Infernum is a black metal band founded in 1992 in Wrocław, Poland by Grzegorz Jurgielewicz (a.k.a. "Anextiomarus" and "Karcharoth") and Tom Balrog playing also in Oppressor and at present in Baphomets Throne.

The group was formed in 1992 in Wrocław, Poland by Grzegorz Jurgielewicz stepping out under the pseudonym "Anextiomarus" (electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals) and Tom Balrog (percussive instruments). In this line-up the band recorded a demo entitled The Dawn Will Never Come (1993) and several months later another promo material entitled Damned Majesty with the help of a keyboardist Robert Fudali (pseudonym Rob Darken) from the band Graveland. At the start of 1994, Tom Balrog left the band and was replaced by Capricornus on the drums. In 1994, the band released their debut album entitled Taur - Nu - Fuin, which was published by Astral Wings Records. This release was seen as an early publication of the so-called National Socialist black metal.

Some time later, Infernum was temporarily suspended. Before the split-up, Infernum recorded a demo entitled When the Light Has Died including three new songs without vocals or the keyboards, which has since been circulating among the band's fans. Soon after that Anextiomarus suspended all Infernum's activity. According to Rob Darken, Karcharoth became an informant to the Polish authorities, who were exerting pressure on various individuals connected with black metal groups and nationalist ideologies.

In 2000, Anextiomarus together with guitarist Renfas (Oppressor), later a guitarist in Thy Worshiper, created a project called Dagon. They made a recording of one album.
