The black part is not soft and they seem to grow so I don't think they are rotting.

The corking thing was just a bad joke reacting to the comment above. But these are cayenne peppers not jalapenos so still, no corking should be happening. Same thing regarding changing color to black while ripening. I know that's the case with jalapenos but I'm pretty sure that's not happening in my case.
There's a chance it's a little sun scald, but this looks more like ripening to me. Especially since the bands go all the way around, and aren't just spots on one side.
