Irreversible Decay is the fourth studio album by Belgian black metal band Saille. The album was released on March 12, 2021, via the label Black Lion Records. The album features ten tracks that showcase the band's unique blend of symphonic black metal and melodic death metal.
The album opens with "A Titan's Sacrifice," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its heavy guitar riffs and atmospheric keyboards. The album's title track, "Irreversible Decay," is a standout track with its haunting melodies and intense vocals.
Saille's use of symphonic elements is particularly impressive on tracks like "Spectres of the Ascendant" and "Architects of Demise." The band's ability to seamlessly blend symphonic elements with their brutal sound is a testament to their musicianship.
The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and element of the music given ample space to shine. The vocals are particularly impressive, with frontman Dennie Grondelaers delivering a powerful performance throughout the album.
