Volume 2's lineup features hip-hop and reggaeton artists such as Method Man, Snoop Dogg, and Yandel mixed in with metal bands such as Anthrax and Killswitch Engage.The mixtape's 15 songs are said to represent the Game of Thrones characters and their families, leveraging themes and highlights from the show's fourth season. Each song samples music from the season 4 soundtrack, and the tracklist also weaves in the overarching theme of fire and ice.According to HBO, each of the artists featured is a huge fan of the series."Off the top, I love Game of Thrones - I even gave my expert analysis of this season on my GGN show," said Snoop Dogg. "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."Catch the Throne: The Mixtape Volume 2 will be released for free next month, ahead of the series' Season 5 premiere on April 12. Volume 1 of the mixtape was released before Season 4's premiere, and has since clocked up over 2.5 million streams.
