Old Man's Child - Born Of The Flickering
Review by Declan Magill
Old Man's Child's 1996 album Born Of The Flickering is a standout in the black metal genre. The Norwegian band's third studio album showcases their signature sound of fast-paced, melodic black metal with symphonic elements.
The album opens with the haunting instrumental track "Demons of the Thorncastle," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Galder's raspy vocals are complemented by the intricate guitar work and keyboard arrangements, creating a dynamic and atmospheric listening experience.
Standout tracks include "Swallowed by a Buried One," with its driving riffs and memorable chorus, and "The Old Man's Child," which features a chilling spoken word intro and a powerful guitar solo.

About Old Man's Child
A melodic black metal band from Jessheim/Oslo, Norway, founded in 1993.
The foundation of the band was discovered in 1989 when Galder/Grusom (Thomas Rune Andersen Orre) and Tjodalv (Ian Kenneth Åkesson) founded a Metallica/Slayer cover band called Requiem. By 1993 they had become a death metal band and later that year changed their style to black metal and became Old Man's Child. Excluding the band's early years in the mid to late 1990's, Old Man's Child has been very much a solo project of Galder, who typically used the help of session musicians on albums and tours. Despite being more occupied as guitarist in Dimmu Borgir, Galder kept Old Man's Child alive until 2009, after which the band has not released new music.
