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'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.

If that kinda resembles the Spanish "j" as in Navajo, then I guess I wasn't as far off as I actually thought

The way I learned it and have been pronouncing it is zay-meel.

I always said 'Sam -A (as in the letter A) - el (like the letter L)'

Well, I say 'day-side- too because the name is Latin for death of God and that's how the Romans would have pronounced it, possibly with the tiniest hint of an i (dey-i-cide).

I don't know much about latin but I'm pretty sure that would've been pronunced "day-kide", with the last e like in death, or something like that

I think you should pronounce it as Dimmoo Boregear.

I actually think Samael06 is more right, it is an icelandic word and his description feels icelandic to me. I have a friend from Iceland and I've actually asked him how to pronounce it, and he said something like that. I think you other guys americanize it to much (sry to the brittish guys )
Trivia; Dimmu Borgir is the name of some vulcanic and therefore natural "sculptures", and the words mean something like "a misty castle" wieee

I think its like Dark Fortress or something like that

Sentenced

I've heard it being pronounced sen-ten-said. Which is it?!?!?

I'm pretty sure it's just like the word sentenced, sounds just like sentence with a D. I think

anyone knows if there´s a special pronunciation for Ningizzia, I mean coming from France and Sweden it probably has some strange way to pronounce it. thanks

@samael06 and Daru Jericho: Thank you!

Dimmu Borgir stands for "Black Castle" or "Black Fortress".....there is a castle in Iceland which is supposedly a Gateway TO Hell...people have gone there and never returned......If you guys have seen the Nuclear Blast Presentation called "Gods Of Darkness", you'll know.....

Yup. Just get a dictionary.

I wonder how Thyrane is pronounced. Is it just Thy-rain or perhaps thee-rain? How about Taetre? Tay-tree?

"I think it's like this"-guesses that are seen in this thread have no value to me (or anyone for that matter), I can guess just as well myself. So anyone with some actual knowledge, please enlighten me.

Never head it like that before.....I've always said "Sam-I-el".....

Sa-Ma-L. No, zay-meel, that's for sure.

Well, no offence, but since I'm swedish and you're indian maybe I know more about it? It's almost the same in swedish (similar to icelandic)... dimmu means "misty" or something, maybe "cloaked, dark" and borgir means castle, fortress, place...

Yes, it was on MS too.

I've gotta ask, how is what you just said much different from what he said?
Knowledge certainly has nothing to do with nationality, thats for sure, you just proved that.

Swedish is barely similar to icelandic
Dimmu means dark, i dont know where you get the misty part from
look it up

Okay, when I though about I realized that we were pretty close, so this whole thing maybe doesn't matter at all. But I'm almost sure that Dimmu means misty, at least in Swedish and also according to my icelandic friend. But well well, I'll look it up.
Knowledge DON'T HAS TO do with nationality, that's why I wrote maybe. And we're not talking about knowledge about anything now, it's about language. Of course this guy knows a lot more about Indian than I do. You can't be sure, but that's what I asumed?

Dimmu doesn't necessarily mean the same as dimmig.

Well, it's the closest word, isn't it? And since it has the same origin, in the old nordic language, the chance that is means the same is rather high.

Let's just forget about this shit now?

hehe, cute
And yeah, this is a matter of knowledge
cause this guy obviously knows what he is talking about

I just think you should be a little less cocky

Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!!!!

Dimmu borgir mean dark cities (exact translation) i should know cause i'm icelandic, but dark castle sounds cooler
