Australian-born Nick Cave had a long career (almost 10 years) of live performances and albums before he became widely known as Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, band members including the same people he played together from the very beginning (The Birthday Party). Not considered mainstream but with significant fanbase, he is now one of the most important and influential singer/songwriters in the world.
Nick Cave’s songs are never mediocre; they are either extraordinary, imaginative, purely brilliant or outrageously repetitive but with eclectic lyrics at all times. He is outstanding for introducing the “murder”concept, not in one album only but in the entirety of his work. Not every single song talks about killings however (this would end up idiotic) but a macabre atmosphere of (self)destruction and decadence, is omnipresent.
