Old Man’s Child “Slaves of the World” Album Review
I’ll admit it; I don’t like much black metal. But Old Man’s Child has always been an exception.
Their latest album, “Slaves of the World” is another fine entry into their catalog. It’s filled with what we’ve come to expect from Old Man’s Child: black metal tinged with thrash, anti-Christian sentiments, you know, typical Scandinavian fare.
This is a good record, far better than the typical “excuse me while I apply corpse paint and by the way, fuck Jesus and here’s endless trem picking and blast beats” stereotypical and beat black metal that abounds.
Although I would like to point out that this album nowhere near compares with “In Defiance of Existence”, the best Old Man’s Child record, not to mention one of the genre’s best. That album is like one of my bowel movements: epic and intense.
Standout track: “Path of Destruction”
