Dimmu Borgir guitarist Galder has had a one man side project for quite a while called Old Man’s Child. Many don’t even attempt a listen due to what is perceived as an identical sound to his main black metal group’s sound. This is an unfair assessment really, yes the band's sounds are similar but really Old Man’s Child are able to expand upon musical elements that Dimmu Borgir only touch on during some albums. Also if Dimmu’s last few albums have been a bit too easy listening for you, Slaves of the World will be right up your alley. The album is a great mixture of melodic black metal, a little bit of industrial, and even some solid death thrown in for good measure
