Cobain's vocals and guitar were recorded in the middle of the room, with Cobain singing into a Shure SM57 microphone designed for conversation and not music. Unlike the rest of Nevermind, the song was recorded live, with no overdubs added afterwards. It was recorded following a failed attempt at recording the future Nevermind single ' Lithium,' with a 'frustrated' Cobain instructing producer Butch Vig to continue recording while he, Grohl and Novoselic began playing 'Endless, Nameless.' As Vig recalled, “the rage and frustration in voice was fuckin’ scary to hear, because he kind of lost it.” Vig remembered Cobain being 'really pissed off, thrashing and screaming' during the take. The song was first recorded in the studio during the recording sessions for the band's second album, Nevermind, in May 1991 at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California.

The earliest known live performance of 'Endless, Nameless' was at the No More Wars anti- Gulf War benefit show on Januat the Evergreen State College Library 4300 in Olympia, Washington. On November 12, 2021, 'Endless, Nameless' was released as a 7-inch single included on the 30th-anniversary reissue of Nevermind. It was first credited by name when it was re-released as a B-side on the album's second single, ' Come As You Are,' in March 1992. This song was released as a hidden track, beginning approximately 10 minutes after the end of the album's final listed song, ' Something in the Way,' and occupying the same track. It is the 13th and final song on the band's second studio album, Nevermind, released in September 1991. ' Endless, Nameless' is a song by the American grunge band Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist Kurt Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic, and drummer Dave Grohl.
