Editing Metal umlaut (section)

==Usage==
Among English speakers, the use of [[Umlaut (diacritic)|umlaut marks]] and other diacritics with a [[blackletter]] [[typeface]] is a form of [[foreign branding]], which has been attributed to a desire for a "[[gothic horror]]" feel.<ref>{{cite book |last=Garofalo |first=Rebee |title=Rockin' Out: Popular Music in the USA |publisher=Allyn & Bacon |year=1997 |isbn=0-205-13703-2 |page=[https://archive.org/details/rockinoutpopular00garo_0/page/292 292] |quote=Some groups, for example Blue Öyster Cult and Motörhead, added gratuitous umlauts to their names to conjure up a more generic gothic horror, a practice that continued into the 1980s with Mötley Crüe and others. |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/rockinoutpopular00garo_0/page/292 }}</ref> The metal umlaut is not generally intended to affect the pronunciation of the band's name, unlike the umlaut in German (where the letters ''u'' and ''[[ü]]'', ''a'' and ''[[ä]]'', as well as ''o'' and ''[[ö]]'', represent distinct vowels) and the Scandinavian languages (where å, ä and a, ö/ø and o are distinct letters).
