KILLSWITCH ENGAGE Is Writing A New Song for Game of Thrones

Every year around the time a new season of Game of Thrones comes around, HBO releases a mixtape. Last year's was called Catch The Throne and featured primarily hip hop acts. This year's mixtape will have a metal edge.

Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach posted a teaser saying the band is working on a new track yesterday, but didn't reveal what it was for:

Tracking vocals for a last minute "secret" @killswitchengage track! Pretty stoked! #AdamD at the controls, gunna be a long night! #KillswitchEngage #Vocals #jesseleach #MassiveRiffs

I guess word got out, because today, Leach revealed what exactly the project was about:

HBO is in the studio with us?! Yup word is out! @killswitchengage are part of the #GameOfThrones mixtape! #CatchTheThrone dudes are stoked! New song coming soon!

With the new season debuting in April, we imagine we'll hear this track sooner rather than later. Let's hope HBO hired some viking metal bands too!
