Stormblåst ("storm-blown" in English) is the title of the second full-length release from Norwegian band, Dimmu Borgir. It was released in 1996 under Cacophonous Records, and re-released in 2001 by Century Media. The album is sung entirely in the band's native language, Norwegian, and was the last album to be completely in Norwegian instead of English. In November of 2005, a completely re-recorded version of this album was released. The fourth track 'Sorgens Kammer' was plagiarised almost completely from a song by Tim Wright originally written as the title theme to the Amiga shoot'em up Agony.

Many fans and critics feel this is Dimmu's best and "most original" album, showing that the band had potential to not become another simple Norwegian Black Metal clone. 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 Dodheimsgard and Ved Buens Ende fame).
