HENRIK PALM - Idiot Plot LP (Preorder)

NB! Preorder item, release December 4.

Henrik Palm is one of Swedish underground music's most restless and genre-defying figures. A veteran of In Solitude and early band member of Ghost, he has spent the better part of two decades moving freely between heavy metal, post-punk, krautrock, and whatever else catches his ear. Alternating between the world of being a solo artist and an in-demand collaborator has always come naturally to him, over the years Henrik has worked with Go?sta Berlings Saga, Pig Eyes, So?dra Sverige, Horndal, and stepped in as a live musician for Viagra Boys and Hurula. Across the Swedish underground, when someone needs the right person for the job, Henrik Palm’s name tends to come up.

Along the way he has earned devoted fans and built a cult following that led him to being hand-picked for Tomas ”Tompa” Lindberg's curated Roadburn Festival program in 2019, as well as supporting Voivod multiple times.

His solo catalogue, Many Days (2017), Poverty Metal (2020), and Nerd Icon (2024), maps the trajectory of an artist incapable of repeating himself. Poverty Metal earned a P3 Guld nomination for Rock/metal of the Year, further cementing his place in the Swedish underground. Each record pulls from a different corner of his infamously insatiable vinyl collection, landing somewhere between Melvins, Wipers, Black Sabbath and Voivod with an extra layer of raw, Scandinavian darkness.

Idiot Plot, his fourth album, was born from burnout, Sunday studio sessions, and the stubborn return of joy. It is his most psychedelic and unhinged record yet, and somehow also his most direct.
