about

Second album by ambient drone horror doom band Topheth is called "Pazuzu". It's available here for streaming and downloading.

After debut album "MLK" inspired by human sacrifice acts to deity of Moloch (Molech) and mini album "Kalhu's Lullaby", second album "Pazuzu" is inspired by Assyrian and Babylonian mythology, especially demon Pazuzu.

Pazuzu was a grotesque demonic deity of Assyria and Bablylonia in the first millennium BCE, commonly depicted in amulets, plaques and small figurines as having a canine face, body scales, a snake-headed penis, the talons of a bird or the claws of a lion and, usually, one or more pairs of wings.

Although frequently regarded as a malevolent demon of the underworld, Pazuzu seems also to have played a beneficent role as a protector against pestilential winds (and particularly the south-west wind). Moreover, Pazuzu's association with Lamaštu led to his employment as a force against her evil, forcing her back into the Underworld. Amulets of the demon Pazuzu (or simply of his head and face) were therefore often situated in houses or hung about the necks of pregnant women.
