About Me

Dark is the new Black

The Music

From the void, the sounds envelop you. Sinking into the subconscious, they induce heavenly bliss, but with a taste of hell.

Currently the sounds of Cynical Picnic can exclusively be heard on the soundtrack to the trade paperback Sullengrey.

For more information on how to obtain a copy of the album with book, please visit:
