Looking for a soundtrack to rock at your Game of Thrones viewing parties? HBO has drafted some of the biggest names in music to make an album packed with all-new tracks inspired by the world-wide phenomenon. In collaboration with Columbia Records, everyone from Mumford & Sons to A$AP Rocky is putting their musical stamp on the World of Ice and Fire:

What, no one told Maisie Williams about this?

The album is set for an April 26 release date. Here’s who’s on it:

 A$AP Rocky
Chloe X Halle
Ellie Goulding
Jacob Banks
James Arthur
Joey BadA$$
Lennon Stella
Lil Peep
Maren Morris
Matthew Bellamy
Mumford & Sons
Rosalía feat. A.CHAL
SZA
The Lumineers
The National
The Weeknd
Travis Scott
Ty Dolla $ign
X Ambassadors

The National, by the way, already did a cover of “The Rains of Castamere” that was used on the show. Good times:

So we can assume that all the bands here are fans. And don’t think this will just be some all-digital release. Best Buy might have stopped selling CDs, but the For the Throne album will be released in “11 different vinyl configurations: nine cover variants representing each house crest, one color variant with fire and ice colored vinyl, and one standard.” Which just sounds all kinds of awesome.

Fans can pre-order the album here. Game of Thrones season 8 returns this Sunday, April 14.
