Didn't Go Platinum
Podcast Description
Didn't Go Platinum is the podcast that looks at the unloved and the overlooked from the world of heavy metal. We ignore the classics and instead, focus on the lesser-discussed gems. Whether it's a rarely mentioned entry from giants like Iron Maiden, or a relatively obscure British thrash band's forgotten comeback, we're interested. Where other metal podcasts look at Rust In Peace, Painkiller and Number Of The Beast, we'd rather discuss Five Serpents' Teeth and Dance Of Death.

It's another double feature on the Didn't Go Platinum podcast. Tim is joined by Tom Dunt and Chris Taylor of the fantastic post-hardcore band Compounds to discuss two of their favourite underrated albums.
First up, we explore Reuben's Very Fast, Very Dangerous album, which seems to have lived forever in the shadow of its big brother, Racecar Is Racecar Backwards. Next, we're engaging the hyperdrive and chasing Captain Spectacular through space, with Devin Townsend's Ziltoid The Omniscient.
Along the way, we discuss our histories with both albums and why we love them, and find out why My Chemical Romance are the Pokémon of emo bands. Join us! We looked up how to put an accent on the e and everything.
