Faith, Hope and Carnage is a meditation on faith, art, music, freedom, grief and love.

Created from more than forty hours of intimate conversations with Seán O’Hagan, it is a profoundly thoughtful exploration, in [Nick] Cave’s own words, of what really drives his life and creativity.

Enlightening, even for non-fans

I've never been filed under "Nick Cave fan," though I owe him musical debts that take too long too explain. A non-fan expects a goth rocker with all the tropes that go with the phrase. In this series of interviews with friend and journalist Seán O'Hagan, Cave opens up about his faith (!) and how the death of his son, followed by Covid, changed the trajectory of his life and music.
