Metallica gave their beloved song “Masters of Puppets” a new lyric video yesterday.

The visual, which can be seen below, took inspiration from season four of Stranger Things. “Masters of Puppets” was prominently featured in the show, which led to a huge spike in Metallica streams.

Metallica said this about their inclusion in Netflix’s highly-popular series:

“The way The Duffer Brothers have incorporated music into Stranger Things has always been next level, so we were beyond psyched for them to not only include “Master of Puppets” in the show, but to have such a pivotal scene built around it. We were all stoked to see the final result and when we did we were totally blown away... it’s so extremely well done, so much so, that some folks were able to guess the song just by seeing a few seconds of Joseph Quinn’s hands in the trailer!! How crazy cool is that?

It’s an incredible honor to be such a big part of Eddie’s journey and to once again be keeping company with all of the other amazing artists featured in the show.”

Metallica will be performing at Lollapalooza tomorrow night, and Hulu subscribers will be able to livestream the event at no additional cost.
