Columbia Records and HBO announced today another addition to Game of Thrones’ long tradition of musical merch hyping a new season: For The Throne: Music Inspired by the HBO Series Game of Thrones. There is a new twist though: the network confirms that this is the first time they’ve partnered with a major label to “curate a soundtrack”, one that will feature new songs from a host of big names. The For the Throne album drops worldwide on April 26.


The artists involved include:

A$AP Rocky
Chloe X Halle
Ellie Goulding
Jacob Banks
James Arthur
Joey BadA$$
Lennon Stella
Lil Peep
Maren Morris
Matthew Bellamy
Mumford & Sons
Rosalía feat. A.CHAL
SZA
The Lumineers
The National
The Weeknd
Travis Scott
Ty Dolla $ign
X Ambassadors

How can you get it? Glad you asked! For The Throne is available for pre-order via 11 different vinyl configurations: nine cover variants representing each Great House crest, one color variant with fire and ice colored vinyl (shown up top!), and one standard black vinyl For The Throne cover.

  1. Uhh… okaY? I think I’ll pass on this #ForTheThrone offering. It’s still neat to see the merchandising branch out even if it does feel a bit like Yogurt saying, “We put the pictures name on everything! Merchandising! Merchanidising!”

  2. Nothing says “Game of Thrones” quite like a song from Lil Peep and Travis Scott. Maybe if we’re lucky the Kardashians can get involved and over-photoshop the album art too.

    Thanks, but no thanks.

    I’m still waiting for the unofficial WOTW Ice and Fire album to be released.

    – Light My Fire
    – Cold as Ice
    – Stone Cold Crazy
    – Strangers in the Night by Ole’ Blue Eyes himself
    – Fire
    – Fight Fire with Fire
    – Jump in the Fire
    – Great Balls of Fire
    – Ring of Fire

  3. Maybe it’s cuz I am a metalhead, but the only songs worth recommending for all of these “star-studded” For the Thrones / Catch the Throne mixtapes were White Walker by Mastodon, Among the Crows by Mushroomhead, and Sorror Irumator by Anthrax. The rest of those songs were complete garbage.

    To paraphrase the above poster, nothing says Game of Thrones like Snoop Dogg rapping about the Lannisters.

  4. This is better than something I read about actually putting one of the songs in the show. Way to take me right out of the story. At least I don’t have to listen to the album.
