ANTHRAX Upload Footage From Catch The Throne: The Mixtape Volume II Recordings

HBO has teamed up with some of the music industry’s top artists for the second installment of Catch The Throne: The Mixtape, for the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning series, Game Of Thrones. Building on the success of Volume 1 – with over 2.5MM streams to date – Volume II will feature Method Man, Snoop Dogg and Yandel and will transcend genres by adding Grammy-nominated metal bands Anthrax and Killswitch Engage to the mixtape lineup. The mixtape will be released in anticipation of the Season 5 debut of Game Of Thrones, airing April 12th on HBO.

Produced by Launch Point Records, the 15-song mixtape features diverse artists representing Game Of Thrones families, leveraging themes and highlights from Season 4. Showcasing the importance of music in Game Of Thrones, each song on the mixtape samples music from the show’s Season 4 soundtrack. This year’s mixtape also weaves in the overarching theme of fire and ice, providing listeners with an exciting line-up of heavy metal and hip-hop artists.

Scott Ian of Anthrax says, “As fans of Game Of Thrones, we are extremely excited to collaborate on this project. Recording a song about the Lannister family allows us to connect more with our fans and Game Of Thrones fans in a way we would have never imagined.”
