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.

The lyrics of Magma's song "Zeuhl wortz" are written in a constructed language called Kobaïan and the meaning of the lyrics is not explicitly explained or translated by the band. However, based on various interpretations, the lyrics seem to be describing a powerful force called "Zeuhl wortz" which is a combination of mechanical and zeuhl (a style of music developed by Magma that incorporates elements of jazz, classical, and rock) energy. The first verse seems to be introducing this force and its components, followed by the second verse which describes the arrival of a being called Ïrkahn and the merging of its power with the Zeuhl wortz. The chorus repeats the phrase "Zeuhl wortz" multiple times, emphasizing the power and intensity of this force. The final verse describes the chaos and destruction caused by the Zeuhl wortz and the submission of those who witness it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Zeuhl wortz" convey a sense of mystery and awe towards a powerful and enigmatic force that is beyond human comprehension. The use of Kobaïan adds to the otherworldly atmosphere of the song and the repetition of the phrase "Zeuhl wortz" creates a hypnotic and trance-like effect.
