You may remember my quick pronunciation tip video for al dente, wherein I make it clear that it’s not said like “Al Dante”:

So he did. He made it the middle of three pieces in a YouTube EP. You don’t have to listen to it – not everyone likes metal music – but I think it’s fun, and it’s less than three minutes, anyway. Here:
