Since joining the Bad Seeds in 1994, Warren Ellis has played an increasingly important role in the musical universe of Nick Cave, to the point that the two Australians have multiplied their projects outside of the group, with a total complicity that shines on both their movie soundtracks and their duo records. Cave’s prose – increasingly inhabited by the sacred and the poetic – has found the perfect vessel in Ellis’s scores and instrumentation, a sort of churchlike New Age, alternating between tension and evanescence, like an almost supernatural chamber rock.

A new peak of this artistic friendship, this copious, magnificent, 18-track live album was recorded in their home country of Australia, at the Sydney Opera House in December 2022. At the heart of Australian Carnage – Live at the Sydney Opera House is the very intense “Carnage” released by the tandem in February 2021 and played nearly in its entirety on the live album, but Nick Cave and Warren Ellis don’t forget to sprinkle in a few highlights of the Bad Seeds album Ghosteen. They also lean on the impressive vocal palisade built by their backing vocalists Janet Rasmus, Wendi Rose, and T Jae Cole, alongside the rhythmic punctuations of bassist Colin Greenwood and drummer Toby Dammit. The result is a fascinating reflection of the alchemy the songwriter has been conceiving for decades. A fusion between – warning, the shopping list is long – despair, empathy, sadness, faith, redemption, chagrin, love, joy, and loss.

Since the death of two of his sons, Arthur in 2015 and Jethro in 2022, Nick Cave has found even greater solace in his art, anchored in the spiritual (the DNA of gospel is everywhere) and the dreamlike. This sensation is heightened by prophetic layers of keyboard and Warren Ellis’s shamanic violin. Yet in spite of all of the heavy touches, this live album is a festive celebration, and Nick Cave doesn’t forget to crack a joke or two between songs. He even revisits T-Rex’s “Cosmic Dancer”, just to remind everyone that rock and roll is still running through his veins. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
