Poverty Metal
In the realm of metal music, there are few genres as obscure and enigmatic as "poverty metal." And Henrik Palm's latest offering, fittingly titled Poverty Metal, is a prime example of the genre's raw, unpolished charm. From the moment the opening track kicks in, it's clear that Palm is not here to play by the rules. The gritty, lo-fi production only adds to the album's DIY aesthetic, giving each song a sense of urgency and authenticity that is often missing in mainstream metal. Palm's vocals are a highlight, ranging from guttural growls to soaring melodic lines with ease. His lyrics are a mix of social commentary and personal reflection, painting a bleak but strangely compelling picture of the world around us. The instrumentation on Poverty Metal is equally impressive, with Palm effortlessly blending elements of black metal, punk, and even shoegaze to create a sound that is uniquely his own. The guitars are abrasive and chaotic, the drums pounding and relentless, and the bass rumbling ominously in the background. Overall, Poverty Metal is a bold and uncompromising statement from Henrik Palm, showcasing his undeniable talent and creativity. While it may not be for everyone, those who appreciate music that pushes boundaries and challenges conventions will find plenty to enjoy here. So throw on your tattered leather jacket, crank up the volume, and embrace the glorious chaos of poverty metal.

Prisons of Poverty
An international best seller dissects the globalization of penal policies “made in U.S.A.” as part of the spread of neoliberalismIn the early 1990s, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani launched a zero-tolerance campaign aimed at street disorders and petty offenders, incarnated in the infamous “squeegee man.” New York City soon became a planetary showcase for an aggressive approach to law enforcement that, despite its extravagant costs and the absence of connection to the crime drop, came to be admired and imitated by other cities in the United States, Western Europe, and Latin America. In Prisons of Poverty, Loïc Wacquant tracks the incubation and internationalization of the slogans, theories, and measures composing this new punitive “common sense,” fashioned to curb mounting urban inequality and marginality in the metropolis.He finds that a network of Reagan-era conservative think tanks (led by the Manhattan Institute) forged them as weapons in their crusade to dismantle the welfare state and, in effect, to criminalize poverty.He traces their import and export through the agency of the media and the pro-market policy institutes that have mushroomed across the European Union, particularly in Tony Blair’s Britain. And he shows how academics helped smuggle U.S. techniques of penalization into their countries by dressing them up in scholarly garb. Now available in English for the first time in an expanded edition, Prisons of Poverty reveals how the Washington consensus on economic deregulation and welfare retrenchment was extended to encompass punitive crime control because the invisible hand of the market necessitates and calls forth the iron fist of the penal state.

Poverty Metal
Henrik Palm's latest album, "Poverty Metal," offers a refreshing take on the genre that will leave you scratching your head in confusion. While some may argue that combining poverty and metal is like mixing oil and water, Palm manages to create a sound that is both dissonant and oddly compelling. The album kicks off with the haunting track "Broke But Metal," which sets the tone for an album that explores themes of economic hardship and headbanging riffs. Tracks like "Penny Pincher Pyromaniac" and "Bankruptcy Blues" showcase Palm's ability to seamlessly blend complex guitar work with lyrics that hit close to home. However, the real standout on this album is the closing track, "Metallic Misery," which features a cacophony of distorted guitars and anguished vocals that will leave you feeling oddly satisfied. Overall, "Poverty Metal" is a bold and bizarre offering from Henrik Palm that may not be for everyone, but for those willing to embrace its eccentricities, it is a rewarding listen.
