Game of Thrones is only about a month away. They can do something as simple as release a poster and I get super excited. Also exciting: the mixtape is less than a month away.
Game of Thrones has commissioned two metal acts as part of the mixtape. We've already heard a tease of Killswitch Engage's contribution and today, Anthrax shared a tease of what's to come from their song:
Previously, Scott Ian said rather than writing a completely new song, they went back and listened to the demos for their upcoming album and the song they picked sounded the most Game of Thronesy:
Everybody listened to the demos and we all had the same idea that this one demo just sounded like that should be the song for 'Game Of Thrones', so it was a pretty easy decision. The lyrics weren't written yet, though — we only had the music — so then [the show producers] said you have to pick something about the show to write about. And I got to write about exactly what I wanted to write about [the Lannister family], so I was very happy about that.
Catch The Throne: The Mixtape comes out March 17th. Game of Thrones returns April 12th.
