“Exiled Hope once again demonstrates an immense amount of talent, variety and creativity across the whole of Apocrypha. Vocally impressive, with plenty of hard hitting riffs, beats and stunning orchestration, there is a lot to like and a lot of replayability here.” – GBHBL
“Apocrypha is a prime example of an artist who’s taken years of refinement, honing skills, and learning from past mistakes to create something truly special. Sofia’s evolution as a composer and performer is evident in the album’s stunning mix of complexity and sound. Apocrypha is a journey, and it’s one worth taking.” – Amplify The Noise
EXILED HOPE, the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Sofia Frasz, has finally unleashed her highly anticipated new album Apocrypha on all streaming platforms.
Along with the album release, Sofia has also released a lyric video for her epic track “The Day Will Come”.
Sofia comments,“‘The Day Will Come’ was inspired by Kamelot’s gentler moments (see ‘Sacrimony’ and ‘My Confession’) and a melody that I woke up with one day and couldn’t get out of my head. The song lulls the listener back into the gentler aspects of my style, but keeps an undercurrent of suspense lurking throughout. The protagonist expresses his reservations about advancing through the ranks of the cult that rules the city to a superior member of the cult, who assures him that they will welcome him with open arms… with a catch.”

About EXILED HOPE:
Multi-instrumentalist Sofia Frasz established EXILED HOPE in 2019, and draws musical inspiration from the likes of AVANTASIA, NIGHTWISH, KAMELOT and CRADLE OF FILTH to name a few. EXILED HOPE’s releases all take place in the same fictional universe and combine to form a dark fantasy metal opera. Each album centers on a character dealing with both an internal and external conflict in this world, and the lyrics explore how they navigate those conflicts. This is intended to provide some kind of escapism through the lyrical world building, while still keeping the songs grounded in real, relatable emotions despite their fantastical setup. EXILED HOPE is working towards the next album, Apocrypha, due to be released April 11th, 2025. Through EXILED HOPE, Sofia has composed music for two short films, Hallowed Paths and What Happens After Midnight, and has collaborated with UK melodeath outfit STEEL FORGE.
