"[4] Ahleuchatistas' sound is rooted in a wide variety of sonic influences and musical traditions.
Sudden tempo changes, amelodic tones, and technically complex motifs are characteristic of much of the band's recorded output.
The original members of the band were Shane Perlowin on guitar, Derek Poteat on bass, and Sean Dail on drums.
[5] Sean Dail left the band in May 2008 and was replaced by Ryan Oslance, a drummer from Carbondale, Illinois.
Their album The Same and the Other was reissued in 2008 on Tzadik Records[6] after the influential avant-garde composer/musician John Zorn took a liking to them.
