The band name is drawn from Saille (ᚄ), the fourth letter of the Ogham alphabet, meaning 'willow' and related to the Latin word salix (meaning grey, dirt). It is pronounced as [sahl-yeh].
Since their inception in 2009, SAILLE has spread epic black metal, fused with symphonic arrangements. They built a firm reputation with impressive live performances on festivals all over Europe.
Originally founded in Belgium, SAILLE now consists 100% of members from The Netherlands. By creating their own niche in the extreme metal realm, SAILLE gained notoriety by using real classical- and rare instruments for recordings (and occasionally live as well) on their early works.
SAILLE has released six acclaimed full albums to date. With every song sounding unique and full of riffs, savage drumming, thunderous bass and excellent vocals. Each album is a concept album, lyrically dealing with ‘The fearful, the uncanny and the weird’.
For their 6th album, entitled 'Forebode', the band aimed for the original sound and artwork of their first three albums, albeit with the production of the current times.
Besides 4 entirely new tracks and a completely re-recorded version of their live favourite ‘Haunter of the Dark ’, the al-bum contains an extended and remixed version of ‘Eater of Worlds’ with additional classical instruments and 3 live-tracks with a violinist.
