Didn't Go Platinum is off to Orange County, California. Regular host Tim Bolitho-Jones is joined by Jordan Gaw, singer for rising American metallers Against The Grave, to dress up like Spartans and discuss Declaration by Bleeding Through.

Upon its release, the band was engaged in a very public feud with their record label. However, this controversy appears to have overshadowed the music itself. Declaration is really bloody good.

The lads do a deep dive into this oft-overlooked metalcore album and explain why it deserves to be rediscovered. Plus, Tim makes an absolutely massive factual error about Corrosion Of Conformity, which we're all going to politely ignore. We shan't be telling Metal Hammer about that now, shall we?

You can check out Against The Grave on Instagram and listen to their music on Spotify.

You can also follow Didn't Go Platinum on Instagram and Threads at @dngplatinum or check out Tim's Substack.

And of course, check out Declaration by Bleeding Through on Spotify.

Stay positive, stay metal.
