What were the longterm demographic and political effects of the population transfer / resettlement policies of the Neo-Assyrian Empire?

I’ve seen estimates that up to 4.4 million people were shipped around the Empire at various times, in an empire that had between 10-15 million people. Many of these people were of varying ethnicities (some related, some not), spoke different languages and prayed differently.

Was this noted afterwards? Did it significantly impact empires thereafter? Did people acknowledge having multiple distinct ethnic backgrounds in more mixed areas?

Any bands like Black Sabbath where a key figure, especially the singer (like Ozzy) left but the band continued having success under a new singer (Dio)?

I recently really started re-listening to a lot of Black Sabbath and Ozzy, and I really like a lot of the post-Ozzy stuff under Ronnie James Dio. I really love Ozzy, but I still like what they make under Dio.

Anyone have any recommendations on other notable rock / hard-rock / metalbands with something comparable?

*Two teams of 10.

Batman and John Constantine are not aware of the incoming threat and are unaware that the other will face the same threat.

The Deadites have very little knowledge about Batman and John Constantine, only being told by a greater Daemon that it’ll likely be the toughest fight of their lives, but great rewards are coming with success.

Are these about two of the worst targets possible for Deadites to try and take out? Do they have a reasonable chance of maybe succeeding? Between Batman and Constantine, who do they have a better shot against?
