Prayers on Fire is the debut studio album by Australian rock group The Birthday Party, which was released on 6 April 1981 on the Missing Link label in Australia, later licensed to the 4AD label. This was the band's first full-length release on an international record label and the first after changing the group's name from Boys Next Door to The Birthday Party. It was recorded at Armstrong's Audio Visual Studios in Melbourne and Richmond Recorders in the nearby suburb of Richmond, between December 1980. Album 1981 13 Songs. More by The Birthday Party.

Кстати, до выхода Prayers On Fire группа имела название The Boys Next door и успела за это время выпустить 2 альбома, тоже неплохих и заслуживающих внимания. It should come as no surprise that there is an album in Nick Cave's oeuvre called Prayers on Fire a fascination with the dark, self-destructive side of religion is more than evident in his later work with the Bad Seeds. While there might not be any of the explicit Biblical imagery on Prayers on Fire that Cave would later ejaculate, the title of the album is apt, and its aptness is revealed almost immediately. Prayers On Fire is the first LP by The Birthday Party and to this day it remains one of the most disturbing pieces of music ever made. Beginning with tribal drumming and chanting, complete with a menacing bass-line on the opener Zoo-Music Girl and all the way to the sickeningly distorted parody of a blues song Kathys Kisses , the album works like a ride to a morbid party in Hell, happening in a deranged maniacs mind. The word sick is probably the best adjective to describe any track on this record this sickness is present on every song, taking over the listener in the process.
