Norway's DIMMU BORGIR have managed to become the most prominent and important Melodic Black Metal act around the globe. As an intermission between 'Death Cult Armageddon' and the next album, DIMMU BORGIR deceided to re-release their second album 'Stormblast'.

It turned out not to be a simple re-release: The band fully re-recorded the album for this occasion. With Peter Tägtgren (HYPOCRISY) as producer and MAYHEMs Hellhammer on drums (Nick Barker departed in January 2005), the band wanted to add a new dimension to the album. The re-recorded version of 'Stormblast' is even more intense and darker than the original.
