The Eastern Front OST needs you!

[neosdark]

Sure, I'll also change the lyrics to be a bit more Soviet era-song friendly, mainly cause these have no rhythm and the new ones sound a lot more Russian

Also, I  have to mention that some Russian letters such as ы and ь are near impossible to properly create a sound while using an English keyboard.

ь is called a soft symbol and it softens the consonant that it comes before usually represented as an ' in English. For example a regular т sounds as in English Tie, but т' is a soft T. ы makes a sound that resembles the first I in interesting, and as such I will represent it as an I where ever it comes up.

ъ hardens the consonant before it, but it's a very rare letter and I doubt it will even be used in this song, if it does come up I will denote it #.

Other letters of notice are и which sounds like an English E which I will represent with an E, while e in Russian sounds like yEa (with minimum emphasis on the a and y). and I will represent as E'

ё which sounds similar to yo (not the stupid yo, yo, nigga crap, but just phonetically) and I will represent it as such.

у sounds something like the O's in Moooooooooo, and I will denote as a pair of O's (oo)

й is a strange letter that changes the sound of the letter that comes after it, a becomes ai (phonetically, not like AI, but ai as in like aiya)  O becomes Oi, (like Oi mate) I will represent it as J

я is like the German Ja and I will denote it as such.

ж makes a sound like Zh, as seen in General Zhukov's name, It will be denoted as Zh.

a sounds like ahhhh (when the Doctor tells you to open your mouth), but will be denoted as A

ю sounds like an English U or you (depends on which ever you prefer) and will be represented as U

As such enough of the boring details, If you have any questions I will gladly help with pronunciations over Mumble.

Встовайте друзья, готовьтесь ( Vstovajte', drooz'ja, gotov'tes')
Нас Родина Мать зовёт (Nas Rodena Mat' zovyot)
И звук её голоса (E zvook e'yo golosa)
Пугает наших врагов. (Poogae't nashekh vragov.)

Час победы уж близок (Chas pobe'di yzh blezok)
И враг побеждён бежит(E vrag pobezhdyon bezhet)
И не наша земля, а фашистов (E ne' nasha ze'mlja, a fashestov)
пустынна пред нами лежит. (pyctinna pre'd name le'zhet)

Вперёд, ни шагу назад, (Vpe'ryod, ne shagoo nazad)
ни пяди земли врагу!! (ne pjade ze'mle vragoo!!)
не будет напрасной жертвой (ne boode't napracnoj zhe'rtvoj)
жизнь отданная в бою. (zhezn' otdannaja v bou)

Не будет пощады врагу (Ne' boode't poshadi vragoo)
ни от пули, ни от штыка. (Ne ot poole, ne ot shtika)
Ни жалости, ни прощенья (Ne zhaloste, ne nroshe'n'ja)
не будет Фашистским Псам. (ne' boode't Fashestskem psam)

Ненависть и отвага- орудие наше в бою ( Ne'navest' e otvaga- oroodee' nashe' v bou)
И жизнь отдавать не жалко за Родину И Семью (E Zhezn' otdavat' ne zhalko za Rodeny E Ce'm'u)

I'am also making a small Wav. file, that you can use, with more precise pronunciations, but since the site doesn't allow for them, can you please provide me your e-mail so I can send it to you.

i don't know if this is what you're looking for, and i have no idea what the lyrics are , but here you go  Red Army Choir NAVAL HYMN ( อู๋ ไกรฤกษ์ )

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

Uh this song was in the first versions of EF and was removed .

[stealthattack1]

whups. why was it removed?

[Pac-Fish]

Hey whats the name of the song(s) when you first upload the EF screen and you see the menu . And if there is no name can you upload the custom made song Thank you

[Alex Cottrell]

So that this doesn't come a surprise or a disappointment to you when the soundtrack gets progressively updated - it has emerged that Russian lyrics are not really possible at this time and the OST will remain instrumental. Without a real choir capable of singing accurately in Russian, any attempt to synthesise it serves only to do the music and culture of Russian choirs a disservice. That said, this has still been very useful, so thanks to all of you for your help - the EF community continues to be awesome! Hopefully we'll get a chance to do this properly in the future.

EDIT: Just to clarify - there will still be choirs, but right now it's not possible to have them singing any real russian lyrics without it sounding obviously fake or inaccurate. I know that the music may not seem like the most important thing in a game to some of you, but I know how passionate people get about this mod and if a job is worth doing it's worth doing properly. As of yet it's not possible to do it properly so it's best to wait until I can.

The music on the menu is currently 'The Red Tide' (a portion of which is heard also on the soviet vehicles and infantry trailer), 'Advance!' (a portion of which is heard on the Ostheer teaser trailer) and 'Far From Over' which is the one that opens with a solo clarinet. The whole soundtrack, including the music that's coming for the Ostheer, will be available for high quality download once it's completely finished. I hope that answers your question 

[SublimeSnugz]

GJ with the music Alex, some ppl might say its such a minor and unimportant detail - but imo the overall quality feeling of the mod has increased largely with your music!

[Pac-Fish]

Makes the whole game feel that much more authentic :3

[stealthattack1]

what would we do without you alex. (have crappy music is what) thanks man!

[Cranialwizard]

I always enjoyed the music of COH. I thought relic did especially well with the Brit music. But the soviet songs are perfect!
