Your opinion on hungarian vocals?

[Akkush]

Hi there!

I'm just curious how non hungarians preceive my mother tongue, especially in metal music.
I think the song below is a good example, understandable, kinda thrash metal style


If the first doesn't work like JSanta mentioned...


What do you think? Is it the language of ork or elfs?
Does it sound weird, alien, "cool" or "uncool"? Does it distract you from enjoying it?
If you want some more listen to the album, or I can suggest some more.
Thanks for your input!

I'm Hungarian (grew up in the States), so the language unfortunately (at least in this case) does not sound at all foreign to me. A healthy dose of Omega growing up will do that!

No video isn't popping up for me, not sure if that's the case for anyone else or not.

Weird, I can see it and it starts to play. It's "Te vagy a kezdet" from Moby Dick.

It might be location restricted, dunno.

It sounds like a south Eastern European language to me. Definitely not Polish, Russian, Ukraininan, there’s more of a southern thing, maybe a bit of Turkish and Greek influence. It works for the music, though.

Well, it can never get old imo.

Attila Csihar (Mayhem, SUNN, many other) is Hungarian and sings in a variety of languages including sanskrit. He was touring with SUNN when I saw them, his vocal style is really unique and his costuming/stage presence is terrifying.
