About this listen
Didn't Go Platinum takes a trip to Birmingham, a city with a rich heavy metal history, and discovers one of the unsung heroes of sludge metal. Slab were three local lads who delivered an unholy amalgamation of big riffs, gnarly vocals and intense drumming, but who seem to have been largely ignored outside of their immediate scene. Their Megafaunal Genocide album is a dark and uncompromising listen, but it doesn't deserve to be lost to history.
Joining regular host Tim Bolitho-Jones for this voyage through the Midlands is Eradikator guitarist Andy MacNevin, and the duo discuss Slab's role in their local scene, their place in the wider metal landscape, and asks the big question; is it better to treat a band as a hobby than as a career?
Andy also explains that playing solo acoustic guitar while a bride walks down the aisle is the single most terrifying gig a musician can ever play.
