Poverty metal

"For those not tuned in to the metal underground, Henrik Palm is the coolest guitarist you've never heard of. For those already familiar, this solo outing from the former In Solitude/Ghost man is a collection as dark, melodic, frequently strange and soaked in slow-burning post-punk nihilism as you'd hope. Only better ... More than just a great guitar player, he is a truly superb and identifiable artist in his own right, and Poverty Metal captures his incredible musical voice perfectly".

"Despite its austere artwork and general air of DIY grit, Poverty Metal is an astonishingly colourful and esoteric affair. Henrik Palm has a diverse CV including stints in In Solitude and (allegedly) Ghost, but his solo work sounds quite unlike anything else he has done. There's a magpie-like accumulation of ideas going on here, but somehow it all hangs together".

"... det er lykkedes Palm forholdsvis godt at forene metalelementer med, hvad jeg kun kan beskrive som en singer-song-writer-tilgang til pladen. Det er også derfor, fordi albummet i en vis grad er drevet af personen, at jeg mener, at Palms tekster og vokal godt må fylde lidt i anmeldelsen. Med det sagt er det også et imponerende værk, taget i betragtning, at det altså kun er en enkelt mands værk".
