How do you pronounce the name Opeth?

[Taotrac]

was talking to a freind of mine about it...

I pronounce it exactly like it looks like, Opeth.

He says it's like Opeeth. (the 'e' making a 'e' sound like in the word Reef)

And i say Opeth like the 'e' making a 'eh' sound.

I personally like my sound of it better, as it makes a lower and darker sound and fits them, where Opeeth makes the name sound too light. But ima be heavily dissapointed if my friend is right.

So anyone really know the answer to it?

I pronounce it as a mix of

SEARCH FUNCTION

and

SHIT THREAD

 

[BefriendedUnit]

Theoretically:
OH - PEH - TH
rhymes with JOE DEATH. unless you're a fucking KIWI and say death "DEETH".

Mikael and the guys just have very little emphasis on the O, kinda like ap-eth.


oh yeah and SHIT THREAD USE SEARCH et. al.

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

I say Oh-peth, "eth" as in "death" like mentioned above

 

[Lachybob]

Its opeth, how it looks is how it sounds. Mike has never pronounced it opeeth

 

[Nailed Reaper]

Exact pronouncing is Awpeth.
But here in Russia we al say Opet.

 

[FUBAR]

Ooo Pooof

 

[Brave.Archangel]

[Face Of Frater]

Exact pronouncing is Awpeth.

[DirTh]

Well it sounds like how Mikael says it, probly just the accent though

 

[King Toxin]

Just like you, Tao.

 

[Nailed Reaper]

Where did you get that from?

From Mikael and Peter video interviews. Awpeth like awful. Or Owepeth.

 

[noura]

I've always heard him pronounce the o as "oh" but ok..and isn't there less stress on the e?

I went from OPETH to OPeTH..oooo

 

[Metalstrm]

I used to say it Awe-pet. Then Oh-pet. Then Oh-peth.

 

[Carta's]

Åpeth

^Hah!

 

[Nostalgiaplatz]

It depends on the mood, for instance, if I'm feeling dyslexic, I say it like Oteph, if I'm feeling hungry, I say it like pth and if I'm feeling depressed, I say it like Katatopeth. It really depends.

^Hah!

By the way, that's actually correct, since the Å is prounced Aw. Iirc.
