1) Magma is the brain-child of drummer/composer Christian Vander formed in Paris, France 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. Almost all of Magma's lyrics are sung in the constructed language known as "Kobaïan" and concerns a lengthy saga about Earth and the planet Kobaïa, with spiritual and environmental themes.
2) 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. Extended prog and folk songs see the use of both Mellotron and pan flutes. Despite being an 1980s outfit, their music is reminiscent of 70s progressive rock and 60s/70s folk. Truly a great example of music transculturation on various levels.
3) Magma is a German progressive/spacey band that recorded an album called Rock Duo Magma in 1975.
4) Magma (마그마) is a psychedelic band from Korea.
5) Magma is a pop-rock group from Poland.

The lyrics of Magma's song Gorutz waahrn are complicated and open to interpretation. The first few lines contain repetitive phrases that could be perceived as a chant or invocation, with "Wiïëehr" and "Wiïëehr Gëhmaïn dïehr" being repeated several times before the vocalist breaks out into a scream. The lyrics continue with the word "ZÏSS ÜNT!" being repeated 14 times, building up the tension until the song hits a climax with the word "STÖHTH!!!" (which means "stand up" in Kobaïan). The final lines of the song are a repetition of the first phrase followed by a series of elongated notes.
The meaning of the lyrics is not entirely clear, as Kobaïan is a constructed language which only Magma's founder and sole consistent member, Christian Vander, understands fully. However, it is possible to glean some insight into the themes and emotions expressed in the song. The repetition of "Wiïëehr" and "Wiïëehr Gëhmaïn dïehr" could suggest a sense of urgency or desperation, while the repeated phrase "ZÏSS ÜNT!" could be interpreted as a call to action or a rallying cry. The final word, "STÖHTH!!!", may be an exhortation to stand up against some form of oppression or injustice.
