It's a special crossover episode is what it is! Didn't Go Platinum host Tim Bolitho-Jones is joined by Jimi and Dazz from the Bangers & Mosh podcast to talk about couple of their favourite albums that nobody else seems to like.

We take a look at Slither, the controversial fourth record from metalcore legends Earth Crisis, and Check Your People, an underrated gem from rap-metal heroes Downset. Both of these albums come from an interesting period in heavy music history, and examine why these two bands were unfairly maligned. And in honour of the sadly-absent Defa, we also take a brief look at his choice; SYL by Strapping Young Lad. Join us!

It's time for a retro deep dive on the Didn't Go Platinum podcast. Regular host Tim Bolitho-Jones is joined by rock journalist Naomi Sanders to discuss Witchcraft Destroys Minds And Reap Souls, the controversial debut album by Satanic prog-rockers Coven.

Released all the way back in February 1969, this is one of rock history's greatest 'What If' stories. Witchcraft Reaps Minds... predates the first Black Sabbath album, but was pulled from sale in the midst of a wider Satanic panic in US culture. This album wasn't officially released for decades and was only available as a bootleg, but went on to have a massive influence on artists like Nirvana and King Diamond.

Tim and Naomi explore the history of the band, discuss what may have happened if Coven had been as popular as Black Sabbath, and explore the legacy of an album that never really got its due.

Didn't Go Platinum welcomes Matt Hudson of Battle Born and Metaprism back for his second episode in a row and this time, we're discussing the exceptional Curse And Chapter by Hell.

A cult band from the latter years of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, Hell's career was cut tragically short and they looked to be lost forever, until Andy Sneap resurrected them in the mid-2000's. Their subsequent second era was relatively short lived but yielded two fantastic albums, although only their debut tended to get much attention.

And that's a crying shame, because Curse And Chapter is phenomenal. In this episode, we take a look at the band's history, discuss the individual songs, Tim tells a story about Andy Sneap signing his baby daughter, and there's even a brief moment where we ask the eternal question; what would it be like to live next door to 5ive?
