Background

Like the band's previous release, K.A (Köhntarkösz Anteria), Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré is formed of material Magma wrote and performed live during the mid 1970s to 1980. Unlike Köhntarkösz Anteria however, where the album consisted entirely of unreleased material, Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré is formed of both unreleased and released material from that era, the first half of the album serving as a large-scale rerecording:

• The song "Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré I" combines "Ëmëhntëht-Rê (Announcement)" from the album Live/Hhaï (1975) and "Rindë (Eastern Song)" from the album Attahk (1978).
• The song "Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré II" combines "Ëmëhntëht-Rê (Extrait n' deux)" (released on the 1988 CD of Üdü Ẁüdü), "Hhaï" from the album Live/Hhaï (1975), and "Zombies (Ghost Dance)" from Üdü Ẁüdü.

The repurposing of material from other albums is because the album was always meant to consist of these songs, and they were split over numerous different albums at the time when it was clear it would not be released in its intended format.

The album belongs to a trilogy of three comprising K.A (Köhntarkösz Anteria), Köhntarkösz, and Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré, called the Köhntarkösz Trilogy. The album's content tells the story of Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré, murdered in antiquity. The figure from the previous two albums, Köhntarkösz, finds his tomb and has a grand, vivid vision of Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré's life, who eventually takes over his body and becomes anew, fulfilling the prophecy and ending the trilogy's story.
