Infernal is an influential Swedish black metal band based in Stockholm. It was formed in 1997, mainly by David Parland (Blackmoon), who quickly teamed up with ex-Dark Funeral colleague and vocalist Themgoroth (Paul M?kitalo), to create a band both similar to and more brutal and extreme than Dark Funeral, which Blackmoon had left in mid 1996. The band saw the participation of several members like Matte Modin (ex-Dark Funeral, Defleshed) and Impious of In Aeternum among others. The last known line-up was Blackmoon (David Parland) - guitars, Typhos (Henke Ekeroth) - vocals and guitars and Alzazmon (Tomas Asklund) - drums - this was the second real line-up, and it was dissolved in 2003. David Parland re-formed the band in late 2008 with drummer Asklund. Infernal's new musical direction showcases a slightly more accessible sound than the first two Infernal EPs, and the new musical direction is more along older death/black metal and not as blastbeat-oriented as the old Infernal. This line-up introduces David as a vocalist as well as guitarist. The line-up will be expanded to a full band in time for the planned full-length album and possible live gigs. On July 14, 2009, it was revealed that Infernal has parted ways for good with drummer Tomas Asklund. A replacement in the form of Norwegian drummer Carl Engstr?m from Astaroth and Recovery Injection has been found, and was announced on October 17. Old Necrophobic colleague and guitarist Martin Halfdan has also joined the band as a live and lead/solo guitarist mainly. On May 2nd, 2010, Colombian underground cult label Goathorned Productions released the 3-track Infernal EP "The Infernal Return". This release features 3 tracks recorded early 2009, with David on guitars, bass and lead vocals. Tomas Asklund (Gorgoroth, Dawn) played session drums on this EP. The band is now writing the last material for the next demo entitled "Hellhymns" which will feature four tracks. This will be the last recording before the long planned and awaited full-length album, to be released late 2010/ early 2011.
