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2012"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=995974"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/995974\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":996213,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/995974\/revisions\/996213"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/995976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=995974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=995974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=995974"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=995974"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=995974"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=995974"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=995974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Their first song \u201cPARANOIA\u201d will make fans\u2019 hearts skip a beat starting at 10am CT on Oct. 23, when it will be first released to the public with its music video on YouTube. The \u201cgenre-bending group\u201d features vocalist BAEKHYUN as Ezreal, rapper \u00d8ZI as Sett, vocalist Tobi Lou as K'Sante, rapper Cal Scruby as Kayn, with the addition of Aphelios as the group\u2019s songwriter and Yone as its producer. Drawing inspiration from modern music's collective range of influences from across genres and eras, HEARTSTEEL is a group of \u201csix dynamic daredevils\u201d whose relentless energy and bold music come to life in their debut single \u201cPARANOIA.\u201d And with BAEKHYUN's soaring vocals, Cal Scruby's clever wordplay, \u00d8ZI's versatile artistry, and Tobi Lou's captivating melodies, HEARTSTEEL is all set to make fans' hearts skip a beat. The group joins the ranks of Riot\u2019s chart-topping virtual artists whose music spans across all genres, from K-pop to heavy metal. With sky-high expectations set upon them, HEARTSTEEL will have to conquer more than just the fans\u2019 love and aim for record-breaking numbers across platforms, hoping to send their debut song off the c-hearts. And while the desire for an all-male band has long been inhabiting League fans\u2019 souls and Riot said to be excited to \u201cbring this fantasy to life,\u201d it could still not be enough.\u00a0 Less than a month ago Riot released \u201cGODS,\u201d the 2023 World Championship anthem featuring NewJeans that has been climbing global charts since its debut and has brought the majority of the League community to their knees\u2013and to church\u2014in a heartbeat. While the attention on Riot\u2019s music is at its yearly peak, the release of \u201cPARANOIA\u201d so close to \u201cGODS\u201d could break even a HEARTSTEEL stacked to the maximum.\u00a0 Riot\u2019s latest virtual group promises to rock the music world with a debut that has the potential to deliver nothing short of a heart-pounding performance. As this genre-bending band steps onto the global stage, their electrifying collaboration with acclaimed artists from diverse musical backgrounds is setting the stage for a \"PARANOIA\"-inducing experience.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/HEARTSTEEL-kv.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/995974"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2012"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=995974"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/995974\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":996213,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/995974\/revisions\/996213"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/995976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=995974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=995974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=995974"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=995974"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=995974"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=995974"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=995974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
