Paris, France (1969 – 1983, 1996 – present)
There are multiple artists with this name:
1) Magma is the French brain-child of drummer/composer Christian Vander formed in Paris in 1969, disbanded in 1983 and reformed in 1996. Starting with a base of experimental rock heavily influenced by jazz and 20th century classical music, the band developed such a unique style of progressive rock that it became a new genre called “Zeuhl.” Characterized by insistent and repetitive rhythms, dramatic vocals, virtuosic solos, heavy bass playing, and jazzy drums, Zeuhl has been emulated by numerous followers from all over the world.
Much of Magma’s music is written in the constructed language known as “Kobaïan” and concerns a lengthy saga about Earth and the planet Kobaïa, with spiritual and environmental themes.
Musician John Lydon (of Public Image Ltd. and Sex Pistols fame) is known to have been a big fan, even seeing the group in concert.
2) Magma is a modern thrash metal band from Belgrade, Serbia. They are a famous underground Serbian demo band, and they recorded their first album, and now looking for label.

3) Magma is a progressive folk group from Argentina. The music retains strong Andean influences and is notable for incorporating the flutes of the region. Their output is notable for meshing the Andean elements with Spanish folk guitar and the adoption of European song structures and instrumentation.

For me I'd say the best are Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh, Ẁurdah Ïtah, Köhntarkösz, K.A., Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré, and Trilogie au Trianon. Really, though, most of Magma's output is flawless; the only particularly subpar entries in their discography are Merci and Inedits.

Also I'm pretty disappointed that I'll probably never get to see these guys live. They're way too obscure to come to the U.S. :(

Are they really playing at Uncle Lou's in Orlando, FL...? Got to be a different Magma. I played there when I was with my friend's band Nespithe... no way they're playing there. That would be pretty fuckin' incredible, though.

So glad Iridium Flares isn't anywhere near being the top track anymore.

Saw them for the second time in Oslo tonight. Both easily among the best concerts I've been to. Played a lot of new material this time, and it was great! Took lots of photos. Will share.
