Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds announced this week that they will releasing their 14th studio album, DIG, LAZARUS, DIG!!! On the 3rd March 2008.

The album, which was recorded at the State of the Ark studios in England, was produced by Cave and The Bad Seeds along with Nick Launay who also worked on their last album Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus.

Nick Cave was inducted into the ARIA Hall of fame last week, finally accepting the honour following six years of declining to be admitted. However, in true Cave style it was on his terms. After thanking members of The Bad Seeds and The Birthday Party in his speech he took it upon himself to induct his band mates in as well, proclaiming “I would like to, by the power vested in me, induct these people also into the Aria Hall of Fame”.
