Ẁurdah Ïtah is a 1974 album by Christian Vander/Magma.

It was recorded by a core quartet of Magma members (only consisting of drums, bass, piano, and vocals[3]) and released under Christian Vander's name as a soundtrack studio album[1] for Yvan Lagrange's 1972 avant-garde film Tristan et Iseult[4]. Re-released on Magma's label Seventh in 1989 with the Magma logo on its cover, it is mostly regarded as a Magma album, though.[5][6][7]

Ẁurdah Ïtah (which translates from Kobaïan roughly as Dead Earth) is the second part of the Theusz Hamtaahk Trilogy. It is preceded by Theusz Hamtaahk (Time of Hatred), which is only available on live albums, including Retrospektiw (Parts I+II), and succeeded by Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh.
