Moreover, the lyrics of "Kobaïa", the first song of the first album, is sung mostly and surprisingly in English.

* WidgetSeries: With their militaristic ConLang chants, bizarre polyrhythms, and philosophical sci-fi underpinnings, Magma are ''easily'' one of the most notorious examples of musical WTF.

* LoudnessWar: Some of their more recent recordings suffer from this. The worst offenders are probably ''Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré'', ''Köhntarkösz Anteria'', and ''Mythes et Légendes Epok 1'', which are audibly clipped. Other recordings are still affected, but have higher dynamic ranges. Their most recent studio record, ''Zëss'', has a score of [=DR10=], with no track scoring below [=DR8=].

* GratuitousForeignLanguage: The closing of ''Zëss'' includes the choir repeating "Sanctus, sanctus Jesus Christos, Jesus Christos", which means "Holy, holy Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ" in [[GratuitousLatin Latin]]. (However, the lyrics apparently spell the latter name as "Ϊëzüsz krïstüsz", suggesting the Latin form of Jesus' name has made it over to Kobaïan.) Then it closes with "Om", which in {{UsefulNotes/Hinduism}} symbolises "the essence of the ultimate reality, consciousness or Atman. More broadly, it is a syllable that is chanted either independently or before a spiritual recitation in Hinduism, {{UsefulNotes/Buddhism}}, and {{UsefulNotes/Jainism}}," per Wiki/ThatOtherWiki. In context (again, this album is about the end of ''everything''), this almost comes across as an EmergencyMultifaithPrayer, or possibly the future religion of Kobaïan is simply a fusion of beliefs from settlers from Earth of several different religions - it's not entirely clear.

It's not clear what the extent of it is, but it was bad enough to cause significant numbers of people to leave Earth. Taken UpToEleven with ''Zëss'', which is about the end of ''everything''.

* AbsenteeActor: A strange musical example, as Vander doesn't actually play on ''Zëss''. He has commented on interviews that he abstained from performing so as to have a more objective view of the performances on the record. He still performs vocals, however. The drums on the album were played by Swedish drummer Morgan Ågren of Mats/Morgan, [[Music/{{Meshuggah}} Frederik Thordendal's Special Defects]], Music/DevinTownsend, and other acts.
