Description: 'Apocalyptic' has rolled off the tongue of more than one music critic to describe Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, or indeed his earlier incarnation as part of The Birthday Party. But what exactly does it mean to describe their music as apocalyptic? I take two paths here: a fairly conventional one that outlines the generally agreed upon notions of apocalyptic in biblical studies; and one that is far less conventional, for it seeks the way Nick Cave constructs his own apocalyptic world from the building blocks of biblical apocalyptic.
