Gothic rock band The Awakening is Ashton Nyte. He writes all music, records almost all instruments and does the vocals. He also produces all albums from The Awakening. This might make you wonder why on earth he would feel the need to do a solo album, as The Awakening already is a one man show. However, The Awakening is a certain format, rock oriented. On Sinister Swing the artist Ashton Nyte shows a different side of himself, though it's not entirely different. The dominating element on Sinister Swing is electronic music. This was always an element incorporated in The Awakening's rock sound. As this music is much more mellow than what I'm used to hear from Nyte, it doesn't really fit the Art For The Ears format. I'm not even supposed to be an expert on this kind of music.
