The Dark Hereafter is the fifth studio album by the English black metal band Winterfylleth, released on 30 September 2016 through Candlelight Records.

"Led Astray in the Forest Dark" is a cover and English translation of Ulver's song "I troldskog faren vild" from the 1995 album Bergtatt – Et eeventyr i 5 capitler.

[3] The cover art, designed by Capp, features a photograph taken by Winterfylleth's drummer Simon Lucas, depicting a misty mountain area.

[4] In The Quietus, Pavel Godfrey wrote that The Dark Hereafter, with its low number of tracks, is reminiscent of an extended EP, which may be the result of a hectic and prolific period for Winterfylleth.

[6] David Oberlin wrote in Soundscape that the longest tracks, "Pariah's Path" and "Green Cathedral", create a trance-like effect.
