Darkness Forever! is a live album by the Norwegian band Turbonegro recorded in 1998 and released in 1999 on Bitzcore Records in Germany and on Get Hip Records in 2000 in the USA. It was recorded on May 10, 1998 at Fabrik, Hamburg, Germany and on December 18, 1998 at Mars, Oslo, Norway, which was the last show of Turbonegro before they disbanded and went on hiatus for 4 years. There are no overdubs whatsoever on this album.

The album was re-released in May 2005 as a 6 panel Digipak with extended photo material. It contains 5 bonus songs (20 all together) and has been re-mastered. The result is a noticeably improved and better sound compared to the original version.
