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.
