The Everlasting (魂宗久遠, Konsō kuon) is the twenty-second studio album by Japanese heavy metal band Loudness.

It was released in 2009 only in Japan, after the death of original drummer Munetaka Higuchi, whose pre-recorded drum tracks were used on this album.

The album also features a quasi-return to their 1980s sound in "Flame of Rock" and "I Wonder".

The cover artwork is inspired by a Thailand's sculpture called "Budda Head in Tree".
