Infernal biographyThe band Infernal started up consisting of the members Søren Haahr, Paw Lagermann & Lina Rafn. They did the first single Sorti De L'enfer without any real plans of doing more. The song went on to become a hit in the danish clubbing scene, and the members had a great time working together. So they decided to do more songs and eventually an album. The album Infernal Affairs as well as the singles Highland Fling, Kalinka, Voodoo Cowboy and Your Crown all enjoyed big succes in Denmark, and Infernal almost instantly became one of the biggest names on the danish dance-scene. When starteing the preparation for their second album, Søren Haahr decided to leave Infernal and pursue the career as DJ he already had before starting Infernal.

Lina and Paw continued as Infernal and soon got yet another big hit in Denmark with the single Sunrise, followed by Muzaik and the album Waiting For Daylight.
