Henrik Palm announces "Poverty Metal Massacre" tour dates

Poster by Amanda Ferm

Right before releasing his acclaimed second solo album "Poverty Metal" in 2020, Henrik Palm told us in our interview: "There is so much going on this album so we'll see how we go through with it all. I don't have a single thought of the live situation when I'm in the studio so when it's time to play live again I guess we have to re-work some stuff to make it fit for five people. Which I see no problem in! It's a thrill to do stuff from scratch and re-arrange some songs. Usually they sound like on the record anyway for some reason."

Then, with the pandemic and everything, there haven't really been any chances to see him performing his new material live: but now it seems the time has finally arrived!

Earlier today in fact, Henrik announced his Poverty Metal Massacre tour: several live dates in Sweden, one in Norway and a couple in Finland, spanning from October 2021 to January 2022. Confirmed dates so far are as follows (link to tickets and events are updated as they become available):

Henrik Palm's new album "Poverty Metal" now full streaming!

Henrik Palm's second solo album "Poverty Metal" is going to be released this Friday, October 16th on Svart Records and today, we finally get to hear it in its rocking entirety in advance!

Even at first listen it becomes clear that Henke has delivered once again another solid album, filled with excellent songwriting, developing further his wide range of influences, blending genres while at the same time, adding even more structure to the album as a whole. At times, it almost seems as if the mood of the music has been put intentionally in stark contrast with the lyrics, creating a sort of unreal, weird and subtly uneasy feel. A really engaging experience.

Without further ado, turn up the volume and enjoy!

"Poverty Metal" is out this Friday, October 16th, 2020 on Svart Records and can be ordered at the Trust No One Recordings webshop and at the Svart Records Store. Svart Records is also reissuing Henke's debut solo album "Many Days" on clear vinyl and on CD.

Henrik Palm premieres video for new song "Given Demon"

In less than a month Henrik Palm's second album "Poverty Metal" is going to be released and today an official new video has been published to premiere the song "Given Demon"!

Starting off with a bold and catchy attitude, the song is a real banger and culminates with a more chill-out, lingering ending which gives the listener the time to fully absorb the music.

The video has been shot and directed by Chris Shonting, edited by Jared Sherbert, features Rachel Bulgach as "Given Demon" and sees also a cameo by Jocke Proos (of Vampire, and also part of Henrik's live band).
The entirely black and white visuals follow the character of Henke through different scenes and show him constantly in company of this female figure who seems to haunt him restlessly, however, only at the end, in a revealing and somewhat bittersweet scene, we find out what she is really there for. The grey tone that runs consistently from beginning to end, not only fits aesthetically but also subtly gives away the underlying noir mood of the video.

"Poverty Metal" is out on October 16th, 2020 on Svart Records and can be pre-saved on all major digital platforms at orcd.co/henrik-palm-poverty-metal, while physical copies are available for pre-order at the Trust No One Recordings webshop and at the Svart Records Store for the CD and on vinyl editions (red or regular black). Svart Records is also reissuing Henke's debut solo album "Many Days" on clear vinyl and on CD.

Stream "Nihilist", new single off Henrik Palm's upcoming album "Poverty Metal"!

Henrik Palm's second full-length "Poverty Metal" is due out in less than two months and today a new song has been premiered on Svart Records' Youtube Channel: "Nihilist" is the second single off Henke's upcoming album, and this finely crafted piece of rock music doesn't disappoint in delivering his unique blend of solid songwriting and peculiar atmosphere, an instant favourite here!
You can stream "Nihilist" below and have a look at the Trust No One Recordings webshop for pre-orders of limited editions and merchandise, and at the Svart Records Store for the CD and on vinyl editions (red or regular black). Svart Records is also reissuing Henke's debut solo album "Many Days" on clear vinyl and on CD.

Stream "Concrete Antichrist", first single off Henrik Palm's second album!

Exciting news today for all of us appreciators of Henrik Palm's music: the release date, the cover artwork, the tracklist and the first single from his second solo album have just been revealed!

"Poverty Metal", is due out on October 16th, 2020 on Svart Records and the tracklist appears to be as follows:

"Bully"
"Sugar"
"Concrete Antichrist"
"Given Demon"
"Destroyer"
"Nihil"
"Nihilist"
"Last Christmas"

...Sounds like a fairly apocalyptic list of titles. And most of us are surely looking forward to hearing them all, but today it is nothing less than "Concrete Antichrist" that we get to meet first!

As a foretaste of what's to come, it certainly sounds like a very interesting premise. Hints of prog rock and a bittersweet taste give the song a really intriguing feel, and it truly showcases well Henke's talent in blending several influences to create his own unique style. 

"Poverty Metal" is now available for pre-orders, alongside plenty of new merchandise, at the Trust No One Recordings webshop, which has on sale a limited edition of 150 copies on clear vinyl; the album can also be pre-oredered at the Svart Records Store on CD and on vinyl (red or regular black).

Back in 2017, when Henrik Palm's first solo song was premiered ("Elephant") and shortly after it was announced that a full-length album would have followed, many of us, who of course have been knowing him for his crucial role in In Solitude, immediately picked up on his solo music too, intrigued to hear more after listening to a first taste of it, which sounded remarkably peculiar and very promising.

Indeed, when his debut album, "Many Days", was released on Gothenburg label FETISH, it instantly became an all-time favourite of many of his listeners, finally able to enjoy his talented songwriting, his wide-ranged influences and his guitar skills complementing each other brilliantly in a solo environment which allowed him to fully express himself. And it also immediately gained him several new followers, captivated by the album's nods to punk, to noise rock as well as to industrial and experimental music, all of these blended together skillfully, at the same time creating a strange, dark in its very own way atmosphere throughout the whole record.
Now, he has recently completed his second solo album, titled "Poverty Metal", and he has teamed up with Finnish label Svart Records, that will release it in Fall 2020, alongside a reissue of his debut album. We're all eager to hear what this new record will be like and he has been so kind to answer some questions for all of us, so today we're incredibly excited to offer you this first-hand insight into Henke's upcoming album: from how his experience working on "Poverty Metal" differed from the previous one, to his creative process, from movies which have inspired him, to the new deal with Svart Records, and last but not least, some music and film recommendations: you can read it all below!
