"This single was developed after all our lineup changes for the last year or so", says Germán Vergara, Aisles’ guitarist and producer. "When Boris joined, he brought new colours to the melodies, which we really enjoyed and thought were ideal for this new process we are living as a band."
Boris replaces vocalist Israel Gil, who stepped down as frontman of Aisles in 2023.
'The Dream' was produced by Germán Vergara, mixed by Fernando Cubillos, mastered by GRAMMY award-nominated producer & mix engineer Jacob Hansen (Vola, Arch Enemy, Katatonia, among many more), and the artwork was created by the Chilean design studio Medu1a. The track brings up the notion of never letting go of your dreams, and it was written after the creative process of their previous album, Beyond Drama (2023), with a strident heaviness inspired by Muse and Leprous.
The track is available on all streaming platforms through Presagio Records.
Aisles’ new vocalist, Boris, is a music teacher and experienced singer who has performed with musicians such as Bobby Kimball (Toto), Eric Martin (Mr. Big) and with Brazilian heavy metal band Angra. “I’m happy to join Aisles, a band that is so consolidated, real and challenging. Aisles motivate me to grow constantly but also to trust in my own instinct.” After an intense audition process that included men and women of different musical backgrounds, Boris was chosen because of his discipline and talent, and because he shares the same work ethic with the band.
Aisles, formed also by Juan Pablo Gaete (keyboards, synth), Daniel Concha (bass), and Alvaro Poblete (drums) are working on new songs that will be released soon, taking a turn towards a heavier sound with a substantial use of sequences. 'The Dream' marks the beginning of a new era in the band, and it is the first piece of original material released by the group since 'Bahamut', in June, 2023.

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, recognised for its elegant and delicate melodic work. In 2009, their second album, In Sudden Walks, inspired by existential literature and by 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 specialised 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. On August, 2024, they released the single 'The Dream', introducing the new singer Boris Seeder.
