Something wicked this way comes. From the foggy majesty of Seattle, Washington comes Aiden, a young band who meld punk, post-hardcore and goth influences into a lethal stew that recalls the best of bands like AFI and H.I.M. With music that defies categorization, Aiden dubbed it horror rock, defining once and for all the dark lyrical influences and vital energy displayed both live and on disc. Nightmare Anatomy is Aidens Victory Records debut: a heavy clash of hardcore and up tempo melodies that belies songs with decidedly grim themes.
Aiden began in the spring of 2003 by four friends from Seattle, WA - Jake W., Angel, Jake D. and Will - as more of a fun hobby than an effort to take over the world. With only 5 songs written, Aiden played their first show in July, 2003 at a pizza joint in downtown Seattle. Taking their name from a horror movie called The Ring, Aiden had a few line-up changes early on: singer wiL was originally the bands bassist, and switched to vocals when the original singer left the band. After adding Nick to play bass, the final unit was rock solid. Aiden went into the studio in December 2004 with producer Steve Carter and the result was their debut full length titled Our Gangs Dark Oath. The boys took it into their own hands to make cd samplers of some of their new material and passed out over 2,000 copies of the two song demos at shows around Seattle. Their DIY promotion started the enormous word-of-mouth phenomenon on Aiden...READ MORE HERE.
