Theusz Hamtaahk is a live album by the French

• The first movement, "Theusz Hamtaahk" ("Time of Hatred"), had already been part of Magma's live repertoire since the mid-1970s and was first recorded "live" in a
  Retrospektiw (Parts I+II)
  , recorded in 1980.
• The second movement, Ẁurdah Ïtah ("Dead Earth"), was released before by a core quartet of then Magma members^[6] in 1974 under the name of bandleader Christian Vander as a soundtrack studio album^[7] for Yvan Lagrange's 1972 avant-garde film Tristan et Iseult.^[8] Re-released on Magma's label Seventh in 1989, it is mostly regarded as a Magma album, though.^[9][10]
• The third movement, "Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh", was first released as a Magma album in 1973, probably their most famous work.

The words to the music are sung completely in Magma's constructed language
