Entertainment Weekly reports that both David Benioff and Dan Weiss, "Game of Thrones" showrunners, are a long-time fan of the Iceland based band, and that the creative duo often listened to the music of Sigur Rós' while filming "Game of Thrones" in Iceland.

This is not the first time that "Game of Thrones" has enlisted indie music bands. It has signed-up The National and Hold Steady. For Season 3 of "Game of Thrones," Brooklyn based indie group Hold Steady was roped in to perform songs, inspired by George R.R. Martin's "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" -- lyrics by Martin and music by the show's composer Ramin Djawadi. The National had recorded Martin's "The Rains of Castemere" for Season 2.

Also, Gary Lightbody, frontman of Snow Patrol, and Will Campion, Coldplay drummer, have appeared in "Game of Thrones" in cameo roles.

"Game of Thrones" Season 4 is slated to premiere sometime in spring, next year. The fantasy drama series picked up 16 2013 Primetime Emmy nominations for 2013. "Game of Thrones" has been nominated for 'Outstanding Drama Series' for the third consecutive year, which it won in 2011. Actress Emilia Clarke earned a nomination for 'Outstanding Supporting Actress,' while Diana Rigg scored a nomination for 'Outstanding Guest Actress.' In addition, "Game of Thrones" has scored nominations for art direction, costumes, cinematography, special visual effects, hairstyling, makeup, prosthetic makeup, sound editing, and sound mixing, and also outstanding writing for the episode "The Rains of Castamere."

Inspired by "Game of Thrones" fanatsy series, Uruguay based Able Alves has developed 'Game of Thrones: The 8-bit Game.' It features all the major characters of "Game of Thrones" and locations.

"I've tried to make some videogames before, but I was not very happy with the result," Alves, said to WIRED in an email. "This time, I spent more time and effort thinking about reaching a larger public. I knew I had to use a franchise that is known, and "Game of Thrones" has a universe very easily adaptable to a platform game: Mythical creatures, great heroes, terrible battles. So the decision was easy," he added.
