Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh Edition with Download Code)

Description

This 1973 album is widely regarded as Magma's masterpiece, their magnum opus. It tells the story of Nebëhr Gudahtt, a prophet who tries to make people of earth to understand the Kobaian philosophy. 'Magma s third album was where their sound kicked out the jazz and became as stark as the monochromatic sleeve of gold and black that it housed... It s the equivalent of a musical death march as performed by marathon runners outfitted in full body armour as black robed maidens bedecked with metal breastplates wail lamentably by torchlight while recounting their past victories...not to mention their future tragedies. Subtitled The Third Movement of Theusz Hamtaahk and sung in their mythic tongue of Kobaian, 'Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh' is one unflaggingly dark and spiritual cataclysm, so hold onto your hat and head and try to follow along with the lyric sheet, if you dare...'
