Originally founded in Belgium, SAILLE now consists 100% of members from The Netherlands. 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. 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 (‘Irreversible Decay’, ‘Ritu’ and ‘Eldritch’). 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’.

Their 6th album, entitled ‘Forebode’, was released by Non Serviam Records on February 13th, 2026. Aiming back to the original sound and artwork of their first three albums, albeit with the production of the current times. The album was mixed by Reinier Schenk and mastered by Tom Kvålsvoll/Kvalsonic Lab (Norway), acknowledged and famous for mastering tons of (metal) bands for decades. The artwork and lay-out is complementary to the first 4 albums, created by Tamara Llenas (Spain), who is also responsible for the band’s videos for this album.

SAILLE is looking very much forward to bring this album to the stages once more. Forebode is a journey and an oversight of 15 years of epic black metal, with blasting drums, melody, brutality and every aspect of vocals with no room for respite.

*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].
