"Songs are little dangerous bombs of truth" - Nick Cave

Oh yes, it's everyone's favourite gothic Godfather.

Unsurprisingly we're all a bunch of Nick Cave nuts here at Rough Trade so we thought we should share the love with all you wonderful people.

We've discounted some of his greatest work, for a limited time only, to celebrate the release of his jaw-dropping new book <a href="https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/nick-cave-and-sean-o-hagan/faith-hope-carnage">Faith, Hope and Carnage</a>.

And after hours of heated debate we have, somehow, decided which are his best albums. Find out where your favourite finished <a href="https://blog.roughtrade.com/gb/ranked-nick-caves-greatest-albums/">here</a>.

Discover... Nick Cave

Carnage is a new album by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, recorded over a period of weeks during lockdown. Although the pair have composed and recorded many soundtracks together, and Ellis is a long-term member of The Bad Seeds, this is the first time they have released an entire album of songs as a duo. Cave describes the album as "a brutal but very beautiful record nested in a communal catastrophe."

"Making Carnage was an accelerated process of intense creativity," says Ellis, "the eight songs were there in one form or another within the first two and a half days." Cave and Ellis' sonic and lyrical adventurism continues apace on Carnage, an album that emerged almost by accident out of the downtime created by the long, anxious, global emergency. Carnage is a record for these uncertain times - one shot through with moments of distilled beauty and that resonates with an almost defiant sense of hope.
