How To Pronounce Band Names

@Dream_of_Hate

Well, I say 'Qwor-thon'.

That's how I pronounce 'Question', so I meant that.

@Nervel and Daru Jericho-

All is clear now....

lol i know no one asked but Dimmu Borgir is spelled something like Dimmu Boregear or something like that xD

It was asked, I believe on first or second page.

And I said the same thing back then.

just a little info ) !T.O.O.H.! is an abreviation of !The Obelitaration of Humanity! ). and for behemoth...its B-hee-m-th http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/behemoth )).

I'm glad this thread has appeared. I always pronuonced it as Ing-Vay. Which I guess was wrong. And it also helped me with the pronouciation of other names. Now, I've been pronouncing the Hecate of Hecate Enthroned as Heh-Kah-Teh. Is that correct? Also, I heard that with Dimmu Borgir, you roll the Rs. And the G is pronounced with a sort of a zh sound. So it would be Borrrr- zhearrrr. Or something like that.

I think you should pronounce it as Dimmoo Boregear.

i just pronounce it like its spelled : Dimmu Borgir... its easy

Yup, I say Dim - oo Bor - gear

Umm.. Lacuna Coil..

How about Thyrfing?

Lacuna Coil : "lacoona coyl" it means empty spiral

Does anyone know how to pronounce Thyrfing? I really want to know.

I think it's like "surfing", but with a "Th". I've always been good at explainig;D

It is easy because it has been here for about 1000 times already. In the old one too. So, the creator of this thread, next time put in your first post: 'Dimmu Borgir=Dimmoo Boregear'.

It would prevent another 100 questions..

Ephel Duath anyone?
I always assumed the "ph" made an "f" sound but I've never been quite sure if it's not pronounced "Epp-Hell".

Ee-fel Du-ath. Long e, 'du' a little bit like 'do'.

Ahh, cheers.

A band I'm 100% sure of that I always pronounce them wrong is Agalloch. The German 'ch' has a peculiar sound which doesn't exist in the English language, thus I don't think it is meant to be pronounced the way I always do. A-ga-lock as in ache? A-ga-lotch as in church? Does anyone know?

I would think it's pronounced with a lock sound but I'm not 100% sure.

I'd say A-ga-loch. With the 'ch' as in 'Scheveningen'. :

But well, the Germans are known for not being able to pronounce 'Scheveningen'.

I can pronounce it, just probably not correctly

Ah ok. Shout it out loud, I might be able to hear you.. I live only 20/25 km from the border.

Nope, it has a K sound like "lakoona" I believe.

I've been pronoucing it with the "ch" sounding like I'm clearing my throat. Best explanation I can think of how to describe the sound.
