Nicholas Edward Cave (born 22 September 1957) is an internationally renowned musician from the North East of Victoria, UsefulNotes/{{Australia}}. He started out in Music/TheBirthdayParty, a rather weird PostPunk band who would become a big influence on GothRock. In the middle of TheEighties he went on to found ''Nick Cave and the Cavemen,'' who fairly quickly re-named themselves to ''Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.'' In later years he's formed a third band, ''Grinderman,'' which -- very unusually for him -- plays rather [[ThreeChordsAndTheTruth straightforward rock music.]]
He is also the author of the novels: ''Literature/AndTheAssSawTheAngel'' and ''The Death of Bunny Munro,'' as well as the scripts for ''Film/TheProposition'' and ''Film/{{Lawless}}'', for which he and bandmate Warren Ellis (no, not ''that'' Creator/WarrenEllis) also composed the soundtracks. And he's occasionally acted, most notably in ''Film/WingsOfDesire'' (where he appears AsHimself in concert) and ''Film/TheAssassinationOfJesseJamesByTheCowardRobertFord'' (he appears as a musician, playing the folk song "UsefulNotes/JesseJames"), which he and Ellis again scored. The film version of ''Film/TheRoad'' was scored by him and Ellis, and directed by ''John Hillcoat,'' who also did ''The Proposition'' and ''Lawless''.
In 2023 he was part of the Australian delegation to the coronation of King Charles III, marking his gradual transformation from wild young man into a notable Australian artist.
His songs range from gentle love songs, to angsty songs of pain, to full-on [[MurderBallad murder ballads]]; he wrote a whole album of the latter. He's also known for deeply held, though unconventional, religious views; his songs and novels are rife with Christian symbolism, though he denies in recent interviews that he believes in a personal or interventionist God (So... Deist, maybe? Post-theist?). His song "Into My Arms" specifically opens with the lyric "I don't believe in an interventionist God", so there you go.

* SouthernGothicSatan: The song "Red Right Hand" with the Bad Seeds from their album ''Music/LetLoveIn'' could be said to be one of these. This character arrives in a storm and gives people their hearts' desires, but only as the prelude to some unspecified sinister plot. Slightly averted in that whatever misfortune comes to the people that deal with him, it's probably less a karmic punishment for their own misdeeds, and more just whatever it is that The Man wants to make happen.
