“Off the top, I love ‘Game of Thrones’ – I even gave my expert analysis of this season on my [Double G News Network] show. It’s like the rap game, it’s gangster, about family, loyalty and trying to get to the top,”
The second installment will focus on themes, highlights and families from Season 4.
Anthrax founding member Scott Ian added, “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.”
