Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging...

What does it matter, a dream of love or a dream of lies? We're all gonna be the same place when we die Your spirit don't leave knowing your face or your name And the wind through your bones is all that remains. "Dirt in the Ground," Tom Waits

And some people say it's just rock and roll. Ah, but it gets you right down to your soul. Propelled by explosive post-punk and alternative rock, with a smattering of gothic rock and punk blues, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds emerged out of the ashes of Cave's previous band The Birthday Party in the early 1980s. Often concocting violent nightmare fuel featuring appearances from remorseless murderers, scheming rapists, lovesick ghosts, criminals on death row (and those who still roam free), and Satan himself, narrated from grim locales like electric chairs, graveyards, and homes doomed to collapse against the coming flood, it doesn't take much work to assemble a hair-raising compilation of songs from the band's discography. They do have an album titled Murder Ballads, after all. Listen here.
