The 1990s saw Cave move between São Paulo and England, and find inspiration in the New Testament. of the Civil Dead, an Australian prison film which he co-wrote and scored. Much of their early material is set in a mythic American Deep South, drawing on spirituals and Delta blues, while Cave's preoccupation with Old Testament notions of good versus evil culminated in what has been called his signature song, " The Mercy Seat" (1988), and in his debut novel, And the Ass Saw the Angel (1989). The band broke up soon after moving to Berlin in 1982, and Cave formed Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds the year after, later described as one of rock's "most redoubtable, enduring" bands. Cave became recognised for his confrontational performances, his shock of black hair and pale, emaciated look.
Disillusioned by life there, they evolved towards a darker and more challenging sound that helped inspire gothic rock and acquired a reputation as "the most violent live band in the world". īorn and raised in rural Victoria, Cave studied art in Melbourne before fronting the Birthday Party, one of the city's leading post-punk bands, in the late 1970s. Known for his baritone voice and for fronting the rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Cave's music is generally characterised by emotional intensity, a wide variety of influences and lyrical obsessions with death, religion, love and violence. Nicholas Edward Cave AO (born 22 September 1957 ) is an Australian singer, songwriter, poet, lyricist, author, screenwriter, composer and occasional actor.
