Didn't Go Platinum returns and this time, we're getting a crash course in Tolkien. Host Tim Bolitho-Jones is joined by Captain Davey Silver of the fantastic Red Rum, to discuss Blind Guardian's Nightfall In Middle Earth.

This late nineties album is revered by power metal afficionados, but hasn't quite managed the sort of crossover success that their later efforts. It's fantastic, but why do Blind Guardian remain relatively niche in the English-speaking world when they're so popular in mainland Europe?

The lads discuss this and more, as well as making a heartfelt tribute to the Godfather Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on the day of recording.
