Old Man’s Child was brought to life in Norway back in 1993. But things started to happen a couple of years earlier, back in 1989 to be precise. In that year Galder and Tjodalv started a band that mainly played covers of Metallica and Slayer. Under the name Requiem they released a self titled demo in 1993, which was only printed in 50 copies. The demo was very influenced by the death metal scene that flourished at that moment.

In my world where emptyness lies
and nothing but hate controls my mind.
My mountains too steap to conquer
I'm trapped inside myself.
Torn apart by my demonic figures
Images projected by my veins
a masquerade of chaos
revealed the secrets of my mind.
A fearsome quest, the bitter truth
left alone I got no soul
As long as their is life there is pain
I'm damned to breathe and to be insane.
