TIL there's a company in Indiana that makes custom vinyl records for bands that contain things like liquid and sand (and even weirder stuff) inside two sides of a transparent playable 33 1/3 disc. (romanusrecords.com)

They did a blood-filled record for Motley Crüe, a fly-filled record for Alice in Chains, a ring-filled record for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie soundtrack and other weird stuff. One even has scorpions inside it!

A balancing act that’s gotten the attention of some well-known recording artists including Alice & Chains, Motley Crue and Fall Out Boy, who sent Banta a vial of the band members’ actual tears.

“It's absolutely wild being sent that in the mail,” Banta said. “I took their tears and I diluted them across like 50 records. They didn't tell me they were sending it. I almost threw it away because I didn't even know what was in it.”

Gawdtdamn that's metal as fuck.
