Background


In 2012, Marklund announced on septembermusic.se that she was recording her first Swedish studio album.[8]

In an interview with dn.se, she officially confirmed that the next album would be released under her birth name, Petra Marklund, rather than releasing a fifth September album.[9] She announced that this album would have no trace of her signature dance-pop style, and stated the album would be "dark and personal." She also stated that the album would contain influences of pop and hip hop.[9]

Upon the announcement of the album, Marklund said "it doesn't mean I 'quit' September, it just means I'm gonna do more music. September is on my mind all the time and there will be more in the future!"[10]

Lead single "Händerna mot himlen" was released on September 14, 2012. It peaked at #2 and was certified 6× Platinum in Sweden.[11]


Reviews


scandipop.co.uk stated that the singing is very good, but the production is the big 'wow' factor. They stated, "does Inferno sound like those September albums of old that we cherish? No, nothing like it. But does that matter? No, not in the slightest – it’s really very good. Very very good, in fact."[12]

Hanna Fahl from DN also complimented the album saying "it's a cohesive album, superbly well written, and in some moments it can lift and fly" and complimented Marklund for being "strong and present". However, unlike Scandipop, she believes it is not really a fresh start, but "an extension and continuation of September's tearful and desperate "Cry for You"."[13]
