Columbia Records
HBOβs Game of Thrones fans will be excited to hear the new music released on the album, For the Throne (Music Inspired by the HBO Series Game of Thrones). This album offers 14 tracks that feature a diverse range of artists and multiple musical genres. Country singer Marin Morris opens the album with a haunting sounding song, βKingdom of Oneβ and is followed by a mix of alternative, pop, and hip-hop Game of Throne themed songs. Many well-known artists were inspired to offer their talents and it resulted in some amazing tracks. The Lumineersβ βNightshade,β Ellie Gouldingβs βHollow Crownβ, and RosalΓa’s βMe Traiconasteβ, are tracks that you wonβt want to miss whether you are a Game of Thrones fan or not. If you are a fan of HBOβs award winning show then you will hear, and understand, the references throughout the album. In the last song, βPray (High Valyrian)β by Matt Bellamy you hear the sound of Daenerys repeating a prayer again and again. Other songs are not as literal as having High Valyrian in them but their lyrics and rap bars are all about The Game of Thrones characters you loveβ¦or love to hate. You can get this album digitally or pick it up on CD or vinyl format.
