Einar Solberg of Leprous – launches ‘Liberatio’; third single taken from his forthcoming new album ‘Vox Occulta’

Einar Solberg of Leprous recently announced his upcoming second solo album ‘Vox Occulta’, due for release on 24^thApril, 2026. A bold, heavy and symphonic statement, the album was recorded in collaboration with the much-sought-after Norwegian Radio Orchestra.

Einar has been busy on tour with Leprous over the last month, but not one to rest on his laurels, he is now launching a video for the third single from ‘Vox Occulta’. Titled ‘Liberatio’, Einar explains: “Liberatio begins with an unconventional string melody against a heavy drum and guitar foundation. Gradually it opens up into a freer, more expansive and catchy chorus. It’s relatively uplifting by my standards.”

As well as the beautiful orchestration, Einar is joined by drummer Keli Guðjónsson (Agent Fresco), violinist Chris Baum (Bent Knee), guitarist Pierre Danel (Novelists) & bassist Jed Lingat, as well as guitarists Ben Levin (ex-Bent Knee) & John Browne (Monuments). The album was mixed by Adam Noble (Nothing But Thieves, Biffy Clyro) & co-produced with David Castillo.

The album sees Solberg taking a deeply personal approach, having been an avid fan of classical music and soundtracks for more than 20 years. The lyrics are personal as well, and they make ‘Vox Occulta’ something of a thematic follow-up to ‘16’. Where Solberg’s solo debut revisited the death of his father and his past struggles with anxiety, this set is a warts’n’all portrait of himself and how he views the world in 2026.

‘Vox Occulta’ will be released as a Limited CD Digipak, Gatefold white/black 2LP & a very limited Gatefold transparent red 2LP, as well as digitally. Pre-order now here: https://einarsolberg-artist.lnk.to/VoxOcculta-Album
