Its very much "new" Mastodon, but it doesn't suck.
Can't say that I'll ever go out of my way to listen to it again, but I dig it. Fits the theme of the show while still sounding like Mastodon. I can't help but think that I'd rather have heard The Sword doing something similar though.

Summit: first 3-4 Mastodon albums are incredible, check em out. Go from there if you want more.
GoT is pretty fucking hard to stomach until about the third or fourth episode of the first season. Then you are faced with the decision of whether or not to let the ridiculous fantasy tropes through to the goals and revel in the geekgasm, or say no to zombie/dragon/magic/death-by-winter/comet wrought apocalypse.
As someone that has read the books, read them if you want to nerd right the fuck out, but to be honest the writing on the show is better and while I'm not a fan of the extent of streamlining they've undertaken (although, I certainly agree, necessary for the tv format) it keeps moving at a breakneck speed and doesn't slow down to establish new chapters as much as Walking Dead does (not that I mind that either, I don't get why people hate on a show when they stop for one episode to unpack some heavy shit and then set up for the next round of brutality).
My 2c.
This. GoT is all kinds of awesome, regardless of if you choose the show or the books. The first couple of episodes were tough for me since there is a lot of characters to suss out, but after that it seems like people love it or hate it. And, depending on who you ask, the first 3-4 Mastodon albums are stupid good.

I dig Zeppelin. My mom was into them, and my dad was really into Cream. I've got a very large soft spot for a lot of classic rock.
