Metallica and Stranger Things have teamed up to launch a new line of merch called 'Hellfire Club'.
The collaborative line features Metallica branded white and black jersey, a black T-shirt and a black hoodie, all with Hellfire Club artwork.
The collaborative drop was inspired by the renewed popularity Master Of Puppets has received thanks to that now iconic Eddie Munson shredding scene in season four of Stranger Things.
Metallica released a statement with the new merch line on Twitter.
"We’re having the most metal meeting ever of The Hellfire Club so we’re scouting out “lost sheep” and outsiders to join. Do you think you have what it takes? Then suit up!"

The Metallica Hellfire Club items are on sale now via Metallica's website and Netflix.
Metallica have also shared a video of them meeting the actor who plays Eddie Munson in the series Joseph Quinn at a recent concert.
36 years after releasing Master Of Puppets Metallica also recently issued an official lyric video for the iconic track. The first official music video for Master Of Puppets of any kind was animated by ILOVEDUST and it is a trippy delight, perfect for projecting onto a wall at a Stranger Things-themed party.
One of the hottest metal songs on the planet, thanks to a Stranger Things-led revival, Master Of Puppets has captured a new generation of metalheads since it was featured prominently in the popular Netflix show.
In other Master of Puppets and Stranger Things-related news, Trivium and Ibaraki frontman Matt Heafy and YouTube metal mashup monolith Anthony Vincent have joined forces on a video so metal it will tear you asunder. The two metal titans have teamed up to mash the two biggest beneficiaries of the 'Stranger Things bump', Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) by Kate Bush and Master Of Puppets by Metallica into an 80s thrash anthem. Unsurprisingly, given the interpretive talent of the talents in question, it rules, with the track ripping harder than Eddie Munson. Check out their version of the song, which also features Steve Terreberry below.
Speaking of Anthony Vincent, he has gone and turned Master Of Puppets into a classic in 50 different genres! That's right, the mad genius behind the Ten Second Songs series is back doing what he does best, reinterpreting music and his latest video Master Of Puppets in 50 Styles is a masterpiece. The multi-instrumentalist superstar repurposes Master Of Puppets as a genre-crossing megamix, featuring passages in the style of a diverse array of acts including David Bowie, James Brown, Culture Club, Daft Punk, Dir En Gray, Dream Theater, Fugees, Megadeth, King Diamond, The Kinks, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Misfits, Pentatonix, Queen, Sabaton, Spiritbox, The Weeknd and more.
