EXILED HOPE, the project of multi-instrumentalist Sofia Frasz has released a lyric video for her track “Altar of Moloch”. The song, which is from her upcoming album Apocrypha, is a chilling blend of black metal and doom. Sofia comments “’Altar Of Moloch’ presents a long-winded metaphor for the realization that there are dark forces in this world that will try to control you and push you to betray yourself because “that’s just how life is”. Don’t give up your childlike sense of wonder simply because the world can be harsh; draw upon your longing for something greater and better, and use it to create a better future going forward. But at all costs, don’t give in to those around you who try to convince you that there’s nothing better worth creating.” Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/Nk0ruV4Y01c Apocrypha will be released on April 11th, 2025. 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 worldbuilding, 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.
