Thirteenth studio album by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, originally released in 2004. Produced by Nick Launay at Studio Ferber in Paris in March-April 2004 with Cave splitting drumming duties for the two parts, with Jim Sclavunos on 'Abattoir Blues' and Thomas Wydler on 'Lyre Of Orpheus'. Joined by English guitarist and organist, James Johnston on this record. The entire album was completed in twelve days, and notably, the last track on the album, 'O Children', was featured in the 2010 film 'Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part One'.
Achieved Top Five chart positions in 10 countries. 'Abattoir Blues' is very definitely a rock 'n' roll record, with 'The Lyre Of Orpheus' a quieter, more considered collection of songs.
