Album Notes & Community Reviews
Delving deeper into Christian Vander's complex Kobaïan mythology, Magma delivered a staggering, terrifyingly intense masterwork centered around an ancient Egyptian tomb. 'Köhntarkösz' is a fiercely progressive, remarkably dark Zeuhl epic, driven by highly hypnotic, wildly shifting time signatures and a profoundly ominous, deeply mysterious avant-garde atmosphere.
