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.

Didn't Go Platinum travels to a futuristic hellscape filled with Hunter Killer Robots! For this episode, we're looking at Archetype by Fear Factory.

Tim is joined by the returning Lindsay from The Heavy Metal Journal to discuss what could be considered as the "lost Fear Factory album." It's usually overlooked in favour of the band's three classics (Demanufacture, Obsolete, and Mechanize), but it's chock full of industrial metal bangers and deserves more.

You can follow Lindsay on Instagram and find The Heavy Metal Journal on YouTube.
