from The Distorted Dialogue Podcast · host Metal Institute of Thrashology

On Episode 19 of the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, Sofia Frasz stops by, the brains behind the solo project Exiled Hope. We talk about the newest album, Apocrypha, which is a Blackened Progressive metal album, with heavy doom influences, and she did everything on the album guitars, vocals, bass, everything, which gives a great cohesion through the whole thing. We discuss the level of dedication that she puts into everything, from the album, to her studies, and how she manages to balance it all is beyond me. She also expands on where her influences come from, and no wonder I like her music, she likes the same stuff as me. Listen here, and then go check out her music. I really had a great time talking to Sofia and want to thank her for taking time out, as she probably doesn't have much free time. 🎙️ Distorted Dialogue | A Podcast from The Metal Institute of Thrashology 🤘Welcome to Distorted Dialogue, the official podcast of The Metal Institute of Thrashology — where riffs meet ridiculousness and academia bows before the almighty arpeggio.Each episode dives deep, headfirst into the chaotic realms of metal, punk, hardcore, and beyond with band members, scene lifers, and other unholy scholars of sound. Expect unfiltered, uncensored conversations, deep dives into underground music, and enough sarcasm and sonic blasphemy to earn us a few detention sessions in hell.Whether it is Thrash or Metalcore, Doom to Death and everything in between, if it’s heavy chances are you can find it here. Interviews with artists, tech’s, and other members of the music industry, nothing is off limits, and same goes for the chats!
