Gire

It's like "gear" except the g is not a hard g. A little more like a soft j or the letter ж in Cyrillic.

Something like that.

Source: have hung out with Kátai Tamás a few times and heard him say it.

Good to know. I once saw a (supposedly) fanmade version of Gire's cover art with the band name spelled "Жийр" or sth like that. So that checks out. Like "Zsír" in Hungarian, I guess.

Cool, thanks!

He's a super nice guy, had a chat with him over Facebook trying to order his new solo album. He had already sold all his copies, but directed me to the label for more.

[Blood Music]

Yes! Extremely good guy.

Жийр / Zsir is precisely correct.

If you're looking to pronounce Lykathea Aflame also, that one is something like : Lee-kah-tay-ah

tai suomeksi : likatea

Awesome!

[winterburner]

Haha, found it. Apparently I can't Russian as it's Жыыр, which apparently actually means "fat".

Was so happy when I saw that BM would re-release it. Been playing the swirl LP quite often. An awesome band.....that certainly deserve to be more known.

[MAC_HATER]

Nice - I didn't know there was a LP for it at all until recently, saw there were only a few copies left on the BM Store and jumped on it haha
