The Awakening...

What to say about this South African Gothic band?

This band formed by Ashton Nyte has grown from a kind of industrial rockband to a more Gothic rockband... I just love their latest album (Razor Burn), though I have to admit I like their more electronic album 'The fourth seal of zeen' too...
At the moment the band is working on new stuf that is planned to be released late 2008...

I love his vocals... Remind me of Manson sometimes...

I like it.

Not bad at all, although the electronic sounds are really annoying

Not bad at all would be a good description,
I do like the electro feel.

The vocals are really great, and I like the atmosphere

Ashton Nyte is amazing. They came to America this fall. I saw them once as a full show, and once as an acoustic set. Great stuff!!!

Another band that gets played regularly at the Klubs I attend. But not any of the songs on there, except a different version of Vampyr girl.

Dude sounds like Eric Clayton.

Yeah, he kinda does, but not as operatic.

Not at all like Clayton, I'd say...

Clayton's voice is more classical trained, Ashton's 's not...

I see more similarity in Peter Steele's and Clayton's Voices, and Manson's and Nyte's...

Manson and Nyte? Maybe Manson minus about 2 octaves

lol.
there is a difference between the same character and the same 'height' of tones though.

a tenor can be able to sing with a clear and warm tone,
while a bass can do that too.

Yeah, I see what you're saying, I guess Manson's voice just isn't begging the comparison to me.

I've only heard one song by this band and it was good, I like symphonic gothic metal.

Ah, I did't notice this topic before...

It's nice music when you're in the mood for it I have some songs from different CD's but I must admit I wouldn't buy a cd of them.

Very good. Nice sexy sound.

I kind of know what you mean. I have checked out several of their songs and they were good. But, their CD's just aren't as impressive.

razor burn is.. it's a good album, with good songs on it.. not just one or two good ones, but the album as a whole is very good.

It's a decent album, but incidentally it's very hard to find their lyrics on the web.
