By following the traditional Norwegian style of black metal, Blizzard debuted after a few demo records with "Les Litanies De Satan".
However modern influences also could be sensed on the album on the side of the old school blackness. Their music is more riff-centric than the old classics are, and the themes showing larger diversity. The album is also more melodic the same time, it's like trying to take place somewhere in the middle while drifting between various influences. The atmosphere has minimal role therefore, and occasionally deep growls assisting to the ordinary black cawing to turn the main impression more inhuman. So "Les Litanies De Satan" includes a little bit of everything and formed a whole from all. This counts definitely as the strong point of the album, because this mix wasn't against unified sound and serves as a genuine feature, an alternative aspect how the style developed further. The album could be enjoyable not only for the fans of traditional black metal, but also for those who prefer the more melodic or modern styles of the genre.
