Mastodon make cameo as wildlings on Game of Thrones - PHOTOS
Metal giants Mastodon have made their cameo on Game of Thrones!
Aired in the US yesterday and on Sky Atlantic in the UK tonight, Brann Dailor, Bill Kelliher and Brent Hinds from Mastodon portray wildlings in the episode entitled ‘Hardhome’.
Huge fans of the show, Mastodon were personally invited to appear in the show by Game of Thrones executive producer and resident metalhead Dan Weiss. Their scenes were filmed in Northern Ireland.
Brann Dailor enthused of the experience:
“It was such an incredible experience to be on set as extras for our collective favourite 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.”
Back in March, Mastodon unleashed a track called ‘White Walker’ in homage to the icy zombies that appear in the HBO show. It appeared on the mixtape ‘Catch The Throne Vol.2’ to accompany the show.
