Black Metal.

[zabu of nΩd]

M-g-l-a
[mgl:a] - fog/gloom

That really doesn't help much.

 

[DarkBliss]

Just pronounce it like you pronounce "Mmmm, glum", but faster and without the final m.

 

[tagradh]

My guess would be that the g would be voiced in the same way that scandinavians seem to do j (like a y or smt) so. Myla.

 

[DarkBliss]

I dunno, I'm pronouncing it the way it sounds in Russian. It should be the same as Polish, since when Poles speak, it sounds like Russian, only backwards.

So I went to the record store today just to browse the metal section.

Was this the Burlington store? Because I was there today.

Not so great to pronounce, though. A little help?

MMM-GLUH is how I would say it

heh. must be a slavic band, fog=magla in my language.

Marduk's every album is underrated in this forum, i don't know why.

True, I would really like to understand why.

Just take a look at the "best 2007 albums" thread, I guess only one member of the forum crew mentioned "Rom 5:12".

IMO, definitely one of the best metal albums released last year.

Not to mention their last 3 or 4 albums, all of them pretty damn good.

Burlington is the only NC I know of with a separate metal section. So yes.

Well, yes, it's polish.

I don't know how you can have problems with pronouncing it, tbh. Just say it the way it's written. Cookiecutter is the closest the be correct.

 

[DarkBliss]

He is spot on actually.

 

[MasterOLightning]

The authentic Polish guys in my neighborhood pronounce it like mi-GWA. Apparently the "l" with the slash through it has a different sound.

At Hatebreeder: How are the Rotting Christ and Nattens Madrigal CD's? I'm waiting on my Nattens Madrigal CD to come in the mail, I'm guessing it'll be Monday when I get it though.

 

[Lunar Descent]

Then I suggest you also check out Kriegsmaschine, which I think is connected to Mgla, 'Altered States of Divinity' and 'A Thousand Voices' are killer releases.

I know about Kriegsmaschine. Altered States Of Divinity will be mine.

*see my response in the "hauls" thread*

here is the correct answer:

just pronounce the 'l' in 'Mgla' like the 'w' in 'war' or 'water'

the correct writing is 'Mgła'

 

[Zephyrus]

Ah I figured it was one of those Polish l's with the line through them. That makes it a bit easier to pronounce.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

HOw is Mgla & what are they comparable to? I've been meaning to look into them for quite awhile now.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

It's good repetitive bass-heavy BM...nice thick driving riffs with a strong sense of evil melody. Recommended if you like Deathspell Omega, Glorior Belli, Katharsis, etc.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Sounds kinda like I imagined them sounding the way you describe them. Never heard Glorior Belli though. I need to just look into them & get it over with. I've had their EPs for awhile, just haven't listened yet.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

You should probably just listen to them if you downloaded them
