Henrik Palm - Given Demon

"Given Demon" is a tune taken from the upcoming sophomore album "Poverty Metal" by the eclectic Swedish multi-instrumentalist Henrik Palm. The album is set to be released on October 16th, by Svart Records.

From his work with an almost limitless multitude of acts such as IN SOLITUDEs renewal of heavy metal, darlings of the underrated underground: PIG EYES, his stint in GHOST, prog rock grandmasters GÖSTA BERLINGS SAGA, punk veterans ISOTOPE SOAP and experimental weirdos SÖDRA SVERIGE, Henrik Palm is a post-punk, heavy-pop sonic contortionist of the finest order. From being hand-picked for Tomas Lindberg’s (AT THE GATES) curated Roadburn Festival performance to opening for acts like VOIVOD and winning the hearts of well-known fans such as Jacob Bannon (CONVERGE) and Scott Carlson (REPULSION), Henrik Palm has been blowing all of us away for good a while now. Everything we’re looking for in a fresh and modern genre clash, Henrik’s music is catchy, well-crafted, beautiful and ugly in the same intense and challenging moment. Impossible to define, Henrik Palm is a perfect reflection of his eclectic tastes and infamously insatiable vinyl collection, fitting Svart’s groundbreaking roster perfectly.

Henrik says “I love to experiment with weird instruments, tunings and anything that makes the song better, creepier, more beautiful or whatever. Fuck genres. Identity and feeling is more important,” and his music is a wildly fresh distortion of conventions”

According to Henrik Palm, seventy percent of his musical diet consists of raw punk with some TROUBLE, CELTIC FROST, THROBBING GRISTLE and MY BLOODY VALENTINE to round things out.

“His name should ring a bell with everybody into anything heavier in our beloved alternative underground scene. He has been a part of seminal bands such as IN SOLITUDE and GHOST, and also more “off the map” bands such as the groundbreaking PIG EYES.” Thomas Lindberg (AT THE GATES)

"Given Demon" is a tune with prog excursions and heavy-pop sonic contortions that sounds really good, check it out below.
