On October 31st, 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. They did a cover of Billy Idol's Clasic song "White Wedding".

The band's third studio album entitled Conviction was released August 21, 2007. It marks a complete change of style in the band's musical direction. On the 9th October 2007, through a myspace bulletin the band announced that they were filming their next music video, for the song "Moment", so confirming it as the next single.

As of June 2008 Jake Wambold was kicked out of the band for wanting to spend sometime off tour after being constantly away touring for around 2 and a half years. 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 was a marked departure from the musical style of Conviction and hinted to their first two albums, but showed a more satanist-hardcore direction. 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 Scavengers of the Damned through iTunes.

Their live album, From Hell...With Love, was released in 2010.
