Heavy Music Easter Eggs In TV & Movies

Easter eggs are a massive obsession in pop culture. Whether it’s a comic reference in a superhero movie, notable cameos, or even subtle nods to other movies that inspired its inception, people love a good Easter egg. There are even entire YouTube channels dedicated to breaking down Easter eggs in our favorite TV shows & movies. That’s why I’m here to talk about Easter eggs in popular TV shows & movies from bands who are not mainstream acts (At least not at the time).

When Logan & Laura make it to the Munson residence, in Nate’s room you can see posters for All Shall Perish, Dr. Acula, and Suicide Silence. When speaking to Ben Orum, the guitarist of All Shall Perish, I learned a fan was a set designer & snuck in the posters to make these amazing Easter eggs possible. Many fans spotted it when Logan hit theaters, that’s how the band found out.

When I spoke with Seth Stone, the singer of Aenimus, he said, “The company Little Punk People were in charge of picking out the artwork for that specific room. So they went with bands from Nuclear Blast and Metal Blade Records.” The band found out after fans started tagging them in photos from the official trailer.
