Stranger Things Season 4 brought Metallica’s legendary 1986 song “Master of Puppets” back into the mainstream, landing it in Spotify’s Top 50 charts! But some fans weren’t too happy about it, which inspired me to post this 8-bit chiptune version using classic retro computing technology.

Listen to this 8-bit chiptune cover of Metallica’s "Master of Puppets"!

Chiptunes (also known as chip music or 8-bit music) is a style of electronic music created using vintage arcade machines, computers like the Commodore 64 and Apple II, and classic video game consoles. It uses Programmable Sound Generator (PSG) chips to produce that nostalgic retro gaming sound.

If you’re a fan of Stranger Things, Metallica, or retro gaming music, you’ll love this chiptune tribute!
