Saille are an international band with members from Spain, the Netherlands and Belgium that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a melodic and blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "V" which will be released in April by Black Lion Records.
A very hard and heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are presented on this recording. Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of blast beats.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. Some of the tracks are also long and epic in length along with some songs also adding in a small amount of clean playing and the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
The vocals also have their grim yet semi melodic moments along with the faster riffing also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking as well as one of the tracks also introducing acoustic guitars onto the album, one song also adds in a brief use of keyboards and spoken word parts and the music also moves away from the symphonic elements that were more present on previous releases, as the album progresses a small amount of clean vocals can also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the fearful, the uncanny and the weird.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Saille and if you are a fan of melodic and blackened death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Suffering Sanctuary" "Empty Expanse" and "Mirror Motions". 8 out of 10.
