Trve. Cvlt. Pop!

Metal Hammer's Merlin Alderslade joins Steve to react to the news of Ozzy Osbourne's passing.

Welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the pop... sorry, the heavy metal music podcast, for a week anyway.

On this epiosde Metal Hammer's own Rich Hobson is in the hot seat with Steve as Gaz continues to recover, and he has been a busy boy! Travelling around the globe to watch all the live music he can stuff into his greedy ear. Including the last ever Black Sabbath show at Villa Park and the 2000 Trees festival. He reviews both, before we get into our main point of conversation.

Since their formation in the year 1981, Birmingham noise terrorists Napalm Death have been the most reliable and experimental of all of the extreme metal legends. There's been line up changes, sonic deviations into all manner of new sounds, highs, lows and everything in between. But here we delve into every single one of their 16 studio albums and pick our favourite song from it. Hopefully, giving you a guided tour of one of the most important bands in heavy music history.

There's also a few new musical recommendations, from Blood Vulture, Barry Can't Swim, Jessica Winter, Clipse and Bully.

Welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! it's the polyjamorous... nah, it's not... it's a music podcast.

On this week's show, Sam is here and we look at the slew of music biopics that have been released over the last couple of decades, and show no sign of stopping, and ask; why are they so bad?

From a shy Freddie Mercury with awful false teeth to a mockney Amy Winehouse getting blamed for her drug addiction, music biopics almost universally miss the entire purpose of what made their intended subject matter so special, and instead rely on cliches, formulaic structures, surface level performances and watered down versions of events.

Here, we look at the problems with the genre, what can be done to improve them, what we fear is coming next and a couple of our own pitches that Hollywood might just want to consider picking up.

There's also some new music recommendations and a lost banger from the past by Oxidde and Neutrino to chat about.

It's a bonus Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Steve is here to give you a run down of this weekends events in Cardiff and London as he witnessed the return of Brit-pop legends Oasis and thrash metal royalty Slayer

Hey there, welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the music podcast.

On this week's show two giants of the festival season face off, and so do two... not actually giants of the podcast world.

The lads Dave and Krister from the Pop, Collaborate and Listen podcast are back as we look at the last weekend and compare and contrast Download 2025 and the London iteration of Outbreak.

It's festival vs. festival; Green Day vs. Turnstile, queues for Knocked Loose vs. queues for President, sunshine and beer vs. sunshine and tequila cocktails. Who comes out on top?!

OLA! It's a little bonus Trve. Cvlt. Pop! for yo' ears! Steve has just

returned from this years Download Festival, review coming this week, but as it was his 15th experience of rock and metal's biggest weekend here in the UK, it's time to take a trip down memory lane and rank all of them from worst to best.

It's time for us all to enjoy another Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, it's a music podcast!

On this week's show, Steve and Gaz get hoping mad, and they're not going to take it any more! As we head back into the A-Z of Atrocities, serving up some verbal beatdowns to our own particular pet peeves in the world of music from the letter U, V and W.

Expect fury at fan voted lists, the frustrating world of River Cuomo post-1996, band's changing their line ups too much and a certain band giving you a free album in your I-Tunes back in 2014... yeah, that ol' chestnut.

Plus we pay our respects to a true legend of pop culture, Sly Stone whose spectacular life ended this week at the age of 82. But what a legacy he leaves behind.
