If you like Dimmu Borgir, check out Old Man's Child

I think there are more than a few Dimmu fans here, so I figured I'd give this band a plug. (nevermind the silly name!) I happen to like OMC a lot more than Dimmu, actually, but that's just me. There are some free songs on mp3.com, in case you're interested.

There were more songs by this band on mp3.com once upon a time, dunno what happened to them.

Old man's child happens to have some similarities, but it's really unfair to compare the two bands. Though i think that In Defiance of Existance is most dimmu-like, their other stuff doesn't really compare much IMO. Other than that, i agree that they are probly better overall for my tastes and In Defiance is probly one of the best albums of '03.

Same drummer is it not?

 

[theodyssey]

Only for in defiance of existance.. nick barker. Great drummer. They have a revolving door of members.

 

[arglebargle]

Right you are, theodyssey, both bands have different styles, BUT... if you were going to recommend OMC to someone, you'd prolly name-drop Dimmu.

 

[theodyssey]

agreed. OMC i suppose is the raw, more energetic dimmu.

Only for in defiance of existance.. nick barker..

true, but Tjodalv used to drum for both DB and OMC.

OMC is Galder's brainchild, and he plays guitars in DB nowadays.. so the bands are really inbred.

Bump

Even 'In Defiance of Existance' doesn't sound totally like Dimmu, it still has that organic feel that Dimmu lacks. That's my main gripe about 'Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia'... the cold and clinical production.

 

[theodyssey]

In defiance of existance has balls... and not just any ol' balls... this has like watermelon sized balls... this record has testicular fortitude my friends. Go do yourself a favor and purchase this album.

 

[arglebargle]

Gotta love the trademark OMC death/black layered vocals.

 

[theodyssey]

are we the only two people who listen to OMC here???

by the way, i got the limited edition version of In Defiance of Existance with the sort of fucked up slide out digipak... have you seen it?

 

[arglebargle]

Nay, I have yet to purchase the album; I only have random mp3s from that CD.



HELLOOOOOOO DOES ANYONE ELSE LIKE THIS REMARKABLY TALENTED BAND???

 

[theodyssey]

it's great, but the packaging is horrible for the limited edition... i mean, i love wierd packaging, but this is some wierd ass slide out type of thing..... i wish i woul dhave got the jewel case on this one

Everyone check out my favorite Old Man's Child album, Pagan Prosperity!!! \m/ That band rules.

 

[theodyssey]

Wooo hoo!!! someone else who likes OMC!!!

do they really have a bad album???

 

[arglebargle]

Why no, no they don't.

 

[arglebargle]

I think my favorite album by them is 'Ill-Natured Spiritual Invasion', but I have a hard time choosing a fav.
