Kartëhl or Kãrtëhl[1] is the fifteenth studio album by French progressive rock and zeuhl group Magma, released on 30 September 2022 by Seventh Records as a compact disc and three-sided double LP.
For the title Hakëhn Deïs, Magma has released a music video clip for the first time in its more than 50-year band history.
In the video, two dancers from the Paris Opera, alienated by artificial intelligence, dance in an expressionist style to the music.
He rates the "wonderfully diversified" album, compared to its predecessor Zëss.
[6] Michael Büttgen of the internet music portal Betreutes Proggen rates the album 12 out of 15 points and judges: "Kartëhl is somehow a classic Magma album, but it seems to leave the 1970s behind a bit and surprises instead with many new and also unusual ideas.
