Wicked CD.......2007-08-01

Wicked cd recomended to anyone who enjoys extreme music. Drummers will love the use of the ride cymbal in this cd, I rarely hear drummers use it like this! The session drummer is a good substitute for Nick Barker, and a wicked follow up album to In Defiance of Existance.

strange name for a metal band..........2007-04-22

...or should I say metal star, but he definitely knows how to rock. OMC is largely a one-man operation nowadays and Galder shows some versatility on this album. in fact, he does the guitar, bass, and keyboard arrangements and one of his Dimmu Borgir bandmates, Reno Killerich, plays the drums. Testament guitarist Eric Peterson also lends a hand. I hope Old Man's Child comes out with a new album sometime soon.

Good.......2007-01-05

Very, very close to Dimmu Borgir... naturally. 3rd and 8th track take the cake. Others very nicely composed. Sounds somewhat borderline of traditional black metal and neo-black metal style. Some songs boast some ripping guitar rythems and solos. Drums sounded typical of any black metal. The keyboards add a nice atmosphere in some tracks, though they are not over played in any 1 track. This CD would likely be enjoyed by any typicaly BM fan.

The only high profile black metal release of 2005!!.......2006-07-27

Honestly with only one black metal release in 2005 by this great band i can say that it has left me hungry for more. I've been into Old Man's Child and Dimmu Borgir for quite a while now and i like both of their styles. Old Man's Child to Galder is what Iron Savior is to Kai Hansen. They both have their own full time bands but enjoy creating their own stuff with their 'side' projects.

Anyway onto the album. I must say it is fantastic! The first 3 songs 'Enslaved and COndemned', 'The Plague of Sorrow' and 'War of Fidelity' are absolutely killer black metal songs. 'In Tormentor's Orbit' is the longest song on the album and has a nice keyboard section that relieves the fast pace for a bit. 'The Flames of Deceit' and 'Black Marvels of Death' are great songs to with buzzsaw-like riffs. Personally i don't like 'Lord of Command' as much as the other songs. 'Twilight Damnation' is a great song with some more synths present.

Throughout the album there are sprinkles of acoustic guitars to add some melody to the album. The lyrics on this album are VERY well written and mainly address the bitterness towards humanity most black metalists share. The artwork on this album is exquisite and very dark and sinister. The majority of instruments are played by Galder and the music and lyrics written by him so he has a lot of praise from me!! It takes a creative mind to do all that. Galder's voice is is very likable and won't make you cringe like that incessant squealing of Dani Filth's pig-being-raped voice, it's a straight-out black metal rasp and quite deep. The drumming is also top knotch and contributed by Reno Kiilerich who i believe is one of the fastest drummers in the world-- hitting 800 beats a minute or so! If you like Nick Barker (who is fantastic IMO) you'll like the drumming present here. Complex, loud and thudding!

Overall if you are an Old Man's Child fan you will definetly like this album. But if you also like some black metal with sprinkles of melody this is also for you. I bought this album straight away when i saw it and my confidence in it is still high. So i recommend it to you. Hope that was helpful!

Awsome music. Just not as great as other OMC.......2006-05-27

I really hate to give this cd less that a 5 star rating. The reason I did is to distinguish it from the other OMC 5 star ratings that I wrote. Having said that I think this is top notch metal of any kind. Just not on the great level that Ill natured, and Revalations 666 are.
Enslaved and Condemned 9 For many bands on many cds this would be the best song. It begins with a creepy acoustic melody. This song doesnt have the keyboard melodies that OMC would have had in the past. The melody here is primarily from guitar. Mostly this song is about getting attacked by Galders guitar. Their is a good mix of thrashy death metal riffs, and earsplitting solos. As well as the aforementioned accoustic intro.
The Plague of Sorrow 9.5 This one starts with a brief fuzzy noisy intro. Almost industrial, but than the riffs smash on. There is more keyboard in this song than the last one. This song has a definant Death Cult Armegeddon influence. Sounds dark enough for my lost and twisted soul.
War of Fidelity 9.5 Starts with a tattering drum beat and than the guitars slide on in. Plenty of buzzing riffs and blast beats followed by some amazing keys. The rest of the song is a splattering of crunching riffs and amazing solos.
In Torment's Orbit 8 Another good song. Not as good as the last three, but definantly worth your attention. It just doesnt strike me as being outstanding like the other songs. If I had to name my favorite parts I would say that the keyboard at 2:25 is great, and I really like the closing riffs that begin around 4:25.
Lord of Command (Bringer of Hate) 9.5 The opening is an awsome keyboard melody. Sounds like something that should have been on Ill Natured. About 2:23 an even better keyboard piece. It has a magical evil sound. It practically makes your room grow colder. Other than that there are plenty of good riffs as usual.
The Flames of Deceit 8 Very good song. Just not as good as some of the other songs. Favorite part is 1:37-2:00. That is great guitar. The problem is that it is really familiar and I am sure that I have heard it somewhere before. Although Galder is too great to rip someone off. He doesnt need to. Oh well it is probably in my head. That wouldnt be the first time I hallucinated.
Black Marvels of Death 10 Great song. From accoustic intro to the heavy drumms in the end.I wish it was longer. Or I just put it on repeat and that is good enough I guess. Very dreamy keyboards in the background.
Twilight Damnation 10 Even better than the last one if you can believe it. The guitars sound a little like Iron Maiden I think. Actually this song sounds similar to old Cradle of Filth before they sold there souls to MTV. Perfect song. This is my favorite on here.
...As Evil Descends 7.5 Thats evil alright. Very ominous instrumental outro.
Anyways this is a another great addition to the legendary Old Man's Child catalogue. No dissapointments. Go out and buy this cd or die!

Album Description

This is the fourth studio album of Vermin and they have slightly changed their style since their previous albums. The hard core elements while still present are reduced and now they have more thrash metal influences along with their extreme metal roots. A groovy and rather technical album with vocals that are certainly brutal, but not extremely brutal and music that's based in rhythms. There are a couple of good songs in the album but there are also a couple of completely indifferent songs. The point is that you always have the feeling that you have heard the same things before, since the band can't be considered as original. Simply another death thrash band among the many around, that doesn't manages to stand above the competition. Nothing that we haven't hard before a few hundred times and nothing special. Check them out only if you want to have everything from the scene. 2005.
