Released in 2016, this album marked a significant stylistic shift for the French quartet, moving towards a more atmospheric, stripped-back, and emotionally charged sound. While still retaining their signature polyrhythmic precision and crushing riffs, "Magma" introduces a haunting sense of melody and space that sets it apart as a landmark in progressive metal.

The record is anchored by the massive, groove-heavy anthem "Silvera" and the hypnotic, riff-driven "Stranded," both of which have become staples of the band’s legendary live sets. From the primal energy of "The Cell" to the ethereal, mourning tones of the title track "Magma," the album explores themes of loss, spirituality, and inner strength. On vinyl, the production—handled by Joe Duplantier himself at his Silver Cord Studio—shines with a raw, organic warmth that highlights the sheer power of Mario Duplantier’s drumming and the unique, harmonized guitar textures.

"Magma" is an essential LP for any contemporary metal collection. It is the sound of a band transcending the limits of death metal to create something truly transcendent and universal. Whether you are a long-time follower of the Duplantier brothers or a newcomer to their sonic world, this record is a definitive, high-fidelity experience that resonates long after the final note.
