about
Old Man's Child is a Norwegian black metal band originating from the city of Oslo. The band was founded by Galder (formerly known as Grusom; birth name: Thomas Rune Andersen), who is the sole permanent member of the group. Old Man's Child was officially founded in 1993, but its roots trace back to 1989 when Galder, Jardar, and Tjodalv formed a death/thrash band called Requiem. They initially performed covers of songs by Slayer and Metallica, later releasing a demo album in 1990. Requiem dissolved in 1992. In 1996, after releasing their first full-length album, Born of the Flickering, they signed with Century Media. Following the releases of The Pagan Prosperity and Ill-Natured Spiritual Invasion through Century Media, the band embarked on one of their rare tours. Old Man's Child has infrequently toured due to constant line-up changes over the years. In 2000, Galder joined Dimmu Borgir, but he continued to work with Old Man's Child. Over the years, the band has evolved into a one-man project, utilizing session musicians for their albums. Between 2000 and 2005, Galder released three albums: Revelation 666: The Curse of Damnation (2000), In Defiance of Existence (2003), and Vermin (2005). In July 2008, Old Man's Child announced that they were entering the studio to record their seventh album, Slaves of the World. It was released in 2009. In an early 2011 interview, Galder stated that he was firmly focused on the current Dimmu Borgir tour. However, he mentioned that after the
