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.

Who wants to take a good look at my jars? Didn't Go Platinum takes a trip into a serial killer's basement to discuss Nightbringers, the fantastic eighth album by The Black Dahlia Murder.
Regular host Tim Bolitho-Jones is joined by Jimi of the Bangers & Mosh podcast to talk about a mutual favourite. Nightbringers might be a later addition to The Black Dahlia's canon, but it's arguably their best work. Yes, even better than the one that you like best.
So join us as we find out the difference between Orc and Goblin vocalists and consider our favourite zombie-themed metal songs. We are the Kings of the Nightworld.
Well, we're not, but the band is.
You can find Jimi and his excellent podcast on Spotify, Instagram, and numerous other places.
