Description:
In July 2012 the band hit the Shumcot Studio again to record their second album. With lyrics inspired by death rites in ancient cultures, combined with new member Dennie Grondelaers’ (vocals) interest for H.P. Lovecraft and Cthulhu, the next album had a much darker setting. Again classically skilled guest musicians were invited to create the irreplaceable real sounds: flugelhorn, cello, violin, theremin, tuba, trombone and much more.

In July 2012 the band hit the Shumcot Studio again to record their second album. With lyrics inspired by death rites in ancient cultures, combined with new member Dennie Grondelaers’ (vocals) interest for H.P. Lovecraft and Cthulhu, the next album had a much darker setting. Again classically skilled guest musicians were invited to create the irreplaceable real sounds: flugelhorn, cello, violin, theremin, tuba, trombone and much more.
It also sets the return of Jonathan Vanderwal, as a guitarist this time, to replace the former guitarist, who left the band just before the recordings started. After two months of intensive recording sessions, the final mix was finished in September 2012 and sent to the Norwegian mastering specialist Tom Kvålsvoll (Strype Audio). Known for mastering black metal classics Mayhem, Emperor, Arcturus, Limbonic Art, Ulver, Vreid and many others.
On January 18, 2013 the successor, entitled "Ritu", saw the light of day as a digipak edition.
After the release of the 2nd album, Saille faced an intensive year. They embarked on their first tour in January 2013, with Transylvanian black metal legends Negura Bunget. Followed by more gigs in Belgium and the Netherlands, supporting bands like Textures, Von, Winterfylleth and The Monolith Death Cult. Again, a promotional/official video for the opening track of the album "Blood Libel" was made and got its release set for June 2013.
An official videoclip for the track ‘Blood Libel’ was released in June 2013.
During summer, Saille was invited to perform on several festivals like Antwerp Metal Fest (with Napalm Death), Vlamrock (with Exhumed, Belphegor, Rotting Christ) and Metal Méan (with Marduk, Dying Fetus). The latter was recorded and filmed for a live video, to be released at the end of the year.
In September, Saille went to the UK for some gigs as support to Winterfylleth, a British band they consider as friends since they first met on Graspop 2012. During this period Saille introduced Kevin De Leener as their new and permanent drummer. The band released another official video, a live recording of the track ‘Tephra’ (captured at Metal Méan) in November 2013 and went to Denmark for the first time for a headlining position on Black Winter Fest, Copenhagen.
