Baggies were originally sealed by metal wire that was enclosed in paper, also called twist-ties. Previous to twist-ties haggles were sealed by folding over the edges.
It is Tungsten metal which has highest Melting point among metals and therefore used in electric bulbs.
Photographic portraits were originally printed on tin that had an emulsion applied to make it sensitive to light. They were called Tintypes.
They were originally a Black Metal spinoff. Now, their music is more Industrial/Electronica.
