Here's Your Official X Games Anthem: The Glitch Mob’s Remix of Metallica’s “Lords of Summer”

It's very X Gamesy.

It’s all well and good to be a music snob, looking down your nose at mainstream hits in favor of lesser known breaking artists. But sometimes, when the mood hits, you just want to get amped up and you don’t care what it is hitting your earholes. You just want pure audio adrenaline in your veins. Maybe you need a song to soundtrack the sick 540 misty flip or whatever you’re about to do. Or you’re about to go into #beastmode on the squat rack. Whatever your amp-up needs are, this remix of Metallica’s “Lords of Summer” by The Glitch Mob will cover you. The song has been selected as the X Games Austin 2015’s official anthem, so get ready to hear it several thousand times this summer. Put your headphones on, turn this up, and get so amped you end up getting a concussion. Totally worth it.
