Review: Cave's primal energy - and primary-school back up

NICK Cave sang ''I don't believe in an interventionist God'' on his 1997 ballad Into My Arms, but perhaps he might change his mind after Sydney-based religious group Hillsong knocked his latest album from the top of the ARIA charts.

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds' new album Push The Sky Away debuted at No.1 last week - the first in the band's 30-year career to do so - but on Sunday it was bumped by Zion, by the Christian rock band Hillsong United.

The Hillsong church has released more than 50 albums in the past 20 years, and Zion is the 13th to make the top 10.
