French progressive rock/Zeuhl legends Magma were initially around from 1969 to 1984, but they returned in 1996 after a 12-year break and they've been going strong ever since. They last released the album Zëss in 2019, last played the US at Psycho Las Vegas 2017, and last did a proper US tour in 2016. Now they've signed a deal with Prophecy Productions (home to such bands as Alcest and Lantlôs, as well as another reunited classic '60s/'70s band, Coven), and they're promising "a future collaboration – with more details to be revealed in due time." No word yet on what that means (new album? reissue? none of the above?) but we're excited either way, so stay tuned.
