[edit] Question
Huh? What song is the "wear a bra" lyric supposedly from? I can find no source though the almighty Google, and I've certainly never heard it. Is this just a lyric you remember hearing?
- It's from a track called 'Apoptygma' found in a 'Victims of Mutilation' demotape (1990).
Does anyone have any information about Stephan Groth being in a black metal band called Mock (pre-Kampfar)? Satyr (of Satyricon) said this in a interview when asked about the APB remix.
[edit] Apoptygma (Greek)
Are you absolutely certain that Apoptygma should be pronounced with a "u" instead of a "y"? Being Greek, I think that Apoptygma is written and pronounced correctly (A-po-pti-gma). --Antono 07:49, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- The article specifies that it is an "old Greek word". So perhaps it's going by the ancient pronounciation.--Aleron235 16:42, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Or the reverse. The apparent issue is that the word apoptygma is/was composed not with the Latin letter y, but with one of these. So, depending on when you're from in Greece, the upsilon would be pronounced as [u], [y], or [i] —from most ancient to most modern. (See IPA chart for English and Pronunciation respelling for English.)
English speakers, however, will see apoptygma and most likely pronounce the y as [ɪ], rhyming with stigma. Some believe the word should follow a classical Greek pronunciation ([y], like the German ü). Antono above probably read the y as [i], since he is Greek, and presumably modern. Personally, I'd favor this pronunciation—or the English one, since I'm a native English speaker. In any case, the claim in the current article that the word has some sort of "universal" pronunciation is ridiculous. —RVJ 21:58, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Photo...
Are you sure that the person on the photo on the left is Angel Stengel? I would say the guy looks more like Anders Odden.
-
- As the picture is from 2004, I would say it's pretty certain that it's Angel Stengel being pictured. I can't remember when Anders Odden first left the band, but it was before 2004, and he didn't join again till 2005 on their latest album.
[edit] Hidden track
The article implies that "Fade to Black" is a hidden track, when it's actually track 8 of 13 on "Welcome to Earth". The hidden track on this album is an 8-bit sounding song.
