Alice In Chains are currently marking the 30th anniversary of their Jar Of Flies EP with a range of merchandise that includes a skateboard, a poker set, and a plushie combo celebrating the track Whale & Wasp. Most excitingly, they're also releasing a limited edition vinyl edition of the EP which contains actual dead flies embedded in the vinyl.
The fly vinyl was manufactured by Indianapolis-based vinyl mavericks Romanus Records, who have a history with this sort of thing. Last year they released a maggot-filled vinyl album for local punk outfit Pat & The Pissers, while other records have been filled with sand, razor blades, Doritos, brick dust, leaves, marigold flowers, blood and scorpions. Romanus are also responsible for a lathe-cut limited edition for Nashville duo Volk made out of real snakeskin.
