BBI is Philippe Bussonet on bass (Magma's magnificent bassist since 1995, as well as one of the powers behind One Shot), Jean-Claude Buire on drums (drummer for Offering in the late 1980s) and Laurent Imperato on guitar (a founding member of Xaal, although he had left by the time they started recording.
This was Philippe's side-band before co-forming One Shot and this studio work was recorded in 1996, but never released until now. They are a power trio that mixes the most 'rock' aspects of One Shot...

Carmina were a French zeuhl band who existed in the 70s, but never released anything duri

Paco Casanova - keys, synths, organ, vocals
Patrick Shiroishi - saxophones, guitar, glockenspiel, vocals
Ryan Kamiyamazaki - bass
Gopala Bhakta - drums, tabla, vocals

Not that they have a lot of competition in 2026, but I would like to cast my vote for Corima as the best Zeuhl band currently extant.
A great Los Angeles five piece who always tear the house down in performance, (I’ve seen them do it twice a dozen years apart)...

Emerging in the very late 1970's, Eskaton were an early Zeuhl band. This was their first album, and is reissued on vinyl for the very first time.
Dual female vocals chant and soar above the churning bass and drums which ably support the busy dual Rhodes piano/synth and guitar work! If you like Magma, Weidorje, Potemkine, you will enjoy this tremendously.

“Eskaton is part of that generation of French Zeuhl bands that arrived on the scene a little too late in the 1970s, on the cusp of the...

“Loomings was born under the impetus of Jacopo Costa, an Italian musician living in Strasbourg, France. Thanks to the vitality of the local music scene, he has the opportunity to realize his creations with the help of several musicians with varied artistic backgrounds.
The voices of Maria Denami and Clara Weil - one from the lyric repertoire, the other rooted in contemporary music - add to the jazzy groove of Nicolas Klee (electric bass) and Nils Boyny (keyboards), as well as to the percussion and...

Very good first effort from a new generation of French Zeuhl.

"First CD of this French band that has recently opened for Magma at Bourg les Valence. A superb recording, heavily influenced by Magma (sound, compositions & spirit). Very much recommended...

"Olive Mess is a band from Latvia (ex-USSR) that plays a very original progressive music. The line-up features guitar ( electric, classic, baroque ), bass, keyboards, drums, occasional sax, and a superb soprano female singer. Olive Mess was founded by...

This is a hand-numbered, limited edition of 300 copies of a release that was previously released on CD by AltrOck.

This relatively young band from Normandy, France, makes their debut on disc here, with a record that has six tracks; three from new recordings by the current line-up of the group (drums/lead vocals, bass/vocals, guitar/vocals, alto & baritone sax/alto clarinet/flute/vocals, soprano sax/bassoon/vocals plus guests on percussion, lead vocals, flute, oboe, clarinet & horn) as well as....

Scherzoo is the new quintet of composer/drummer/multi-instrumentalist François Thollot. He is a real talent and he has two previous albums on SZ that are both really good, but this is the first album where he has had the involvement of a band from the conception forward, and it shows by being his best release yet! This is a very fine modern Zeuhl/jazz rock album.

"Scherzoo is François Thollot's 3rd CD, with a new band, featuring Anthony Béard (bass), François Mignot (guitar), Jeremy Van...

Francois Thollot-bass
Antony Pontet-electric piano, organ
Grégoire Plancher-electric piano, mellotron)
Clement Curaudeau-drums

This is the fourth release by Scherzoo, the band of multi-instrumentalist and composer Francois Thollot.
This all instrumental work operates somewhere in the realm between Canterbury-influenced sounds and zeuhl giving a unique slant to both styles and ending up being extremely enjoyable (as all of Francois’ work is)!

Shub Niggurath were a brilliant, very dark, French Zeuhl band. The original line-up (the only line-up that matters, imo) featured Alain Baullaud-bass, Franck Coulaud-drums, Franck Fromy-guitar, percussion, Jean-Luck Hervé-piano, harmonium, Ann Stewart-vocals and Veronique Verdier-trombone.
They seemingly burst out of nowhere with their stunning debut album on Musea (Musea's first release) "Les Morts Vont Vite" and then disappeared back into whatever dark hell had inspired them in the first place...

Philippe Haxaire: Drums
Jérôme Lamarche: Guitars
Adrian Luna: Bass (3-5)
Vincent Sicot-Vantalon: Keyboards, Guitars, Bass
Anna Ivanova: Voice (6)

Unit Wail’s fifth album, recorded in 2025/2026. Musically, it follows on from their previous 4 albums, remaining almost exclusively instrumental and featuring sounds reminiscent of King Crimson in their post-80s metal incarnations.
A concept album centred on the environmental impact of the oil industry… only to be overtaken.

guest musicians :

A great, modern zeuhl release, which is, really, all you need to know to know whether or not you want this / will enjoy this!

“This is VAK’s second CD but

Xing Sa is a trio offshoot of Setna, featuring Nicolas Goulay : rhodes / minimoog / organ, Christophe Blondel : fender bass, Nicolas Candé : drums. It's a really good trio Zeuhl/fusion album; maybe think of it as Setna channeling One Shot, but in a more 'proggy way' with lots of great work from all three.
Anyone who is looking for something new to scratch that heavy Zeuhl itch can not do better.
