Exiled Hope Releases Power Metal Anthem "Lightborn"

EXILED HOPE, the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Sofia Frasz has released her anthemic power metal song "Lightborn". The song is taken from her upcoming concept album Apocrypha, which is due to be released on April 11th 2025. Apocrypha tells the story from the eyes of one who could be Hope’s enemy… but will he join forces with her or will he succumb to temptations that abound on his side?

Sofia comments, "This was the last song I recorded for the album, and it’s one of my favorites that I’ve ever recorded in terms of melody and structure. I composed and recorded the entire song in about 4 hours the weekend before the 2nd year of law school started. It’s a little more stripped-down and less nuanced than many of the other songs on the album, but that allows the melody room to breathe and carry the story forward. “Lightborn” is simultaneously optimistic and regretful, with one foot planted firmly in “I’m sorry” and the other rooted in “…but together, we can survive anything if we can learn to forgive each other and conquer our own flaws.”
