Infernal Love by Therapy

Infernal Love, the fifth album from Larne's Therapy? and their third for A&M, came out in 1995, cut at Real World Studios in Box, Wiltshire, between January and March of that year. It's the last record from the original trio: Andy Cairns on guitar and vocals, Michael McKeegan on bass and Fyfe Ewing on drums, with Ewing gone by early 1996.

Coming off Troublegum, the band could have just hit the same buttons harder. Here the mood is dark and brooding, the riffs still grinding but the songs given more room to sulk and swell, and "Diane" is the one that got under radio listeners' skin and stayed there. After this, the lineup changed, with Graham Hopkins taking over the drums and Martin McCarrick joining on guitar and cello.
