Blackened power metal soloist Sofia Frasz of EXILED HOPE has partnered up with STEEL FORGE for the release of their mythical EP, Realm Of The Exiled, available January 10th, 2025.

Realm Of The Exiled follows the return of Hope’s journey in a fiery underworld. Hope, the protagonist of EXILED HOPE’s previous albums, goes through a cinematic battle with new character and confidant, The Forger, to return to the mortal world. In this six song EP, a melting pot of melodeath, black metal, doom metal and folk influences will enchant your ears.
