Bacamarte (just reading it like it is or is the last e silent?)


Depends on the variant of Portuguese you're using. I say it the European way, since it's still a common usage word (although dwindling), but since the band is from Brazil, it should be pronounced bah-cah-mart-gee(with the j sound).

Sloche (?)
cabezas de cera (is it sera?)
crucis (kra - sis?)
ma banlieue flasque (?)

It's meant to be "loose" spelt backwards and with numbers. I tend to just read out the name when talking about them, "Thirty-Five Zero Zero Seven" the way I do it. One could instead say "Double-Oh Seven" and "Three Five", of course, or use the Dutch names for the numbers.
I've usually said "three five oh oh seven" which takes a long time to do and soon I realized it wasn't worth the bother and I stopped listening to them.
They are cool though, I need to pull them out again.

in German, with the umlaut, it is pronounced-Kew-len

but I once met a fellow from Hannover, and he pronounced it Kull-en
 
Just wondering, if "Koellen" is pronounced "Keu-len", then if there was a german name "Keullen" it should be pronounced "Koy-len". Confused LOL
