Saille "Eldritch"

Saille continued to play gigs while they started recording their third album Eldritch in May 2014. These included Tongeren Metal Fest (with Asphyx and Angel Witch), a show supporting Carach Angren in the Netherlands, and the Ancienne Belgique with Mayhem (from Norway). In July, they played in Germany for the first time. The album was recorded in different studios to get a different approach for each group of instruments. Again, classical instruments including a grand piano, a 100-year-old pianola, and small vocal choirs were recorded. Mixing and mastering were handled by Klas Blomgren from Sweden (known for his work for Svart's last CD).

Eldritch was released on 10 November, again by the label Code666, as a digipak edition. To promote the release, a three-day promotion tour with Winterfylleth took place in Belgium and the Netherlands. The band's second performance at Eindhoven Metal Meeting concluded the year.

Saille "Ritu"

In July 2012, the band hit the Shumcot Studio again to record their second album Ritu. With lyrics inspired by death rites in ancient cultures, this album had a much darker setting than the first. Again, classically skilled guest musicians were invited. 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), who was known for mastering classic black metal bands including Mayhem, Emperor, Arcturus, Limbonic Art, Ulver, and Vreid.

Ritu was released as a digipak edition on 18 January 2013. Saille then faced an intensive year. That month they embarked on their first tour with the Transylvanian black metal band Negura Bunget, which was followed by more gigs in Belgium and the Netherlands, supporting bands like Textures, Von, Winterfylleth and The Monolith Death Cult. A promotional/official video for the opening track of the album Blood Libel was set for release in June 2013. During the summer, Saille was invited to perform at several festivals including Antwerp Metal Fest (with Napalm Death), Vlamrock (with Exhumed, Belphegor, and Rotting Christ) and Metal Méan (with Marduk and Dying Fetus). In September, they went to the UK for some gigs supporting Winterfylleth, a British band they considered friends since they first met at Graspop in 2012. The band then released another official video, a live recording of the track Tephra captured at Metal Méan in November 2013 and went to Denmark for a headlining position at Black Winter Fest in Copenhagen.
