Darkest Zeuhl Album

Could anyone tell me which is the most dark, kind of evil satanic zeuhl album?, I really like the chanting style of MDK by Magma, and I don't know much about zeuhl so any tip on where to start would be helpful.

Thanks
    

Other than the few Magma Albums already suggested, I feel these have there place in Dark Zeuhl.

Shub Niggurath - Les Morts Vont Vite

Another one worth checking out, if you can find it.

Archaia

They are a french band who only brought out one album in 1977. They have a very dark creep sound. The only problem is you might have a bit of trouble tracking this one down, it has become somewhat a collects item now.

here are some interesting reviews on there labels site.

If anybody know anymore information about this band I would be very interested.

Guapo "Five Suns" & "Black Oni" are pretty good dark, instrumental zeuhlish stuff

Yup, Guapo is very dark too, but indeed not really Zeuhl, although influenced by it.

These are all kind of on the fringes of zeuhl, but what comes to mind for me are:

Shub Niggurath - anything (Les Morts Vont Vite is the one to go for)
Yeti - Things to Come...
Guapo - Five Suns or Black Oni

I never really found Magma to be that dark.

Shub Niggurath - Les Morts Vont Vites seems to the popular choice, and a very good one too.

This is a little bit of information/review.

Here's a pretty fantastic discovery we just made (although the disc was released a few years ago). It's a seventy-minute long single track entitled "Neheh", the result of four members of French prog-weirdos Magma jamming together one night in '73. We thought this would sound like a scaled down Magma, or some sort of jazz improv session. But, instead, this neither. It's absolutely unlike the jackboot precision of Magma circa '73's "Mechanik Destructiw Kommandoh" (which was in fact recorded, like, the next day!). Although this does share the esoteric spiritual aspects of Magma, there's none of Magma's grandiose rock/jazz/Wagner fusion here. Rather, it's a late-night excursion into kosmiche avant-hippy freakout realms, starting with unearthly vocal chant/drone and moving into percussion spasms, clarinet eruptions, and organ improv. So, instead of mother-band Magma, this should be compared to Amon Duul, the Sun City Girls, the No Neck Blues Band, Yahowah 13, and (closer to home) Thuja. Beautiful and wild, totally inspired. It's strange that this went unreleased until the '90s-- maybe Vander and Co. didn't want to dilute the Magma concept with something so loose and organic and, uh, 'of the times'. Still, it's one of our absolute favorite Magma-related documents, and should even appeal to those scared off by Magma's prog/fusion chops. Recommended!! (By the way, along with this, we've restocked a bunch of Magma classics, and we definitely have 'em at the best price you'll probably find anywhere.)

from http://www.aquariusrecords.org/cat/v36.html where you are able to purchase the album, just look down the bottom of the page.

I'm also sure they would most likely stock it at Magma's record label, Seventh Records.

I have read some rumours about Vander having Nazi sympathies, but I don't think it's true. The fact alone that he is a great fan of John Coltrane makes it very unlikely (Nazi's weren't very tolerant towards either Afro-American people and jazz).

Dark, heavy, slow Zeuhl

Why? What is said?

Thanks for the links and help.

Anyone here like Yoshida Tatsuya's zeuhl work? He's in plenty of music ventures - most of which I would call zeuhl. Drummer/Singer/Composer who is obsessed with Magma - He plays in Ruins, Koenjihyakkei, others...
