Colours of the Dark is a London-based rock band blending gothic textures, post-punk urgency, and psychedelic haze into a sound that feels both introspective and haunting. The five-piece — Chiara (vocals, lyrics), James (guitar), Sebastian (drums), George (bass), and Bryce (keys) — draws inspiration from the violent intensity of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, the raw sharpness of Patti Smith, and the shadowy depths of The Cure. Their music is defined by poetically charged lyrics steeped in existential dread and emotional tension. Conceptually, the band’s world is informed by literature, philosophy, and horror and surreal cinema. This visual and thematic edge flows through both their sound and aesthetic, creating a cohesive and evocative experience for the audience — always dark, never colourless.
