Didn't Go Platinum goes all grim and frostbitten as we head into winter. Regular host Tim Bolitho-Jones is joined by Brother Paul of the Menn Metal Mayhem podcast to discuss Heaven That Dwells Within by Wormwitch.

This Canadian band delivered the goods on their stunning second album, but for some reason never got the credit they deserved. Maybe it's because Canada isn't the place folks look for their black metal? On this episode, Tim and Paul take a deep dive into a freezing, but surprisingly fun slice of black 'n' roll.

Listen to heavy metal.

Didn't Go Platinum wanders back into the metalcore realm. For this episode, we're taking a deep dive into All Hail by Norma Jean. The Georgia veterans were among the first wave of metalcore bands to threaten the mainstream, but have tended to be overshadowed by their more famous peers. All Hail is their eighth full-length album, and it's a cracker.

This record was suggested by the horror writer Molly Macabre, who joins regular host Tim Bolitho-Jones to discuss why All Hail might have got lost in the mix. Along the way, the duo also talk about the practicalities of fighting zombies with a nailgun and precisely what the difference is between regular and Christian metalcore. Slight spoiler: it's Christianity.

You can find more about Molly and her work at her official website, and check out her books on Goodreads.

Didn't Go Platinum dives into the British metal underground of the 2000s, to discuss a band that scared the living daylights out of Tim when he was a fresh-faced, wide-eyed young metalhead: it's Mistress and their excellent third album, In Disgust We Trust.

Joining him for this foray into filth is none other than Jon Rhodes of Rotherham's finest sludge maestros, Swamp Coffin. They discuss the rather frayed relationship between Mistress and their record label, the grimy appeal of the UK scene, and how a certain black metal band are reminiscent of In The Night Garden.
