Abrogation Release second single & lyric video “Spieglein, Spieglein” featuring special guest singer Jyl

German melodic death metal band ABROGATION unveil their second single “Spieglein, Spieglein”, taken from the upcoming studio album “Widerschein”, set for release on April 10, 2026 [new release date!] via Massacre Records.

Following the powerful and cinematic first single “Morgenrot”, the band now present one of the album’s most intense and emotionally layered compositions, accompanied by a striking lyric video.

“Spieglein, Spieglein” marks the first of three songs on “Widerschein” featuring the remarkable guest vocalist Jyl, whose expressive and haunting performance adds a dramatic new dimension to the band’s sound. Her vocal presence deepens the internal dialogue at the heart of the track, creating a gripping contrast between fragility and cruelty.

The song unfolds as a melodramatic inner confrontation between vulnerability and the harsh façade built to conceal weakness. As the tension escalates, the narrative spirals toward inevitable self-destruction - a theme mirrored in the dynamic interplay between melodic intensity and crushing riffs.

Musically, “Spieglein, Spieglein” highlights ABROGATION’s evolution on “Widerschein”: tighter structures, heightened emotional depth and an expanded sonic palette, while staying firmly rooted in their melodic death metal identity.

With “Widerschein”, ABROGATION continue to refine their sound, shaped by an extensive songwriting and pre-production process. Mixed by Ricardo Borges and Jens Bogren and mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios, the album delivers a modern and powerful production that amplifies both its emotional and musical weight.
