"We will continue on as a 4 piece. I know this may come as a shock for some..."

Aiden have announced the departure of guitarist Jake Wambold - as well as the reasons behind the cancellation of their recent tour.



The band explained...



"We have been consistently on the road traveling for the past 4 years.

In those 4 years we have been in seattle a total of maybe 5 months.

That’s including time we spent in the studio making the "Rain in Hell"

ep and our new album "Conviction". It’s enough to make anyone crazy,

and bring almost any kind of personal relationship to the brink of

disaster. So we all felt inclined to take a breather for the first time

in what seems like forever. And with that, we are announcing that Jake

W is no longer apart of Aiden.



We will continue on as a 4 piece. I know this may come as a

shock for some of you, and some of you could care less. I just want to

say to everyone that this is by no means the end. This... My dearest

friends is but a beginning, a new chapter has opened up for us and the

fire you saw before will be replaced with a much higher level of

intensity. (sorry to all the people who would like to see us to break

up, you can keep on hating another day. Believe.)"
