Snoop Dogg, Method Man, Killswitch Engage Contribute Songs to New 'Game of Thrones' Mixtape

Snoop, an avid fan who recaps the show on his GNN web series, relayed his excitement via a press release.

"Off the top, I love Game of Thrones-I even gave my expert analysis of this season on my GGN show," the rapper said. "It's like the rap game, it's gangster, about family, loyalty and trying to get to the top. I had to get involved. Give the fans a little bit of how I see it."

Artists will represent different families from the show like the Lannisters. The tunes will also draw from the themes of fire and ice, which run deep in the George R.R. Martin book this season is based on.

"As fans of Game of Thrones, we are extremely excited to collaborate on this project," Anthrax leader Scott Ian said, Rolling Stone notes. "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."

Game of Thrones is one of HBO's most popular series that is currently on the air. Although it started slow, the ratings have increased every year. The season four opener attracted 6.64 million viewers, with the finale drawing 7.09 million. That's impressive considering the pilot only brought in 2.22 million viewers and 3.04 for the final ep of that season.
