Didn't Go Platinum takes a trip to Italy to discover a forgotten classic from the world of power metal. Regular host Tim Bolitho-Jones is joined by Alterium singer Nicoletta Rosellini to talk about Forgotten Beholder, by Etherna.

This Tuscany-based band were active for a few years during the mid-2000's and released a couple of albums, but have been relatively quiet for a while now. Forgotten Beholder is their second - and to date, final - record, and is a very enjoyable slice of power metal with a progressive edge.

It's a trip down memory lane in the latest episode of the Didn't Go Platinum podcast. Regular host Tim Bolitho-Jones revisits an old favourite from his university years; Road To Bloodshed, by Sanctity.

He's joined by Direwolf frontman Taylor Sheasgreen to discuss the record in depth. Nowadays, Sanctity are probably best known for featuring Machine Head bassist Jared MacEachern on guitar and vocals, but their sole full-length deserves more attention. It's a rapid fire assault of riffs, melodies, big choruses and comes across like a modern update on classic Bay Area thrash metal.

The lads discuss their own experiences with the album, their favourite songs, and explore why it might not have found a wider audience. Join us!

Didn't Go Platinum is going where owls don't know our name! Regular host Tim Bolitho-Jones is joined by the Heavy Metal Philosopher himself, Mr. Jon Barbas, to discuss The Work by Rivers Of Nihil.

This was the fourth album by the ground-breaking death metal band and one of Jon's favourite records. We take a deep dive into the themes it presents and its place in the band's history, as well as telling our own personal stories about work, life, prog music, and everything else.

The Work is loved by critics but divided the band's fanbase. Join us as we explore why it might be Rivers Of Nihil's masterpiece.
