A French progressive rock band credited with inventing the
zeuhl subgenre. They are famous for chronicling the tales of the fictional planet Kobaia throughout their discography. Their songs are written in a fictional language known as Kobaian, a language for which there is currently no translation. Their
opus magnum is generally considered the third album in their chronicles,
Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh. Christian Vander was the frontman. The band displayed heavy jazz and classical influences.
"Da
Zeuhl wortz
Mekanik" and "
Hortz Fur Dehn Stekhen West" are Magma songs.
I went to see Magma at NEARFest last year.
