We're travelling into space with the Mechanicus Cult on the latest episode of Didn't Go Platinum. Regular host Tim Bolitho-Jones is joined by the returning Fae Scott Dench (aka the Death Metal Mum) to discuss Labyrinth by Dissentient.

This hour-long slice of highly technical, futuristic death metal is barely mentioned outside some very small circles, but it's excellent. Dissentient are Canada's unsung heroes of future death and Labyrinth is a blast. Find out why.

You can find Fae on Instagram and discover more about her own podcast here.

And of course, check out Labyrinth by Dissentient (not Dissentient by Labyrinth as Tim mistakenly calls it at one point) on Bandcamp.

It's another special episode! Hardcore expert Ellis Heasley returns to Didn't Go Platinum to discuss this year's Outbreak Festival with Tim and talk about which bands you can't afford to miss.

Over the course of an hour, they give shoutouts to bands like Converge, Dynamite, Fiddlehead, Ingrown, Harm's Way, Sanction, Gridiron, Suicidal Tendencies, Hatebreed, and many others. They also give a brief history of Outbreak, and get excited about vegan brownies.

You can learn more about Outbreak, discover the full line-up, and arrange your trip to the UK's premier hardcore festival at their official website. It takes place on the 26th - 28th June at the B.E.C. Arena in Manchester.

It's a special episode of the Didn't Go Platinum podcast, as Tim is joined by Dr Hell and Count Gravedigga of Evil Scarecrow for a trip to the cinema! We're revisiting the soundtrack to Last Action Hero, the cult classic Arnold Schwarzenegger movie from 1993.

With a host of artists on the track list, including AC/DC, Cypress Hill, Queensryche, Alice In Chains, and Anthrax (kinda), this soundtrack is a snapshot of nineties alt-music. Hard rock, rap, and thrash metal sit side-by-side as Arnie delivers one-liners, bad guys get gunned down, and Charles Dance portrays a character so evil, he'd make Tywin Lannister wince.

And along the way, we discover the origin of the word 'wanker.'

There are a few tangents in this episode.
