Infernal was a Swedish black metal band based in Stockholm.
It was formed in 1997 by David Parland (aka Blackmoon), 
who teamed up with ex-Dark Funeral colleague and vocalist Themgoroth (Paul Mäkitalo),
 to create a band both similar to and more brutal and extreme than Dark Funeral
which Blackmoon had left in mid 1996.
The band released two EPs during 1999-2002 and was put on-hold from 2003 to mid 2008.
David Parland re-formed the band in late 2008 with drummer Tomas Asklund.
Infernal's new musical direction showcased a slightly more accessible sound than the first two EPs, 
and the new musical direction was more along older death/black metal and not as blastbeat-oriented as the old Infernal while there were plans for a full-length album and possible live gigs.
On May 2, 2010, Goathorned Productions released the EP "The Infernal Return" that featured 3 tracks recorded early 2009.
A demo entitled "Hellhymns" was the last recording before the upcoming release of the full-length album 
that was scheduled for late 2010 or early 2011.
On March 19, 2013, founder David Parland committed suicide, putting an end to the band.
