Fusing previous influences that are as much from the "Request" era as from Ashton Nyte’s solo career's Glam Rock roots, with hardness and sinister Romance that are the true spirit of the original Goth movement, The Awakening's "Roadside Heretics" is anything but retro', updating the "Gothic" preoccupations, style and sound to something that is as relevant as it is appealing to anyone who ever found solace in darkness. Lyrically, "Roadside Heretics" embraces both the classic Romantic style as well as a harsher, more brutal approach to the themes of Love, God and Self, seen from the point of view of the marginalized and judged, while carefully avoiding sickly sentimentalism and cliché.
