OLD MAN’S CHILD Born Of The Flickering CD

OLD MAN’S CHILD – Born of the Flickering CD

Own a true piece of Norwegian black metal history with Born of the Flickering, the legendary and cult debut album from Oslo’s OLD MAN’S CHILD. Formed in 1993 from the ashes of Requiem, Grusom, and Tjodalv—with the invaluable help of Aldrahn (Dødheimsgard)—the band forged a majestic, heavy, and aggressive masterpiece of grim Norwegian black metal. Without doubt, this is their best and most iconic album.

Originally released in 1996 by Hot Records, Born of the Flickering stands as a monumental pillar of mid-90s Scandinavian extreme metal. Across ten unforgettable tracks—including the title anthem “Born of the Flickering”, the vicious “Demons of the Thorncastle”, and the epic closer “…Leads to Utopia / The Old Man’s Dream”—the album showcases the unmistakable songwriting of Galder (later of Dimmu Borgir) and the raw, atmospheric power that defined a generation.

This is the official 2023 repress on Soulseller Records, bringing this essential classic back into circulation for a new generation of devoted black metal fans. A mandatory addition to any serious collection of Norwegian black metal history.
