I finally got a chance to listen to Magma, I'm listening to Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh as we speak.
This is absolutely out of this world, Like nothing I've ever heard before!

Ah, I'm glad you liked it!
Also, it's funny you said "out of this world", since the whole concept behind the band and its albums is that of a group of humans leaves (an environmentally doomed) Earth at an unspecified point in the future, discovers a planet (Kobaïa), and then many years later rediscovers Earth and the people who stayed there. They sing in this invented language because Magma play the music of this planet
Each album of theirs tells a different part of the story of Kobaïa, but unfortunately it's almost impossible to know exactly what it is (unless you know French, because I've heard that the albums' liner notes summarize whatever each particular album is about). This band basically pioneered the "concept discography" at a time when even concept albums were only just becoming a thing
It certainly is powerful, and mystic stuff

That is pretty crazy, I couldn't even get close to understanding the lyrics (Not only do I not understand Kobaian, I don't know how to speak a lick of French neither! haha)
The concept of all of it is pretty awesome, I'm going to try and see if I can find a website to describe the lyrics in English (or Spanish would even be acceptable).

Since I'm not much of a French speaker either I get most info on their albums from Wikipedia (even though it is pretty superficial), but only because I can't be bothered to find a reliable enough fansite which goes into more details (although I'm sure it exists somewhere on the internet).
