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.

Is it metalcore or is it melodic death metal? Either way, it's Deliver Us, the fifth album by the eternally underrated Darkest Hour.
Regular host Tim Bolitho-Jones is joined by Brother John of the Menn Metal Mayhem podcast for a deep dive into this high-velocity slice of angry, but also kinda sad, American metal. This mid-2000's gem was excellent, but never got the credit it deserved. Let's find out (or at least, theorise) why.
You can find Brother John and the rest of the Menn Metal Mayhem podcast online on Spotify and Instagram.
