For my part, I honestly love accents in my music, especially Nergal and Tony Kakko (talk about polar opposites!) - between Nergal roaring "Chreestchans to thah liohns!" and Tony with that sharp Finnish lilt of his, it really adds to my considering them two of my favorite vocalists. So don't sweat the pronunciation dude!
ok.... thanks to everyone for your answers...
I think I understand what the "nip" part should sound like....I'll see if we can make it sound better in our next recording session otherwise I'll just leave it like that like some of you suggested...
Yeah!...funny thing is there will probably be plenty more syllables that don't sound quite right... but for some reason I got obsessed that this specific word should sound better....
