Artist description Embedded in the kind of black metal that can only originate from the northern countries of Europe, the Oslo-based Norwegians known as Old Man's Child have honored their dark leader with a pair of worthy offerings, namely the 1996 mini-CD In The Shades Of Life (which was the band’s demo, re-released on Norwegian’s own Hot Records, the label run by Dimmu Borgir vocalist Shagrath) and the worldwide license of their 1996 full-length album, Born Of The Flickering. Amidst the crowded sea of impostors and premature efforts, Born Of The Flickering stood out like a fiery diamond on the blackest of sack-cloth. Although produced in a scant five days, it put many a lavishly-produced records to shame. Now, having signed on with the Century Black label worldwide, the band return with their most formidable work thus far, entitled The Pagan Prosperity. Featuring their most diverse compositions yet, The Pagan Prosperity crosses the boundaries of black metal to invoke swatches of everything from traditional metal to gothic, also displaying what has to be some of the finest songwriting ability in black metal today. There is a special identity about the band's music which evokes a large gap between them and their competitors, as their non-compromising attitude isn't limited by artistic ideologies. Their music, oft hostile and feral, has been boosted by the band’s ever-increasing songwriting skills, and now a strong sense of melody permeates their core and helps to truly set up their more vicious moments. Old Man's Child have taken the next step towards the overthrow of enlightened order as we know it, and nothing of earthly origin shall dissuade their unholy war.
