I went to IKEA last night and my limited command of Swedish baffled all the French-Canadian employees.

Guess what seeing the mention of Sweden made me think of.yet again. Well, that and Swedish meatballs.

I'm currently spamming Maiden on the jukebox at the bar. Anybody who doesn't like it can fuck off!

Thank you guys very much for checking it out. Whenever I get around to posting more content I'll let you know.

Since we've already discussed Norwegian language and Sweden recently, I have a question.

It's been known I love Vintersorg's Vildmarkens förtrollande stämmor

very much, mainly because it's so catchy it's been bouncing around my head for nearly two years now.

So, my question (outside just stating the fact that the dark "u" is just a wonderful sound - "steh-moor", it sounds like Balrog's cousin ) being: Do Swedes really pronounce the "k" in the beginning of the word as "sh" or is that just Hedlund's idiosyncrasy?

 

[Brigantium]

I believe the pronunciation is something like that in Norwegian.

And yes, the pronunciation is similar in both Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. But here in Denmark the ending is er as in stemmer...So it's not an OR sound but ER

I will definitely be reading this and listening, very cool. That NWOBHM post has a few things I've never heard of. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the clarification, in the song it sounded much more like "oor"

But I was also wondering about the "k" sound - it sounds really weird to me to pronounce it softly, like "sh", I get it's probably correct, but it still sounds funny and interesting to me. BTW, thanks Brigs. At least I know the Norwegians do that.

But where are you getting the k sound from in Stämmor though I wonder...
