Saille was founded by keyboardplayer Dries Gaerdelen in May 2008. Wanting to create the music he was fond of (symphonic black metal with a threatening feel, in the style of Tartaros, Limbonic Art and Keep of Kalessin) Dries started writing several songs of which some contained remnants of Dries’ former band Mortifer. It was thus a logical choice to cooperate with former Mortifer vocalist/guitarplayer Jonathan Vanderwal.
After contacting drummer Gert Monden of In-Quest and text-writer Filip Dupont of Gorath, the further development of songs could proceed.
With the help from ReinieR of Fleshmould/Shumcot studio and several other musicians the recordings for the first album “Irreversible Decay” started at the end of 2009. Due to the complexity of the music and layered structure of the guitars and keyboards, the recording and mixing of the album took several months. Irreversible Decay was finalised in September 2010.
At first, Saille was only intended as a studio project, during the process it became clear the music should be brought to life.
