AHLES is a progressive metal outfit from Brisbane, Australia. This quartet is the brainchild of guitarist-vocalist Ian Ahles, who has had a prolific music career in the Australian heavy metal scene over the past twenty years (Praetorian, Dragonsmead, Born From the Ashes) coupled with an academic background in classical guitar. AHLES’ lineup is completed by drummer Alix Bandiera (Born From the Ashes, Puncture Wound), and classically-trained musicians Monash Lal and Will Towne (Riverside Guitar Ensemble). With this unique line-up combining both metal and classical influences, AHLES aligns the technicality, finesse and musicanship of both styles with emotive songs. November 2024 saw AHLES’ first live appearance supporting Peru metallers HYENA, followed by the release of debut single Will Nothing Grow? in November 2024, and Product in January 2025, AHLES have been performing their high energy shows with bands such as Thraxas, 308, and Nuclearsaurus Rex. AHLES have released their full-length album Between Dreams and the Waking World on November 10, 2025 with a music video for the opening track Something Spiritual to be released soon.
