If you’re poking around Astra Malorum in Black Ops 7 Zombies, you already know Treyarch can’t resist hiding a music Easter Egg. It’s one of those little traditions that turns a decent run into a memorable one, especially if you’re also chasing camo progress or warming up in a CoD BO7 Bot Lobby before you dive into full chaos. This map’s secret track is “Magic” with Avenged Sevenfold, and yeah, it hits hard once you finally trigger it.

What you’re actually looking for

The trigger is simple on paper: three small headphone interactables. In practice, they’re easy to miss because you’re rarely strolling around calmly. My advice is boring but real—leave yourself a crawler or thin the round first. You’re not hunting collectibles in a quiet campaign mission; you’re doing it while everything wants to slap you off the map.

1) The Luminarium headphone

Start with the one you can grab early. Head into The Luminarium and push toward the northeast corner. There’s an empty bookshelf area that’s darker than it needs to be, and that’s why people run past it. Check the bottom shelf and you should see the headphone tucked in near the corner. Tap it and don’t overthink it.

2) Machina Astralis bottom floor

Next, move over to Machina Astralis. Go down to the bottom floor and hug the southwestern wall like you’re avoiding line of sight. You’re looking for a display cabinet set into that side. It’s close to the door that leads toward the Cryo Chamber path from the Main Quest. The headphone is inside the cabinet—interact, confirm the pickup, keep moving.

Why the third one trips people up

The last headphone isn’t just “somewhere on the map.” It’s locked behind Main Quest progress, and that’s the catch. You’ve got to reach Step 7, the part where you align the planets inside Machina Astralis. People try to brute-force the hunt earlier and waste a ton of time. Gear up first, because this is the point where your run can go sideways fast.

3) The Mars headphone and the song payoff

Once the planets are aligned, you’ll get teleported to Mars. When you spawn, don’t get distracted staring out the windows. Look to the right of the northeastern window and scan the ground. There’s a bit of stone rubble there, and the final headphone sits right on it. Interact with it and “Magic” kicks in immediately—perfect for mowing down a wave while you’re trying not to get boxed in, and if you’re the kind of player who likes to dial in reps through cheap CoD BO7 Bot Lobbies it’s the same vibe of settling into a rhythm, just with a lot more screaming undead.
