They resemble medievalists such as Dead Can Dance and Arcana, but with a darker somewhat comparable to dark ambient bands like Shinjuku Thief. Their first album also featured Empress Lilith and Minh Ninjao on backing vocals. The project's status is currently unknown, as the official Pazuzu website hasn't been updated in some time.

Pazuzu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Das Blut, Feind des Todes.
Die Stille, Bruder der Nacht.
Das Flehen, Kind der Rache.
Die Liebe, willing des Hass.
Das Auge, Traum des Blinden.
Die Torheit, Verbrechen des Menschen.
Verflucht sei das Vergehen der Geburt.
Ich füge mich der Hand desTodes.

Was frderst du, der du dich Schöpfer schimpfst.
Ich blicke auf dich herab.

Nieder mit der Welt des Lebens -
Feuer nimim jesst meine Hand...

Overall Meaning

In Pazuzu's song Outro, the lyrics explore several contrasting concepts: blood as the enemy of death, silence as the brother of night, pleading as the offspring of revenge, love as the desire for hate, the eye as the dream of the blind, and foolishness as humanity's crime. The song also expresses an overall sentiment of disdain for the world of the living, with the singer ultimately accepting their own death at the hand of the Grim Reaper. The final lines of the song describe the singer's hand being consumed by fire, perhaps symbolizing their embodiment of death.

These lyrics can be interpreted as an exploration of the dualities in life and death, as well as the human tendencies towards destruction and self-destruction. By personifying these concepts and exploring their relationships with one another, Pazuzu creates a haunting and thought-provoking meditation on mortality and existence.
