Cacophonous has delayed the release of DIMMU BORGIR’s legenday second album Stormblåst and a release date will be announced soon. The rremastered audio is courtesy of Danny B of HVR Studios.
Stormblåst is the 1996 second studio album from Dimmu Borgir. This was the last album with lyrics in their native Norwegian, and the first where keyboards were heavily used and introduced as part of their trademark sound. 2016’s reissue contains additional new photos of the band alongside extended lyrics.
Neil Harding, Cacophonous label founder: “Stormblåst is heralded as one of the classics of Norwegian black metal. As we only had the DAT recording of the album we were limited in what we could do to enhance the original recording, but I think it’s improved enough that fans will welcome the remastered version. I’d been told about Dimmu Borgir by Samoth in mid ’94 when Emperor visited the label offices. Aldrahn of Dødheimsgard put me in touch with them, as he’d just recorded vocals for a song on their debut album For All Tid. I asked Dimmu Borgir if they wanted to work with Cacophonous on their follow-up album they should contact me in the future. I didn’t hear from them for a while, until after the recording of Stormblåst, they wrote and said that the label who were going to release the second album couldn’t pay for the studio costs and as they only had a verbal agreement, if we paid for the recordings the band would let us release the one album. It seemed a good idea, if only for a single release, and so we secured the rights and put out the record.”
