Evig Pint is the second album by the Norwegian rock-group Kaizers Orchestra, recorded in November and December 2002.

Lyrics for all songs are in the Norwegian language, but it has also had success internationally. Janove Ottesen, who wrote most of the lyrics, is also doing vocals in most songs. The exception is the song "Naade" (English: "Mercy"), where Geir Zahl sings. Zahl also wrote this song.

As is the Kaizers' fashion, the songs have a story to tell, and the album has an overall theme. While their first album Ompa Til Du Dør had songs that were generally about the War and it's repercussions, and a mafia family, Evig Pint's theme is more dark, less obvious and not as connected as the ones on Ompa til du Dør, story-wise. A popular theory is that track number two, Hevnervals (English: Avenger's Waltz) tells the story of that a Hitman has failed on a mission from the same mafia family spoken of in Ompa til du Dør, and is being hunted down by his now former friends. It's also believed that the song Naade is a letter from a person from Ompa til du Dør, a former mafia member called Dominique, pleading for mercy before his execution.
