Album Review

Nothing but the dead is beyond this sentence so he who reads beyond this, be warned for you will not return to your lifestyle you once knew and loved and held close to your heart and soul. As of right now your soul belongs to the Devil, the Devil and his four servants of an alternative Goth rock and roll band known as AIDEN. This act has beaten out the tunes since the beginning of time always revolving around the same old topic and theme known as death, blood, and hell. Which you purely get delivered over and over again off their fourth instalment ‘Knives’, the title alone sets the theme already does it not?

Beginning this ride through hell as your soul awaits its fate you get thrown with the eerie introduction that is ‘Killing Machine’, which has vocalist Will shouting out “I WANNA WATCH THE WORLD BURN!!!!” Lighting up that match sending the whole world up in total flames which glides right along towards ‘Scavengers of the Damned’, letting the dead eat your remains and drink out the juices spilling from your brain and guts allowing the instruments to do their part having the guitars slam against the drums while the vocals float right on through. Going into the next dimensions ‘Crusifiction’ and ‘The Asylum’, two tracks that blast the music right back at you not letting the energy drown away so easily. The music is fast and heavy maintaining the energy of the music in an uproar of pure adrenaline.

Now that you've experience half of the excitement, lets draw out a ‘Portrait’ of your appearance thus far, and my oh my you do not look so good now do you? ‘Portrait’ unravels itself as a mini poem type story of a girl discussing her tragic rape scene that has tormented her mind, heart, and soul from the inside out. Wrapping up this joyride of a thrill your last destination ends up along ‘Black Market Hell’, a twelve minute tune that sends you right back to where it all began declaring your souls fate as you witness your body’s departure into the afterlife.
