The
Chilean rock band Aisles will unveil the song "Disobedience" on July
15th via Presagio Records. This is the second single off the group's new
studio album, which will be released early 2022.
FFO: Yes, Rush, King Crimson.
“Disobedience”
was influenced by the heaviness of Animals as Leaders and the rhythmic
expressions of hip hop, but it also features elements of pop and the
fusion style of Allan Holdsworth and Richard Spaven. "We have broken the
scheme of our own music: this song is more direct, more powerful and
more contagious," explains Germán Vergara, Aisles' guitarist. Drummer
Felipe Candia adds: "this song is marked by a rebellious energy, with a
hint of something that is coming, but with an uncertain ending."

The
group, formed by Germán Vergara, Felipe Candia, Rodrigo Sepúlveda
(guitar), Juan Pablo Gaete (keyboard), Israel Gil (vocalist) and Daniel
Concha (bass), is currently finishing their fifth studio album, which
will be out early 2022. For this new album, they have left behind the
concept and sound of “Hawaii” (2016) to open up to a more direct and
powerful sound influenced by bands like Porcupine Tree, Rush and Animals
As Leaders. “We have done a very exhaustive job: we put pressure on
ourselves to change our paradigm,” says Guevara.
Originally
from Santiago de Chile and with four acclaimed studio albums, Aisles
has become the most important South American progressive band in the
last two decades. Their intricate melodies and sonic openness reflect
their incomparable musical approach. The group has performed in North
America, South America, Europe, and has played live in Chile, opening
for iconic bands such as Marillion and Focus, and also at shows in
various locations around the country.
In
2005 they released their debut album, entitled "The Yearning", which
was released in Chile and the United States, has been recognized for its
elegant and delicate melodic work, especially on epic songs such as
"The Wharf that Holds His Vessel" and "Gray”. In 2009, their second
album, "In Sudden Walks", inspired by classical theater and literature,
was nominated for Best Foreign Album at the Prog Awards in Italy. The
group also participated in the 11th version of the Progressif Crescendo
Rock Festival. In France, their third work, “4:45 AM”, which
investigated the loneliness of the human being, published in 2013,
received rave reviews and was ranked among the best albums of that year
in numerous publications specializing in progressive rock.
“Hawaii”
(July 2016), a conceptual double album that narrates the life of
humanity in space after the destruction of the Earth, was chosen among
the best albums of the year by media such as Prog (England), NeoProg
(France), Headbangers Latinos (Mexico), Aural Moon (USA) and Rockaxis
(Chile). The success of the album allowed them to tour Europe, the
United States, and Mexico.
In
2018, by way of closing the cycle of "Hawaii" they published the EP;
"Live from Estudio del Sur", which was complemented by four videos
recorded live, that can be found on YouTube. After the departure of
their original vocalist, Sebastián Vergara, at the end of that year,
Aisles presented in September 2020 their new singer, Israel Gil, with
whom they restarted their artistic evolution by publishing “Smile of
Tears”, a new version of the song from the album "In Sudden Walks". The
band will release its fifth work during the second half of 2021.
