"Blizzard Beasts" is the fourth album by Norwegian black metal band, Immortal. It is the last Immortal album to feature Demonaz on guitar, and the first to feature Horgh on drums.

Stylistically, this is more death metal influenced than the group's previous works (some tracks sounding akin to old Morbid Angel mixed with Immortal's traditional sound). The song lengths rarely go over 3 minutes, and only one of them spanning past the 6:00 mark while Immortal being more known for their lengthy songs.

This is the last album in which Demonaz would play guitar on. He was later diagnosed with acute tendinitis which prevented him from playing guitar at the required speed for Immortal.
