Zeuhl is a style of music created by Christian Vander, founder of the French band Magma, in the early seventies. With the band, Vander fused Jazz, Progressive Rock, and Modern Classical music and constructed a language of his own, called Kobaïan. Greatly ambitious in scope, Zeuhl often uses large ensembles and choirs to create heavily disciplined, majestic music, often incorporating lyrics in Kobaïan.

Would you call this zeuhl?

https://voca.ro/1fzncl5Vvfvk I'm just curious of this could be referred to as zeuhl?

Inb4 I know it's a rough mix.

What is 'Zeuhl' for you?

I have been asking this question to myself recently while working on my own 'Zeuhl' album, how can we exactly define Zeuhl? Is it a compositional philosophy? Music in Kobaian? A sound?

A lot of people will probably fall more into the latter, but Vander himself has experimented a lot with the concept of Zeuhl, and a lot of Magma works past Attahk have a completely different sound to their past albums and almost any other 'Zeuhl' band, but it is still considered Zeuhl.

Playing Zeuhl fest in Mexico City with Fistfights With Wolves on Saturday 🎉

Fistfights With Wolves is a San Diego based prog band that does regular forays into Zeuhl.

The most idiomatic would be Religious Music For Pastafarians (RMFP) off the latest album.

Important question

Will they be playing Weidorje during the 2024 Paris Olympics? I think it would be a great idea for them to play Weidorje during the 2024 Paris Olympics.

My interpretation of the Mythology of Kobaia, in chronological order

Feel free to comment or correct me if you have any different interpretations. Naturally, this is not a detailed explanation, just a chronological order. I would like to hear your opinion.

KALISIA - brilliant zeuhl

Kalisia’s epic concept album Cybion. Sold online as a single track for very cheap, this is one long-ass amazing progressive soundscape that probably shouldn’t be missed. These guys come from France which puts out some of the best progressive/avant garde metal in the world right now and these guys aren’t an exception to this.

Are there any ideas you want to express about the subreddit? Share them here!

Would you guys use and enjoy a wiki? Perhaps a few pages on how to get into Zeuhl and a playlist to get into Zeuhl? Or maybe a page on the lore and history of Kobaïa. Let's brainstorm! :D

Rïah Sahïltaak

i never cared so much for this song but HOLY ZEUHL now I love It

it sounds so chaotic, jazzy and prog that i almost transcended (has more variations than some of their 40 min epics tho)
