The album simply sounds like it´s recorded by two different acts and when you look at who´s playing what on the album, it soon becomes apparent that that´s exactly the case. Add to that the huge expectations from the fans, and the fact that the band was falling apart because of musical differences around the time of recording "Infernal" and you have a major part of the explanation why "Infernal" is not only vastly inferior to it´s predecessor, but also an incohesive and overall disappointing release judged on it´s own merits. Following up an almost universally praised album like "Crimson (1996)" must have been a daunting task for the band. The album was released through Black Mark Production in February 1997. "Infernal" is the 6th full-length studio album by Swedish death metal act Edge of Sanity.
