A late Music Mondays, Aiden Scavengers of the Damned:

Aiden is an American rock band from Seattle, Washington that formed in the spring of 2003. They took their name from the character in the movie The Ring, although with a different spelling (with an 'e' instead of an 'a'). The current members are WiL Francis (vocals, guitar, piano, lyrics), Jake Davison (drums), Nick Wiggins (bass), and Angel Ibarra (lead guitar). Wil originally played bass but took over lead vocals when the original singer left.

Their first full-length album Our Gang's Dark Oath was released on Dead Teenager Records in 2004. It was recorded while Jake Davison and Angel Ibarra were still in high school, being released shortly after they had left.
Later in 2005, the band were signed to Victory Records. Their second album and debut for Victory Records titled Nightmare Anatomy was released October 4, 2005.
Aiden contributed a cover of Nirvana's "Drain You" to Higher Voltage, a CD given away free with Kerrang! magazine.
Aiden latest full length album entitled Knives was released on May 12, 2009 (May 11 in the UK). On March 31, 2009, a new single, "Scavengers of the Damned," was made available through iTunes, the second single being Let The Right One In.

This is one of my favorite bands and you don't hear a lot about them and that really should change cause they're amazing! I heard about this band back in 2007 when their CD Conviction came out but I never really gave it a second listen to you would say. You see back in 2007 I was still trying to "find" myself and I didn't know who I was or who I was suppose to be so I was very confused and irritated cause I had one group of people telling me who I am and who I should be, then there was me who knew what type of person I was and who I wanted to be. To be honest no one knows the real you but YOU and no one can tell you otherwise, you just need to believe it yourself and not let yourself believe what everyone else says cause they don't know. That's why I love Aiden, they are one of the bands that actually helped me get through my struggle with trying to find my inner self. My Chemical Romance is the band that helped the most with this along with helping me get through other personal struggles but that's a different story. Besides MCR, Aiden helped with the rest and you can truly tell that they are the type of band that wants to be there for their fans and help them through any rough spot that they might go through and you can see that in their music and the way that they act towards their fans.

If you haven't heard of Aiden or you haven't given them a second look I highly suggest that you do cause they are such an amazing band and they are also a horror influenced band which is another thing that I like about them. With my love for all things horror I love that this is a horror rock band and any other horror rock band is good in my book and Aiden displays their horror influence in their music and it totally works for them. The song I chose for Music Mondays: Tuesday's Edition (where Monday came a day late) is Scavengers of the Damned from their latest CD Knives. The song is not only amazing, the music video is pretty rad too.
