The release arrives during a period of growing international recognition for Aisles. In December 2025, they became the first South American band to sell their records and merchandise through the influential UK progressive music platform Burning Shed, placing them alongside artists such as Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson and Opeth in the store’s catalogue.
'Now Is The Time' continues the creative chapter that began with the single 'Blue Skies', released in July 2025. Following that release, Aisles toured the United Kingdom, performing in Edinburgh, Southampton, Camden and Sheffield, and appearing at HRH Prog Festival in Great Yarmouth.
During the same trip, the band recorded a special live session inside Studio 3 at Abbey Road Studios, one of the most iconic recording spaces in music history. The performance, filmed during the tour, made Aisles the first Chilean band to present a live performance recorded inside the legendary London studios.
Their recent single 'Now Is the Time' offers another glimpse into the musical direction of the band’s upcoming album. The song is inspired by the idea of forbidden love: two people who care deeply for each other but face pressure from the world around them. Family, social expectations, religion, or authority figures may disapprove — even though the two people involved genuinely love each other and want to be together.
The lyrics explore what happens when someone chooses to obey those external voices instead of their own heart. In the story, one person ultimately walks away, leaving the other questioning how something real could be abandoned simply to satisfy the expectations of others.
The chorus becomes a turning point: “Now is the time” emerges as a mantra — a call to live authentically and act according to one’s own feelings rather than surrender to fear or pressure. In the final section of the track, a choir enters and expands the emotional scale of the music, turning the message into something universal: an invitation to live truthfully and follow the voice of one’s soul.
Musically, the track highlights the evolving chemistry of the current lineup: Boris Seeder (vocals), Germán Vergara (guitar), Juan Pablo Gaete (keyboards), Daniel Concha (bass), and Álvaro Poblete (drums). Mixed by Adam Noble (Leprous, Placebo) the track showcases the unique combination of intricate melodies, expansive atmospheres and ambitious conceptual storytelling that across five studio albums has made Aisles develop a distinctive voice within modern progressive rock and gain in return a loyal international fan base.
This is the second single taken from their forthcoming sixth studio album, the first full-length recording developed entirely with Boris Seeder as lead vocalist.
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 theatre, 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 5th April, 2023, after the departure of three members and the reconfiguration of the group. On 30th April, 2023, AISLES released the instrumental suite Bahamut, inspired by the science fiction novel of the same name written by Chilean author Francisco Ortega. On May 2024, they released the EP Obras de Los Jaivas, where they tribute Chilean prog folk group Los Jaivas, featuring four guest singers - and closed the year with new single 'The Dream', introducing new vocalist Boris Seeder. In 2025 Aisles performed alongside Leprous in the CL Prog festival - before releasing 'Blue Skies'.
