Two years later, in 1996, they released their second studio album Stormblåst (English: Stormblown) under Cacophonous Records and was their final album sung entirely in Norwegian until its rerecording in 2005 under Nuclear Blast. The band's first release under Nuclear Blast was their third studio album Enthrone Darkness Triumphant and was also their first album to make it into the charts; peaking in its seventh week in the Finnish charts at number 26[1] and debuting in the German charts at number 75.[2] Before the release of their fourth studio album, Spiritual Black Dimensions; in 1999, Dimmu Borgir released the compilation album Godless Savage Garden to, according to the band, "hold fans over while waiting for the next full-length, Spiritual Black Dimensions."[3] Two years later, in 2001, they released their fifth studio album, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, and a further two years later their sixth and first album to chart in the United States;[4] Death Cult Armageddon.
