Dimmu Borgir chronology

Stormblåst ("Stormblown" in English) is the second studio album by Norwegian symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir. It was released in 1996 by Cacophonous Records, and re-released in 2001 by Century Media. The album is sung entirely in the band's native language, Norwegian, and was their last album to be completely in Norwegian instead of English. In November 2005, a completely re-recorded version of this album was released.

For this album, the keyboards became the dominant instrument, a trend the band would use again in later albums. This is also the last album where lyrics would be written by Aldrahn (of Dødheimsgard and Ved Buens Ende) until 2003's Death Cult Armageddon.

The intro to "Guds fortapelse" is from Dvořák's Symphony no. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 "From the New World".

This album is the single album that breaks Dimmu Borgir's trend to title the albums with three words.

The Century Media re-release has the lyrics sheets in the wrong order, and even has a few songs' lyrics missing (such as "Antikrist")

The song "Sorgens kammer" was plagiarised from the Amiga game Agony (video game)^{[citation needed]}. The band did not know about this until 2004, when they were contacted by the game's creator about it. Keyboardist at the time Stian Aarstad neglected to tell them this, and as a result, the song was omitted from their re-recording of Stormblåst. Additionally, the intro to the first track "Alt lys er svunnet hen" was plagiarised from the Magnum song "Sacred hour"^{[citation needed]}.
