Aiden - ‘Knives’

Rating: 7

Since the departure of guitarist Jake Wambold in 08, Aiden have been anything but idle.
‘Knives’ is the fourth release from the post-hardcore Seattlers and marks a darker direction. Where Wil has in the past kept a check on his ‘anti-religious’ lyrical tendencies, ‘Knives’ sees him let loose with tracks like ‘Crusafiction’ where his bile-soaked lyricism packs a similar punch to Marilyn Manson in his ‘Anti Christ Superstar’ era. (‘Fuck God, There’s no religion. Christ died for shit and was a fucking c*nt!’) Being just some of his choice tirades. Despite the clichés this is a very well produced affair retaining the punkier elements of Aiden’s sound.
