Cynewulf is a band started by the internet users APEOX and Zastra in December of 2023. To quote the Spotify page, "One day, two idiotic friends made a joke band that turned into a serious project. Then 3 other people joined. Then they Cynewulf'd. And we made music until the sun exploded. The end." <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Cynewulf">Read more on Last.fm</a>
