All my band mates pronounce Necrophagist as such: Necro-fag-ist

I pronounce it:

^Ya I believe its pronounced as FAY

 

[Ender Rises]

Neck-roff-a-gist

Apparently your mates don't like Necrophagist.

All my band mates pronounce Necrophagist as such: Necro-fag-ist

I pronounce it:

Necroffa-gist

I pronounce it like

Neh crow fay gist

 

[Ender Rises]

You put an accent on a different syllable than I, which is why you say it different.

Poh-tay-toe/poh-tah-toe

Actually the stress is the same on that example, but you get what I mean.

 

[Thraxz]

nekro fay jist (soft j like in french j'aime)

It's the same as the bacteriophage pronunciation from high school biology.

 

[SacredReich]

haha no they love Necrophagist, just the manner they pronounce it, i didn't mean they intentionally said FAG in the middle.

People seem to have different pronunciations of Akercocke too. the same friends say it Acker-cock. hmm i see atrend emerging. don't think i'll be associatiing with those people anymore.

I say acker-cockuh

I've heard that the band pronounce it acker-cock-ay

Fallen Yggdrasil?

one friend says Mar-dook, i say mar-duck.

this thread rules.

 

[Thraxz]

I've always said acre-koch. It's probably acre-koch-ay or "*-ay."

EEg-drasil is what I say. I just pulled that from the Woods of EE-pray.

I say Mar-duck as well. I'm most likely wrong.

EDIT: How about SuidAkra? i say Sui-dack-ruh (like SUIcide, tACK)

[Killbot]

how to pronounce Xasthur?

Is Borknagar pronounced Borknaygar or Borknahgar.

 

[Henrik Main]

The latter

 

[Nemesis_lxix]

How about Deicide ?
Is it pronounced like di-cide or day-side ?

Also a lot of people pronounce Sepultura wrong.
Its sepultUra and not sepUltura… I think !

 

[SacredReich]

more like day-side.

 

[outrageous]

Nachtfalke
Gontyna Kry
Ildjarn

Are they all just pronounced how they are written?

 

[Dän]

[Henrik Main]

Ildjarn

Ill-yarn

 

[Nico]

How about Deicide ?
Is it pronounced like di-cide or day-side ?

The "Dei" is from "diety", so it goes "day-ee-cide".

 

[Zephyrus]

Samael

 

[CF87]

Adramelech
Funebre

I think i'm pronouncing them right, but at the sametime puzzled because the words do not register in my mind as anything. I do not know what to think.
