The series finale of Stranger Things arrived just in time for the end of the year, and it didn’t come without a tribute to Eddie Munson and the Hellfire Club. If you haven’t seen the finale yet and want to avoid spoilers, it’s best to just rewatch the trailer below and then head straight to Netflix.

However, if you’re curious which Iron Maiden song made it into not only the final episode of Season 5 but the entire series, you can find out here. As none other than Dustin Henderson gives a speech at Hawkins High School, the iconic Iron Maiden anthem “The Trooper” can be heard, while Dustin reveals his “Hellfire Lives!” T-shirt underneath his graduation gown.

Iron Maiden themselves commented on this moment with a post on social media:

“‘Stranger Things’ HAS happened… and Eddie got his moment!”

Back in Season 4, Eddie Munson had his unforgettable moment with Metallica’s “Master Of Puppets”—now Dustin has paid him the perfect metal tribute.
