Ashton Nyte of the South African gothic darkwave act The Awakening just reported the following sad news:

We are devastated to announce that The Awakening’s Dark Carnival UK Tour has been cancelled due to injury. Ironically, the injury occurred while trying to get to the UK yesterday. I spent a stressful day, mostly stuck on the runway in a plane waiting to take off from St. Louis to connect in Chicago, which was hit by bad weather. My plane never left St. Louis, my connection was missed, and during one of the chaotic times we had to board and deboard, I injured my back while moving luggage.

The Awakening has never had to cancel a tour before. So much work, love, energy, time, money and passion have gone into setting this one up, only to have this happen. I especially want to thank our team who worked so hard to bring The Awakening to the UK: Victoria and Mark from Rebel Meets Rebel Live booking agency, all the promoters and venues, our tour manager, Eva, Michael Ciravolo and Schecter Guitars, and, of course, all our fans who continue to be so generous with your love and support.

Tickets will be refunded from the point of purchase. My sincere apologies to everyone affected.

Ashton

Recently The Awakening released a video for ‘Your Vampire’  which is taken from their latest album. Nyte states: The song is a love song. It is a song about passion, devotion and commitment, despite the challenges we face or the limitations of life itself. It is also Rose’s favourite song from the album, so I thought a video was in order.

The video for ‘Your Vampire’ can be seen below.
