Game of Thrones: Season 6 (Music from the HBO Series)

A veritable king’s banquet of bold compositions awaits you on this fittingly epic aural accompaniment to the biggest TV show on the planet. And German musician Djawadi’s tutelage with soundtrack archmaester Hans Zimmer is evident in the thunderous wingbeat of “Khaleesi” and the discordant, celestial atmospherics on “Reign”. It’s not all fire and blood, though—“Needle” conjures a delicate icy romance and the insanely hummable main title theme remains a masterpiece of strange, rousing majesty.
