In the tradition of such renegade bands as John Zorn’s Naked City, Bill Laswell’s Last Exit, and Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band, Ahleuchatistas serves up shards of sonic shrapnel and white-hot free jazz abandon along with impressionistic textures, intricate unison lines, tightly-honed motifs and disciplined, shape-shifting arrangements, tempered by a penchant for thoughtful thematic development. There are elements of punk, jazz, classical music, speed metal, grindcore, prog rock, noise, African music, electronic music, ambient music and explosive improvisation flowing organically in and out of the mix. With a devoted international cult following, Ahleuchatistas is considered by some to be one of the most innovative and evolving instrumental groups of the past decade.
