Stormblåst ("Stormblown" in English) is the second studio album by Norwegian 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 of 2005, a completely re-recorded version of this album was released. The fourth track "Sorgens Kammer" was plagiarized 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 Borgir'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. The guitar tabs are fairly easy on most of the songs using simple power cords.
This is also the last album where lyrics would be written by Aldrahn (of Dodheimsgard and Ved Buens Ende fame) until 2003's Death Cult Armageddon.
