“Stranger Things” achieved another feat, placing “Master of Puppets” on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. After appearing in the spotlight in the final episode of season 4 of the Netflix series, the song emerged at number 40 on the Billboard pop music chart.

Metallica was all praise in the post: “The way the Duffer Brothers incorporate music into ‘Stranger Things’ has always been on another level, so we were overly excited that they not only included ‘Master of Puppets’, but that they had such a pivotal scene. built around the music. We couldn’t wait to see the final result and when we saw it, we were completely blown away … “
In the series, 1986 classic rock is played by the character Eddie (Joseph Quinn), atop a trailer, to lure flying demons into the heaviest metal moment in the series.
“It was so extremely well done, some people were able to guess the song just by seeing a few seconds of Joseph Quinn’s hands in the trailer!” Added the band. “It has been an incredible honor to be such an important part of Eddie’s journey and once again to keep company with all the other amazing artists featured in the series.”
