So, here's the Old Mans Child topic again. Just incase, you don't already know, this band features Galder of Dimmu Borgir. I really like the new album Vermin. Revelation 666 is also pretty good. What does everyone think of this band?

Vermin is their masterpice IMO, that album tops all. I have mixed feelings about this band though, cuz I see them in the shadow of Dimmu Borgir, and that's not a very good thing. I admire them for the albums they've released so far, I really like the thrashy elements in their music.

Old Man's Child are one of my favorite black metal bands
i really like them - possibly more then Dimmu Borgir, i dont know

i have a number of their albums though, and it is hard to decide which i like best
'The Pagan Prosperity' or 'In Defiance Of Existence' or 'Vermin' or 'Revelation 666 - The Curse Of Damnation'
i cant decide - they are very very good though. one of my favorites

They're okay, i really like Nick Barker's drumming alot, it's just he has a habit ov playing for "Poser-BM" bands so that always spoiled it for me. Old Dimmu is 89273496434634987 x better. but OMC is still great. Their new album's generally kind ov boring though.

Possibly my favourite Melodic Black metal bands, these guys are awsome.
It is a shame that alot of people see this band in the shadows of Dimmu Borgir (which i also like) because Old Man's Child are a good band that should be seen as another leading band.
I have 'The Pagan Prosperity', 'In Defiance Of Existence' and 'Vermin' and they are great albums. I havnt heard anything off their other albums and i was intending to finish my discography for OMC but i put that off, still think its a good idea to finish it though ... just getting my Death metal collection up.

Overall, Galder is a good musican and creative, a band that i rate.

"Possibly my favourite Melodic Black metal bands, these guys are awsome."

*Fails to see how this band has enough melodic elements to be truely labeled melodic black*
Much closer to a black/thrash act with death influences. What is your guys opinion about their genre?

@ Bal'al Peor:

Hmm, well im not sure what OMC are. Some one one MS told me that they are more a melodic black band than a black metal band with a little bit of thrash that i said they were before in the old archives. I just took that on board, Im not one to keep them with the 'tag' but im just going off what i was told. I saw them more as a black band with a bit of thrash ..but when i was told that they arent that, i guess i conformed to what hey said. Although they do have some melodic black through them on 'The Pagan Prosperity' ...

Bottom line, im not sure

The most important thing is you're own opinion, not what someone told you. In this case, mine is that they play a thrashy black metal, melo offcourse, with some slite DM influence.

I've got from The Pagan Prosperity onwards. All albums are sick though Revelation 666 didn't do a whole ot for me. In Defiance and Vermin are my 2 favourits. OMC is my one of my favourites, and the first black metal band I ever got into (along with Dimmu). Amazing stuff, Galder is a terrific song writer.

I've just bought my first Old Man's Child album In Defiance Of Existence but I have to say this sounds veeery nice . Although the guitarsouns on the backround are not as clean and sharp as I'd like to.. I have to listen it through couple of times, then I can say. And I agree with "pyroleprechaun"; the keyboards are good;)

I only own In Defiance Of Existance, though I did almost pick up Vermin with my last CD haul. I'll probably get it within the next couple of weeks. Had IDoE for a couple of years, and to be honest, its never really grabbed me as a whole. I do like the drumming, though. It's not a weak album, I don't think, but surely nothing special either.

Life deprived is my favourite track off the album.

Old Dimmu is 89273496434634987 x better.


Lol, not THAT better I'd say

Written by Guest on 09.06.2006 at 02:57

Their new album's generally kind ov boring though.


Seriously now? I haven't listened to it, but I've heard it is possibly one of their better albums, personally mine is The Pagan Prosperity, but I just haven't found the motivation to buy/listen to this album, ahh well, one day I'll listen to it ^^'

Hello there, it appears you've arrived at quoting my posts a little late hun

these days i'm not much into the extreme stuff at all.......but to decide whether you want to buy their new album or not, here are some samples:

I totally agree with Kariasakis7... it's hard to understand why this band is so popular... their music is boring and meaningless, their lyrics are among the worst on the scene... well, there's too much awesome black metal around to waste time listening to shit.

From what Ive heard, I enjoy their more polished works like 'Vermin' and 'In Defiance of Existance'. I remember not liking production on one of their older album which had an annoying keyboard sound, though can't name it off the top of my head.

good melodic black metal stuff from Norway but unfortunately, they became famous thanks to Dimmu Borgir.
