I couldn't be more excited about Game of Thrones returning this Sunday on HBO for it's third season. It's without question the most metal show on television. Seriously, how has Amon Amarth not cameoed on the show yet?
Anyway, it's easy to see the crossover appeal between the show and metalheads, and some fans have even taken their love a step further by reworking the opening theme song to the show to be metal.
For reference, here is the actual intro to the show:

Now, here is every halfway-decent metal cover I could find. It's great to see how many different spins can be made to the same piece of music.

Am I the only one really pumped for Game of Thrones this Sunday? Who's your favorite character? The imp, Tyrion Lannister, is mine. That dude is bad ass.
