Magma is a French progressive rock band founded in Paris in 1969 by classically trained drummer Christian Vander, who claimed as his inspiration a "vision of humanity's spiritual and ecological future" that profoundly disturbed him. In the course of their first album, the band tells the story of a group of people fleeing a doomed Earth to settle on the planet Kobaïa. Later, conflict arises when the Kobaïans — descendants of the original colonists — encounter other Earth refugees. A remarkable aspect of Magma's albums is that Vander actually invented a constructed language, Kobaïan, in which most lyrics are sung. Later albums told different stories set in more ancient times; however the Kobaïan language remained an integral part of the music.
So many musicians played with Magma over the years, who then went on to form their own solo projects and/or spinoff acts, that the Kobaïan term Zeuhl came to refer to the style of these bands and the French jazz fusion/symphonic rock scene that grew around them. Beyond Christian Vander, the drummer/composer, the best known of the old Magma lineup was probably Jannick Top, the bassist/co-composer. After Üdü Wüdü, Magma disbanded for a year until reuniting under a slightly different direction than before.
Attahk is the eighth studio album by Magma. It was released in 1978.
