mix tape plus another award nomination and Kit Harington’s new do after the jump.

We found out last week that Anthrax will join Killswitch Engage on the latest 

mix tape- something we assumed meant that this volume would be metal-focused. That may not be the case, however, as a tweet from HBO seems to confirm that hip-hop will also be featured on the new mix:

Send a raven. More hip-hop and metal music from the realm is coming. #CatchTheThrone@Anthrax@Scott_Ianpic.twitter.com/7RQzBJnf07

No word yet on who the rest of the artists on the album will be, though last year’s mix tape featured the likes of Big Boi and Common in its roster.

Nominations for the Art Directors Guild Awards were released earlier this week, and

Winners of the awards, which acknowledge excellence in production design, will be announced on January 31st, at the 19th Annual Awards Banquet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

We’ve heard Kit Harington speak in the past about being contractually obligated to never cut his hair, so his newly clipped ‘do is a bit surprising.

But, fans of his luscious locks, fear not, Kit may have snipped a few inches off, done a little shaping, and now seems to be using a healthy amount of hair gel- but he hasn’t gone completely off the rails (*cough*Nikolaj Coster-Waldau*cough*).

There’s still enough for lucky wildling women to run their hands through, for sure.

Just think… Kit will only be handsome for 30 to 40 more years.

Maybe they want to give Jon a more manly style, instead of looking like a teenage boy.

What teenage boy looks that manly? Come on now.

Kit’s hair? No fear, six months until July (Season 6) Oh, Kit thanks for the info!!! I can’t wait for season 5.

That’s a really good article. It should be added to this post.

When asked if Thrones’ creators might have reached a peak in the providing dramatic suspense, Harrington told The Telegraph: “I was worried about that very thing.”

During an interview for his new film, Testament of Youth, Harrington said he is convinced that season five will match up: “The thing I noticed this year is that they threw so much money at it.”

In particular, season five will bring filmic set pieces. “They were so huge,” Harington says.

Jon Snow left season four on a low after his lover Ygritte was killed. However, his actor said he’s been involved with big parts of the new series: “There’s one scene for me which took a month to film. It wasn’t even the whole thing, it was one section.”

It’s got late Book 3 and Book 5 spoilers that will be adapted into Jon’s Season 5 storyline, though. So be careful, Unsullied.

Thanks. I think the same Luka, great article!

Use spoiler tags when talking about specific future events, please!

Thanks for posting that, looks like season 5 will be even more expensive than season 4! Wonder what that huge set Kit was talking about is… hmm
