About Infernal

Although they began life in 1997, it wasn't until 2004 that Infernal broke through across Europe with the retro disco hit "From Paris To Berlin," with the album of the same name going on to sell more than a million copies globally. The band started life as a trio, with members Lina Rafn, Paw Lagermann and Søren Haahr, who released the single "Sorti De L'Enfer," followed a year later by their debut album Infernal Affairs. In 2000 Haahr left the group, but the other two have carried on, releasing another studio album and remix sets. But it was in 2004 with the simple but infectious dance song "From Paris To Berlin" that they really broke through. They'd enjoyed success at home before, but in 2005 it went Europe-wide, even hitting the top five in Britain (there was even a re-recorded version, "From London To Berlin," to celebrate England in the 2006 World Cup). Following that was never going to be easy, but they decided on a cover of Laura Branigan's ‘80s hit "Self Control," which charted in six countries. However, their popularity seemed to fade after that, with another single only charting in Denmark. Infernal plan to release a new album, Electric Cabaret, in August 2008. ~ Chris Nickson, All Music Guide
