the Pronunciation thread

Hätäpaska
Ixuminimummassivum
Akercocke

The Finns (assuming it is a Finnish word) pronounce the Ä like Norwegians pronounce Æ (like Americans pronounce the A in damn, ass bastard wtc). Also, the Finns dont Americanize everything by making vowels into 3 letter combos. Hä-tä-pas-ka should be right.

Ixuminimummassivum should be straight forward and I still have no idea how Akercocke is pronounced since its a British band.
 
What's with people pronouncing Arch Enemy as "Ark" Enemy? It's Arch as in march...there's countless video's with Michael Amott interviewed that gives proof to that.
 
I was at a Satyricon show, and I said the name sa-tur-icon, and everybody yelled at me and said it was suh-teer-acon.

whatever

goddamn metalbands and their hard to pronounce names :bah:

You should take a cue from the rest of us and not socialize with others about metal in person. Just argue about it on the internet. It's all part of Satan's divine plan to secure ambiguously-pronounced black metal band names as the wave of the future.
