printf("shiver in eternal darkness/n"); is a 2000 album by breakcore artist Venetian Snares. The album makes use of heavily distorted drumbeats and low-frequency bass sounds to create an extremely abrasive atmosphere, similar in sound to later Venetian Snares works such as Doll Doll Doll.

Like many of Funk's productions, the album contains numerous samples. Both versions of "Cruel Whole" on the album feature heavy sampling from Star Wars, such as Luke Skywalker's scream of "No!" from The Empire Strikes Back, sounds of blaster fire, retracting lightsabers, and the swelling choir of John Williams's Duel of the Fates, a recurring song in the Star Wars prequels.

The title is meant to be a line of C code, however a proper escape sequence at the end of the line would be coded as "\n" rather than "/n". (Whether or not this is an intentional mistake is unknown.)
