Dark Endless is the debut
studio album by
Swedishblack metal band
Marduk. It was recorded and mixed at
Hellspawn Studios during four days in June 1992 and released that December by
No Fashion Records. Like many early black metal albums, it mixes black metal vocals with predominantly
death metal stylings. Dark Endless is the only Marduk studio album to feature
Andreas Axelsson on vocals and Rikard Kalm on bass, as by Marduk's second album Those of the Unlight, they had been replaced by Joakim Göthberg (who plays drums on this release, along with contributing some vocals) and B. War respectively.
There also exists a Christian
unblack metal band named "Dark Endless" who are named after this particular album.[citation needed]
The album intro and "Still Fucking Dead (Here's No Peace)", which were initially one track, were divided into two for the
Regain Records reissue of the album. The songs are listed in the reissued track listing as "The Eye of Funeral" and "Still Fucking Dead" (dropping "Here's No Peace" from the title). This is why bonus tracks on the disc start at track 10 instead of track 9.
Re-issue
The album was re-released with bonus tracks in
digipak format on 4 April 2006.
