Aiden is an American punk band from Seattle, Washington, that formed in the spring of 2003. The current members are William Control (vocals & guitar), Nick Wiggins (bass), Keef West (drums), and Ian MacWilliams (guitar).
They have released 6 full length albums, 2 EPs, and 2 live DVDs. Their latest full length, entitled Some Kind of Hate, was released on October 25, 2011, being the follow up to Disguises, also released in 2011.
The band's name comes from a character named Aiden from a movie called "The Ring". In 2004, the band were signed to Victory Records and some members were still in high school. Their second album and debut for Victory Records titled Nightmare Anatomy, was released October 4, 2005. On October 31, 2006, Aiden released an EP/DVD titled Rain in Hell. While the CD didn't receive rave reviews, the acoustic track "Silent Eyes" and the ethereal opening track "A Candlelight Intro" hinted towards a broadening of Aiden's musical style. The DVD included 3 music videos and a live performance of Aiden's "Never Sleep Again Tour" in Chicago. During October and November 2006, Aiden played the "Never Sleep Again Tour" with Silverstein and It Dies Today.
The band's third studio album entitled Conviction, was released on August 21, 2007. It marked a complete change of style in the band's musical direction. In June 2008, guitarist Jake Wambold was kicked out of the band. In December of that year the band announced they were back in the studio working on a new album.
Aiden released their fourth studio album Knives on May 12th 2009 (May 11th in the UK). This album showed a more satanist-hardcore direction for the band, and bare little resemblance to its predecessor, Conviction. The band said they expected those who didn't like Conviction to love this album, as well as those that were fans of their entire collection. The album release was preceded by the release of the first single, Scavengers of the Damned through iTunes.
Aiden's live album, From Hell...With Love , was released in 2010.
In May 2011, following the release of Disguises, Jake Davison(Drums) left the band, and was temporarily replaced by Ryan Seaman for part of the "Horror Nights" tour.
In October, the band released their second full length album of 2011, and 6th overall, named Some Kind of Hate.
On January 1, 2012, founding member Angel Ibarra (guitar), announced his departure from the band, via the official "AidenVision" youtube channel.
Aiden's William Control said the next album might be in the fall of 2013 and will be the last Aiden album and will be based on fiction.

Aiden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Became a witness to the suffering
Skinned alive, even took their soul
Close my eyes
By the moonlit darkness legend grows
Torture only child's play
Sworn to pledge and gather peasant slaves
Hey, I wanna live forever
I'm in love with the dark horizon
In the moonlight I will bathe
She placed her hand on the heart and swore
Every last one of them
Will bring me youth, beauty, bliss galore
Close my eyes
And the basin was filled every night she dined
In the den of iniquity
And my sorrow filled reverie
Close my eyes
Hey, I wanna live forever
I'm in love with the dark horizon
I'm in love with madness
Hey, I wanna to live forever
I'm in love with the dark horizon
In the moonlight I will bathe
Death comes for us all, I won't wait
She bathed in blood that much you know
Of the demon Countess Bathory
Through these cemetery gates we go
With my eyes closed
Elizabeth, she will not bathe alone
Elizabeth, she will not bathe, will not bathe alone
Elizabeth, cannot save your soul
Elizabeth, will not bathe, will not bathe alone
Elizabeth
The lyrics of "Elizabeth" by Aiden are centered around the infamous legend of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, known for her barbaric acts of killing and torturing young girls during the 16th century in Hungary. The song paints a vivid picture of the darkness and madness that consumed the Countess, as she believed that bathing in the blood of young virgins would bring her immortality and eternal beauty.
The opening lines of the song, "She bathed in blood, how apropos, became a witness to the suffering, skinned alive, even took their soul, close my eyes," describe the Countess's twisted acts of torture and murder. The lyrics evoke a sense of horror and revulsion at the Countess's gruesome practices. The moonlit darkness and legend growing add to the eerie atmosphere of the song, highlighting the Countess's infamy throughout history.
The song then goes on to describe how the Countess swore to gather peasant slaves, who would become her victims, in exchange for her eternal youth, beauty, and bliss. The Countess's desire for immortality led to her committing unspeakable acts of cruelty and torture. The lyrics, "And the basin was filled every night she dined, in the den of iniquity, and my sorrow filled reverie, close my eyes," encapsulate the Countess's unquenchable thirst for the blood of young girls.
The chorus of the song, "Hey, I wanna live forever, I'm in love with the dark horizon, in the moonlight I will bathe," shows the Countess's obsession with the concept of immortality and the darkness that permeates her existence. The final lines of the song, "Elizabeth, cannot save your soul, Elizabeth, will not bathe, will not bathe alone," highlight the Countess's ultimate downfall and the inescapable nature of death.
Overall, "Elizabeth" by Aiden is a haunting and chilling depiction of the notorious Countess Bathory and her descent into madness and depravity.
