As if the opening credits for HBO's spectacular fantasy series Game of Thrones weren't cool enough, some dedicated fan has crafted an awesome metal version of the show's opening theme and it's now been set over the actual credits themselves. The result is an epic rock opening to a series that could only be made better by the presence of electric guitar running through its core. Of course, there's not much to complain about when it comes to Game of Thrones (especially since they've already got a second season ordered), so this is just icing on an already tasty cake. Check out the killer metal Game of Thrones theme after the jump.

Here's the retooled theme courtesy of Topless Robot:
