Magma es un grupo musical francés, usualmente considerado como creador del estilo de música conocido como «Zeuhl», aunque ocasionalmente también se le incluye dentro de la corriente Rock In Opposition (RIO). Fue fundado en 1969 por el compositor, baterista y cantante Christian Vander. Actualmente el grupo sigue activo.

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 Kobaia. Later, conflict arises when the Kobaians —
descendants of the original colonists — encounter other Earth refugees

Vander invented a constructed language, Kobaian, in which most lyrics are
sung. In a 1977 interview with Vander and long-time Magma vocalist Klaus
Blasquiz, Blasquiz said that Kobaian is a "phonetic language made by
elements of the Slavonic and Germanic languages to be able to express
some things musically. The language has of course a content, but not
word by word." Vander himself has said that, "When I wrote, the sounds
came naturally with it – I didn’t intellectualise the process by saying
"Ok, now I’m going to write some words in a particular language", it was
really sounds that were coming at the same time as the music." Later
albums tell different stories set in more ancient times; however, the
Kobaian language remains an integral part of the music.

In 1986, the French label Seventh Records was founded in order to (re-)publish
Magma's and Vander's work. Over the years, Seventh has also released
albums by related artists such as Stella Vander, Patrick Gauthier and
Collectif Mu.
