Endarkenment is the eleventh studio album by British extreme metal band Anaal Nathrakh.

[1] Vocalist Dave Hunt said of the album, "I think in terms of feel, it's brighter, more open and direct than maybe we've been in the past.

[2] The title of the album is intended to represent an inversion of enlightenment values, with Hunt saying that in recent years many people have become less accepting of facts, and instead conflate them with their feelings, citing Brexit and the blacklisting of Sam Harris as examples.

[3] Additionally, Hunt has stated that criticism of religion has become less acceptable, and that those advocating a silencing of speech are paradoxically thinking of themselves as enlightened.

And even when one of us thinks they've found something real and rears up to jab their finger at the air, it's still often oddly fetishised – you can practically see the hard on and smell the groin sweat.
