Darkness Forever! is a
live album by the Norwegian rock band Turbonegro, recorded in 1998 and released in 1999 on Bitzcore Records in Germany and on Get Hip Records in 2000 in the United States. It was recorded on 10 May 1998 at Fabrik in Hamburg, Germany and on 18 December 1998 at Mars in Oslo, Norway, which was the last show of Turbonegro before they disbanded and went on hiatus for four years. There are no overdubs
whatsoever on this album.
The album was re-released in May 2005 as a six-panel
digipak
with extended photo material. It contains five bonus songs (20 all together) and has been remastered. The result is a noticeably improved and better sound compared to the original version.
Artwork
The artwork of the front sleeve was culled from a 70s poster advertising for "The Magic Show" of Canadian magician Doug Henning. The original CD pressing came with a free "Turbojugend" sticker. The limited first edition vinyl pressing (only 3,000 copies) came with the A1 poster from the band's last tour (European "Darkness Forever" tour with Nashville Pussy) designed by Frank Kozik. The sleeve had special relief printing on the cover and there were five more tracks than the CD.
