The Pronunciation Thread

(pronounced "dee-ih-tee").

Maybe in Massachusetts.

Deicide

I think it's just like it sounds: D-I-SIDE

That's just my guess though...

You have trouble pronouncing "deicide"?

 

[sonofhendrix13]

Deity can be pronounced day-ih--tee or dee-ih--tee

Deicide can be pronounced day-ih-side or dee-ih-side

I prefer day-uh-side but I'm almost 100% certain your right.

What about Dimmu Borgir.

I pronounce it DIM-oo BORG-ear but i have no idea how its sounded in Icelandic (it does mean dark castle in Icelandic right?)

And Satyricon

I think its just a butchering of Satyr's name but how do you say it? I pronounce it sa-TEAR-i-con but Satyr is pronounced SAY-ter so thays probably not right.

 

[Mormagil]

I don't know about "dimmu" but "borgir" sounds like boar-jeer with trilled R's, according to an Icelandic song I've heard. Unless The Grimace is going to tell me that Icelandic singers can't pronounce their own language

And at the Deicide thing, too...unless the poster's not a native English speaker.

Actually, fotmbm brought up a point:

How should umlauts be handled? A majority of the time they're put in to be \m/ and only serve to befuddle fans who speak languages who use umlauts. I mean, How do you pronounce Mötorhead or Mütilation or Queensrÿche?

Generally they're not supposed to be audible, but coming from Sweden where we actually use some of them, I say Deströyer 666, Motörhead, Tröjan and so on because it rules (and tröjan=the sweater in swedish).
Mütiilation is a trickier one than most though. Note to self: Always be more or less sober when deciding what your band will be called.

is Wyrd just "Wierd"?
Astriaal. Drudkh. Hrossharsgrani.
Myrddraal. Mytile Vey Lorth. Taake. Woods of Ypres (i know how to say Woods of clever me)

Seeing as Wyrd come from Finland, I would think either "vee-rd" or "wee-rd". I could be wrong though.
I always say Drudkh in my head as "Drood-k" with a sorta "uh" sound at the end, but not really audible.
Hrossharsgrani probably sounds just as its spelled- "Hross-hars-grunny".
Myrddraal come from the Wheel of Time series, and I always though of it as "Murd-rawl", or "Meer-drawl".
Mytile Vey Lorth can sound different based on where its from, and the accents, but I would say "Mi-till vay lorth".
Taake sounds almost Japanese to me, so "Taw-kay".
Ypres has already been said; Ee-prey.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Is Astriaal pronounced as it looks?

 

[Artificial_Eternity]

Is Astriaal pronounced as it looks?

I think either "As-trie-al" or "As-tree-awl".

 

[Jaar-Gilon]

well the guys from alchemist came into my music class. and i asked if "Astri-aal" were coming to MFTB they replied yeah "Astr-ii-al" should be there, along with all the mainstays. so that is probably right, i was just checking

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Cool. Thanks.
