Talk:Absu (band)

Extremely pretentious and somewhat erroneous
"Their lyrical themes are very unique, ranging from Celtic myths and legends, Azif's theology of the Necronomicon Mesopotamian/Sumerian mythology (especially under the powers of Dumuzi, Uruk, and the infamous Ugalla-demons), Etymology of Thoth, Tasseomancy, Sorcery, and weaponry skills of Cnihthad."

This does not need near as much description as it is given. Especially in need of editing is this phrase: "Azif's theology of the Necronomicon Mesopotamian/Sumerian mythology (especially under the powers of Dumuzi, Uruk, and the infamous Ugalla-demons)." The Necronomicon is a FICTIONAL book that has no origins in Mesopotamaian mythology. Al Azif was just another title for it in the works of H.P. Lovecraft. It's Arabic for the sounds of insects in the desert that ancient people interpreted as the chittering of demons. It is not a person, therefore it cannot be possessive. "Mesopotamian/Sumerian" is redundant, because Sumeria was PART of the Mesopotamian civilization. Also, the phrase "under the powers of Dumuzi, Uruk, and the infamous Ugalla-demons" does not particularly make sense. A mythology cannot be under any "powers".

The mentions of Sumerian demons, "Etymology of Thoth", "Tasseomancy", and "weaponry skills of Cnihthad" are far too specific for the purpose of describing the lyrical themes in the context of an encyclopedia article.

Overall, this page needs to be wikified.

I also added the link to their Myspace page which until the new website is up will serve as their temporary homepage. LK Thurisaz 15:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
