4.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring selection from a genre with a few original groups., September 19, 2004

By	Insert Pen Name Here (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews

First of all, this record isn't the be all, end all of black metal. It has carved a signifigant niche, however, into my vast cd collection. The production is flat and I prefer the stellar production of In defiance of Existence, which is the only other OMC title I own, but the chord changes and swirling guitar work are unique and really stick with me after repeated listenings. Not the first selection I pick up when I am in the mood for black metal, but the dark and foreboding atmosphere of this record makes it perfect for stormy, cold, winter nights.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enter a castle built by goblins, torn down by barbarians, May 31, 1999

By A Customer

This is Old Man's Child second release. In the release, Old Man's Child and Aldrahn(of Dødheimsgard) compose an album which is like a journey into a dark Norwigien fantasy where goblins and elves battle in war, while dark wizards dictate ominous warriors destinies. Old Man's Child compose dark soundscapes in such songs as "Funeral, Swords, and Souls" or Galders dream of suicide in "The last chapter". I recommend this for an AD&D fan as much as I do a Slayer fan. Line-up: Galder: Vocals, synth, lead, acoustic, and rhythm guitars. Gonde(of Midas Trinthe): bass, backing vocals. Tjodalv(of Dimmu Bigor): drums, Jardar: Guitars., Lord Draug Aldrahn: Vocals, Additional acoustics: Richard Wilkstrand., Choirs by: Torill Snyen.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great prelude to their other CDs, May 8, 1999

By	Louis Hoenshell (Jeannette, Pa. USA) - See all my reviews

A great cd. A little crude and not produced very well. But that's what makes this cd so great. I favor this one over the newer titles. Old Man's Child is the ultimate metal band. There's not another band that comes close to OMC.
