HBO creating Game of Thrones mixtape for season 5 with Killswitch Engage 

Last year’s most surprising promotional effort from HBO for the fourth season of

was a mixtape titled “Catch The Throne.” The mixtape featured hip hop music and was made available for free on Soundcloud.

-inspired rap was received with mixed reactions from fans, it appears HBO is going ahead and creating a second edition of “Catch The Throne” for season 5.

According to the Facebook of American metalcore band Killswitch Engage and the Instagram of the band’s vocalist Jesse Leach, the band is currently recording a song for this year’s “Catch The Throne” mixtape. Leach posted an assortment of photos from the recording session.

The question now is, will the mixtape feature a variety of music styles or is this year’s theme is hard rock/metal? Another theme seems likely but with

I was gonna say please let it be the dornishmen’s wife or the last of giants but I Don’t think this kind of music is good for the show – this is the first time they use a song that wasn’t from the books

Catch The Throne last year was a mixtape of music

by the show- it wasn’t a recording of songs from the books. You can hear examples of it at the Soundcloud I linked.

AWESOME! Love KS. Metal is more to my personal taste than the Hip Hop of the last mix tape. Will definitely pick this up if it features a number of Rock/Metal artists as good as KS.

Oh, no. I thought this was a horrible idea the first time. I mean, Daddy Yankee? Big Boi? I still think this looks terrible, but…to each their own I suppose.

I at least listened to last year’s album to find out that it was bad, but if we’re going with metal as this years’ theme I’ll probably pass it over entirely. Hope it’s good for people who are into that.

If you’re as popular as GOT has become, you can basically get away with just about anything

I still think the promotional campaign for the first season was the best by far in terms of creativity. If it was also the one that raised the most extra awareness for the show, I’m not sure, since much of it seemed focused towards the by then already sullied fans.

I’m a Metalhead but KSE is not the kind of metal I really listened.

Would have loved a good power metal for that ! Ala Blind Guardian or Iced Earth ! Would have been epic !

Killswitch Engage is a good band at least but whatever man
