Five Songs I’m Obsessed With [8/3 – 8/9]
The Mostly Music Podcast, Ep. 8: Hex Divided 101
My most recent interview was with the French metal artist Hex Divided. We talked about his influences, the five riffs that define him, his musical history, and so much more. (In fact, there will eventually be extras from this one; I cut out a lot of our more casual conversation for the initial upload.)
Please check out the interview, and if you enjoy it, subscribe to my podcast. There’s a lot to come over the next couple of months!
Female-Fronted Friday: Velcara
When: Formed earlier, circa 2024, but didn’t debut their first single until 2026
Where: New York, Maryland, Massachusetts
Genre: Modern metal/Metalcore
FFO: Spiritbox, I Prevail, Poppy
Velcara has existed in some form for a couple of years, yet they did not unleash their debut single, “Fury,” until January 2026. Since then, the band has released two more songs, “Green-Eyed Suicide” and “Lunacy.” The members are vocalist Janel Monique (formerly of Conquer Divide), drummer Luka Stinar, guitarist Nick Palma, and bassist Kenjamin Smiertelny.
Velcara are still writing, gearing up to share new music and eventually bring all their hard work to the stage! Check them out below and be sure to follow their socials so you don’t miss any updates!
