Zeuhl
The liturgy doesn't need a recognizable planet.
Zeuhl is a style from the The Edge of the Map family. 120 BPM, Weirdness 64, Style Influence 90.
A repetitive martial bass and a choir singing in an invented language. Zeuhl, the cosmic opera pioneered by the French band Magma: hypnotic, ominous, and as powerful as a ritual from another galaxy.

Sample excerpt
Cantamos en un idioma que inventamos entre todos para decir cosas que en el nuestro no cabían. Nadie de afuera entiende la letra y adentro todos sabemos lo que dice.
Kohn ta ré, kohn ta ré, que quiere decir seguimos aquí. Hay tribus que se reconocen por la lengua, y esta lengua la hicimos nosotros.
Workshop note — Plural, presente, ritual. El zeuhl usa lenguas inventadas y coros en bloque: mezcla frases comprensibles con sílabas fabricadas. A 120 BPM el coro repite el fragmento inventado como mantra.
