Later...


In 1996, after they released their first full-length album Born of the Flickering , they signed to Century Media. With a world wide distribution through this label, they gained the attention of new fans around the world.
After release of The Pagan Prosperity and Ill-Natured Spiritual Invasion through Century Media, the band went on one of their rare tours. Old Man's Child have rarely toured because of the constant line-up changes they have endured over the years.

In 2000 Galder went to play in Dimmu Borgir . However, Galder did not stop working with OMC. Over the years, Old Man's Child has become a one-man band with the rare addition of session members on albums.

Between 2000 and 2005, Galder released three very successful albums: Revelation 666 – The Curse of Damnation (2000), In Defiance of Existence (2003) and Vermin (album)|Vermin (2005). On July 2008 Old Man's Child announced that they were entering the Studio to record their seventh studio album Slaves of the World . Slaves of the World released in 2009 to rave reviews.

In an early 2011 interview, Galder stated that he was firmly focused on the current Dimmu Borgir tour.cite web|url= http://www.metalpsalter.com/interview_dimmu_borgir.html |title=Metal Psalter Dimmu Borgir's Galder Interview |publisher=Metalpsalter.com |date=2010-11-28 |accessdate=2011-10-31 However, he said that after the world tour he would start writing music for Old Man's Child with the possibility of an album release in 2012.cite web|url= http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Old-Mans-Child/1819/ |title=Old Man's Child reviews, music, news |publisher=sputnikmusic |date= |accessdate=2011-10-31cite web|url= http://www.metal-invader.com/db/reviews-2662.html |title=Old Man's Child - Vermin Review |publisher=Metal Invader |date=2005-12-19 |accessdate=2011-10-31cite web|url= http://heavymetal.about.com/od/o/gr/oldmanschild-slavesoftheworld.htm |title=Old Man's Child Slaves Of The World Review - Review of Slaves Of The World by Old Man's Child |publisher=Heavymetal.about.com |date=2009-05-19 |accessdate=2011-10-31cite web|url= http://www.fearnet.com/news/b15611_old_mans_child_slaves_of_world_cd_review.html |title=Old Man's Child: 'Slaves of the World' - CD Review |publisher=FEARnet |date=2009-05-18 |accessdate=2011-10-31cite web|url= http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/review.php? review_id=621 |title=Old Man's Child - In Defiance Of Existence review |publisher=Metal Storm |date= |accessdate=2011-10-31
