Stockholm’s black/death metal outfit Speglas has announced their forthcoming debut album, “Endarkenment, Being & Death”, set for release on February 27th, 2026, via Trust No One Recordings.
Alongside the announcement, the band has unveiled the first single, “The Spirit Postmortem”, giving listeners an early taste of the album’s dark, immersive sound.
Listen to “The Spirit Postmortem” below.
Vocalist and guitarist Isak Rosemarin shares: “‘The Spirit Postmortem’ is not only a track from the album, but also part of the albums overarching concept, influenced by Nietzschean philosophy. The song takes the idea of the death of the collective human spirit, the collapse of meaning and the fading drive to move forward and upward, and mirrors it to the biological stages of the dying human body. Sonically, it has a melancholic and desperate feel to it, while being driving, intense and aggressive”.
Tracklist:
1. Woe
2. The Endarkenment
3. Incessant Severance
4. Dearth
5. The Spirit Postmortem
6. Ailing
7. Hitherto Awry
8. Rage Upon the Dying Fire
Formed in 2015, Speglas has always operated with a singular aim: to fuse the visceral intensity of black and death metal with the driving force and melodic weight of classic heavy metal. The result is a sound that is raw, fierce, and atmospheric – yet unexpectedly heartfelt, vulnerable, and even empowering. Their so far released EPs – “Birth, Dreams & Death” (2015, Imperium) and “Time, Futility & Death” (2022, Pulverised) – already hinted at a band unafraid to wander beyond genre boundaries. With their forthcoming debut, Speglas refine that vision into something even more nuanced and personal.
The band’s lineup consists of vocalist and guitarist Isak Rosemarin (Sweven, ex-Morbus Chron, ex-Century), drummer Jesper Nyrelius (Sweven), guitarist Alexi Hedlund, and newly added bassist Victor Berg (New Keepers of the Water Towers). With Victor’s arrival completing the lineup, Speglas are now gearing up to bring their dark, immersive sound to the stage in support of the album’s release.
The album was mixed by Simon Söderberg (Ghost, Henrik Palm) at Studio Mayfire and mastered by Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna, Ulcerate, Russian Circles etc). Pre-orders are set to launch in December or early January.
