Aisles

Having released five highly acclaimed studio albums, progressive rock band Aisles have created an unparalleled musical approach that combines intricate melodies and sonic openness. They have toured the Americas, Europe, and performed with prog legends Marillion, Focus, and Riverside.

In 2005, Aisles released their debut album, “The Yearning”, recognized for its elegant and delicate melodic work. In 2009, their second album, “In Sudden Walks”, inspired by existential literature and by theater, was nominated for Best Foreign Record at the Prog Awards in Italy. Their third record, “4:45 AM” (2013) was ranked among the best albums of that year in numerous publications specialized in progressive rock.

Their fourth studio album, “Hawaii” (2016), a conceptual double album that narrates the life of humanity in space after the destruction of the Earth, was called a “masterpiece”. The success of the album allowed Aisles to tour in Europe, the United States and Mexico.

In 2018, they released the EP "Live from Estudio del Sur," complemented by four live-recorded videos available on YouTube. The band released their fifth album, "Beyond Drama," on April 5, 2023, after the departure of three members and the reconfiguration of the group. On June 30, 2023, they released the instrumental suite "Bahamut," inspired by the science fiction novel of the same name written by Chilean author Francisco Ortega. A year later, they released the EP "Obras de Los Jaivas".
In 2005 they released their debut album, “The Yearning”, published in Chile and the United States, and was immediately recognized by its elegant and delicate melodic character, especially in epics such as “The Wharf that Holds his Vessel” and “Grey”. Their sophomore effort, “In Sudden Walks”, inspired by existentialist literature and drama, was nominated for Best Foreign Album in Italy’s Prog Awards. Furthermore, the band played the 11th edition of Festival de Rock Progressif Crescendo in France. Their third album, “4:45 AM” (2013) explored the loneliness of human kind, and was praised by several publications specialized in progressive rock.

“Hawaii” (July, 2016), a double concept album narrating the life of humanity in space after the destruction of the Earth, was chosen among the best albums of the year by media outlets such as Prog (England), NeoProg (France), Headbangers Latinos (Mexico), Aural Moon (USA) and Chile’s premiere rock magazine, Rockaxis. The success of the album allowed the band to tour in Europe, United States and Mexico. In 2018, closing the “Hawaii” cycle Aisles released the “Live from Estudio del Sur” EP, accompanied by four videos that are available on YouTube.

After parting ways with long-time vocalist Sebastián Vergara in late 2018, Aisles introduced their new singer, Israel Gil, in September 2020, with whom they have continued their artistic evolution releasing “Smile of Tears”, a new version of a song originally included on “In Sudden Walks”. In 2021 Aisles released four new songs, and will release their fifth studio album, “Beyond Dama”, in the second half of 2022.
