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.

New year, new series: Didn't Go Platinum returns to look at more unloved and underrated metal albums, and we're starting off with some vegetarian death metal.
Host Tim Bolitho-Jones is joined by Ebony Jeanette to discuss The Harvest Floor, the 2009 release by Cattle Decapitation. This album has gone overlooked in favour of their later work, but is an important transitional work and a major piece of the Cattle Decapitation puzzle. Discover why it deserves more love.
There's also a brief chat about their very first release, the all-but-forgotten demo Ten Torments Of The Damned.
You can find Ebony on her home website and if you're a parent, be sure to check out her recently released metal-themed colouring book.
I can also recommend her guide to surviving the Music PR Industry, and not just because it has a shark on the cover.
