Origin: South Africa
Music styles: Gothic Rock
The Awakening is a band originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, formed in 1995 by vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Ashton Nyte.
The band is best described as a hybrid of gothic rock, dark-wave, metal and new wave - a combination that was aptly described as "dark future rock" some years ago. With eight studio albums, several singles, EPs and a greatest hits compilation, the band's sound has evolved from album to album but remains rooted in its dark origins.
As of 2008 The Awakening has been based in the United States.
