Dai Kaht
Ii
A band singing in their created own language (named "Kolöniel"), does that remind you another band? Yes, you're right THAT Kobaïan band led by a famous French drummer! The Dai Kaht story begins in Finland when Atte Kemppainen, future founder member and composer of Dai Kaht heard a medley by (no, you're wrong, NOT Magma) Japanese band Ruins! It was through this initial shock that he (later) discovered Magma. In 2013, he formed Dai Kaht with other band mates coming from various local horizons, notably a Finnish King Crimson cover band called Project Crimson King. The band's first concert happened in 2014 and they issued their first album in 2017. The first album was about a spaceship (Doover Üouh) which departs a dying earth in the far future. The destination of this journey is a great planet (Dai Kaht). This second album has the spaceship reaching its destination. Colonization begins, two territories emerge (Hhaimland and Eterniya) and humanity falls again into self-destruction and violence. In summary, we now know that Kobaïa has a twin sister planet. OK for the plot... but what about the music itself? What we have here, on Dai Kaht's second album, is something strongly recalling Magma but with a rockier edge and the use of Magma patterns as fun gimmicks. With some occasional prog overtones. Those who enjoyed Corima's first album should appreciate this one as well. The same kind of fun you may experience with Koenji Hyakkei (but less intense). Zeuhl goes rock!
