Infernal biography

The 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. Later he also started doing solo things as Red$tar.

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.

The Danish version of the TV-show Big Brother had the year before gotten big succes letting DJ Encore do the themesong of the show, and they now turned to Infernal for the same. They did You Recieve Me which went on to become a big radio- and clubhit. At the same time Muzaik had become a hit in the clubs, and Infernal decided to rerelease the album Waiting For Daylight with a new name Muzaik and now including You Recieve Me and the next single Let Me Hear You Say Yeah! which became yeat another hit in the dancecharts.

The next album had a long way comming. Infernal had started doing a lot of writing and producing for other artists, and at the same time their chill-out tracks from earlier albums was starting to get succes on chill-out compilations round the world. Also feeling like doing something new, they did a lot of experimenting in the studio, they did a lot of tracks but couldn't seem to fit them together as an album.

A year or two passed and former band-member Red$tar now contacted Lina and Paw wanting help with a idea for a new single he wanted to do. Sampling from the old The Grid hit Swamp Thing they did Banjo Thing, and when it was ready for release it was decided to be released as an Infernal feat. Red$tar single and not a Red$tar single. Banjo Thing became a massive hit on the danish dancechart.

Working on with tracks for the new album, Infernal had some controversies with their management and record label. The album was delayed as the band had to find new management and record company. But it was worth the wait for both Infernal and the fans.
