As promised, Icelandic post-rock veterans Sigur Rós have released their own version of "The Rains of Castamere" to coincide with the fourth season of HBO's bloody fantasy show Game of Thrones.

Though they likely could've stretched it out for 20 minutes, Sigur Rós instead kept things under two. In that time, they offer up ambient tones and hushed back-up vocals as frontman Jónsi Birgisson sings the lyrics.

Listen to Sigur Rós' version of "The Rains of Castamere" below.
