Einar Solberg reveals details of his second solo album “Vox Occulta” – new single available with video

The release date of Leprous singer Einar Solberg‘s second solo album, “Vox Occulta,” is set for April 24, as per theprp. On several tracks on that record, Solberg collaborates with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra and other musicians. The album announcement is accompanied with a music video for the song “Medulla,” which was directed by Leo Liberti.

‘Medulla‘ started with a riff. I had just picked up an 8-string plugin, and it immediately led me to that main idea. As soon as it came together, I knew it had weight.

It felt physical — like something you feel in your bones rather than just hear. That’s where the idea of marrow came in. The song is about the part of me that stayed strong through everything I’ve been through. No matter what happened around it, the core held.

There’s no full orchestra on this track, but it still has a cinematic edge. Chris Baum added real strings, and Keli [Guðjónsson], Pierre Danel, and Jed Lingat bring the song to life on drums, guitar, and bass.

The album was mixed by Adam Noble (Nothing But Thieves, Biffy Clyro) and co-produced by David Castillo and Solberg. The LP also features guitars Ben Levin (formerly of Bent Knee), Pierre Danel (Novelists), and John Browne (Monuments).

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.
