"Everything Went Black" is a compilation album by Black Flag, released in 1983. It comprises early songs recorded before Henry Rollins became the band's vocalist in 1981, and released initially without the band's name on its cover, due to their lawsuit with MCA/Unicorn. Instead, the names of the group members were listed on this first release.
