About

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus is the thirteenth studio album by Australian rock group Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, released as a double album on Mute Records in 2004. It reached number two on the UK Albums Chart and is regarded as a resurgent work, with Abattoir Blues featuring an unexpectedly ferocious, gospel-infused rock sound and The Lyre of Orpheus providing a more reflective counterpoint.
