Aisles comment: "The message of the song is "here there are no guilty parties, except the passage of time". I wanted to give the song the feeling that everything was lost, that work is exhausting, that there is a loss of enjoyment, but also the need to leave everything behind and move forward to get out of that state. Musically, compared to the rest of the album, it's much more melodic, simpler, more direct, we wanted to explore something closer to Pink Floyd, Steven Wilson, and Marillion perhaps."

The new album marks a turning point in Aisles' story. It is their final work in the current line-up, due to the departure of Felipe Candia (drummer), Rodrigo Sepúlveda (guitarist) and Israel Gil (vocalist). Beyond Drama however is not the end, just the beginning of a new chapter, and their most dazzling and tortured record yet.

The band worked on Beyond Drama between January 2019 and October 2021. The album reflects the painful moments that they went through during those years, from the pandemic and political turmoil in Chile, to deaths, splits, and a long internal crisis that almost ended the band. Beyond Drama is a photograph of a particularly difficult time for Aisles, but their love for the beautiful songs within kept them going.

In their time as a band Aisles have toured the Americas, Europe, and performed with prog legends Marillion, Focus, and Riverside.

In 2005, Aisles released their debut album, entitled The Yearning, 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 existential literature and by theater, was nominated for Best Foreign Record at the Prog Awards in Italy, and the group also participated in the 11th version of the Progressif Crescendo Rock Festival in France. Their third record, 4:45 AM (2013), which looked into the loneliness of the human being, received rave reviews and was ranked among the best albums of that year in numerous publications specialised in progressive rock.

Their most-recent 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” and globally acclaimed by such august titles as Prog, IO Pages, and Chile’s premiere rock magazine, Rockaxis. The success of the album allowed Aisles to tour in Europe, the United States and Mexico.

In 2018, as a way of closing the cycle of Hawaii, they released the EP Live from Estudio del Sur, complemented with four videos recorded live that are found on YouTube. After the departure of their original vocalist, Sebastián Vergara, at the end of that year, Aisles introduced in September 2020 their new singer, Israel Gil, with whom they restarted their constant artistic evolution by releasing 'Smile of Tears', a new version of the song from the album In Sudden Walks. The band will release their fifth album on 5th April, 2023.
