Blackened power metal soloist EXILED HOPE is stretching her symphonic metal wings with her new track “Over For You”. The anthem, constructed by multi-instrumental mastermind Sofia Frasz, is off of her upcoming album Apocrypha, launching April 11th, 2025.
Sofia comments “My lyric videos started as an easy way to generate promotional content, but they quickly turned into a way to showcase each song’s personality and story through subtle details and by putting the focus on the lyrics. By adding small effects such as changes in lighting throughout the video and flowers falling from the trees featured in the 500-year-old cover artwork, I was able to make the song feel more alive and atmospheric, and highlight the fact that it’s one of the more uplifting songs on the album. I want to create a cinematic/soundtrack-like effect with my music, and adding subtle visuals that enhance the feeling without distracting from the lyrics was an easy way to accomplish that.”

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.
