Immortal "Blizzard Beasts"

Blizzard Beasts is the fourth studio album by Norwegian black metal band Immortal. It was released on 20 March 1997 through Osmose Productions. It is the last Immortal album to feature founding member Demonaz Doom Occulta on guitar, and the first to feature Horgh on drums. Demonaz was later diagnosed with acute tendinitis which prevented him from playing guitar at the required speed for Immortal's music. Stylistically, Blizzard Beasts has primarily songs that are less than three minutes long, contrasting with Immortal's usual longer song lengths.

The final album to feature Demonaz on guitar, due to a repetitive strain injury.

On the first press, logo was printed / engraved in the cd-case front.
This version does not list the intro on either the inlay or the booklet, but the track is still included.
