EXILED HOPE, the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Sofia Frasz, has unleashed a lyric video for her track “The Summoning”, a haunting track that mixes haunting gothic melodies with black metal. The song is taken from her highly anticipated upcoming album Apocrypha which is set to see a digital release on April 11th, 2025.
Sofia comments, “I got very artsy with the lyric video for “The Summoning”. I use different effects at specific points in the video to emphasize the contrast between the softer and harsher parts of the song. My music is all about contrast, and this unconventional blend of keyboards and black metal is no exception.”

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.
