Members of Atlanta, GA’s Mastodon were featured as extra’s on HBO’s Game of Thrones last night.
Band members Brann Dailor, Bill Kelliher, and Brent Hinds portrayed wildlings in the episode “Hardhome,” which featured the metal band involved in one of the larger battle scenes in the show.
Mastodon’s Brann Dailor describes their time Beyond the Wall:
It was such an incredible experience to be on set as extras for our collective favorite show Game Of Thrones and to be wildlings murdered and then brought back to life by White Walkers was beyond amazing. I watched my best friends Brent and Bill, murdered right in front of me as I myself was stabbed in the stomach and had my throat slit multiple times, and I didn’t mind at all. It made me love being in Mastodon even more. We are more than privileged and honored to have been a part of one of the greatest stories ever told on film, and the catering wasn’t bad either.
This isn’t the first time Mastodon has been involved in the show – and appropriately enough, their last involvement also included the mythical white walkers.

“White Walkers” was featured on Catch the Throne Vol. 2 mixtape, a companion to the HBO show “Game of Thrones,” released after last season – the record also featured Iceland’s Sigur Rós performing the Lanister’s theme, “The Rains of Castamere.”
