 Amazing!

| Yet another amazing release from Galder. As before, you can expect intense, brutal black metal with amazing orchestration and catchy melodies. I think this album stayed in my CD player in my car for a whole week after I first got it... |

Best, most consistent, OMC

I have most of the Old Man's Child back catalogue. While I like the music I was constantly frustrated with its inconsistency. Each release had some good tracks and some duds. Even within a given song there would be moments of brilliance then a nearly song wrecking interlude. I got the feeling that Galder was not always fully applying himself, similar to Warren Zevon or Prince who could go from genius to dud in three minutes and 28 seconds.
This release release banishes that demon (or summons it, as the case may be)and gives us Galder at the top of his game, stem to stern. The songs have all the best elements of past OMC work without the akward moments. This work posseses a coherence and flow that was lacking in previous releases. This is a start to finish listen disc, which is perhaps the best thing I can say about it. Writing , performance, and production are all top notch. I feel that this is the best OMC release to date and will win them many new fans. Buy it!

 This is no Pagan Prosperity.

| I first got into Old Man's Child when my friend lent me The Pagan Prosperity. I then bought Vermin, which is actually a few releases later, but was the the new album at the time. Vermin was pretty good but not up to the level of The Pagan Prosperity. Now, after listening to Slaves of the World, I am left wondering, what happened. The Pagan Prosperity has so much musical diversity: death metal, black metal, thrash, and alot of neo classical ideas. Slaves is hardly more than chugga chugga over double bass. Hardly any musical experimentation, very few solos, melodies,crafty changes....Nothing. It really parrallels how Dimmu changed between Stormblast and In Diablo. This is nothing more than Galder riffing out over a drum machine.As with Dimmu, Old Man's Child no longer has an organic sound. They sound more computer like and without much creativity. |

| Perhaps I was a little hasty in my previous review for this. I threw the cd aside to get rid of eventually. A week went by and I decided I would give it one more try before I got rid of it. And wouldn't you know it, it grew on me and I finally decided I liked 4 or 5 songs. Granted, it still can't beat In Defiance of Existence, Vermin or Ill-natured Spiritual Invasion. But, it does go above Pagan Prosperity and Revelation 666 in the hierarchy of OMC albums. |

| Galder is back with his finest O.M.C. album to date. Galder also of Dimmu Borgir displays his world class talent on slaves of the world. The impessive thing with Galder he can differentiate his style of music from O.M.C. to dimmu borgir entirely well. Galder delivers a full force guttural vocal assault along with precise tight druming ,techical and catchy guitar riffs. This is symphonic black metal with some extraordinary timing signatures. All the elaborate atmospheric pieces are entwined in the music. Fans of death,black metal and even classic thrash this album is for you. |
