I wanted to open this thread too about a year ago but never did. It is fine when I'm the only one pronounciating the band's names but when I did a few radio shows that's when this matter really bugged me. Of course the majority of bands I need help with are mostly Italian bands, I'll come back later with a bunch of names.

How about OOIOO for starters?

oh yeah I still remember that.

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.

My favorite musician's last name, Koellen, has it's different pronounciations

in english -with the English spelling it is pretty obvious-Koe-len

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".

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.

Here are a few I'm not 100% sure about...

Amon Duul II (is it like the word duel?)

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

Fruupp ( does it rhymes with cup?)

Gevende ( what's up with this Turkish band?)

Machiavel (I'm not sure...)

Rhun ( Run or Roon?)

Sloche (?)

cabezas de cera (is it sera?)

crucis (kra - sis?)

ma banlieue flasque (?)

Slow-ssh ??
FRUUPP - I don't know - perhaps more like Froop ??
Mack-e-ay-vel??
Kroo-sis

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).

^Our pronounce in Brasil: Bacamarte - 'Ba-ca-mar-tchee'. All the letters 'a' being pronounced like in the english bar, the accent put in the third syllable.

'Bacamarte' is not anymore a common usage word here too, but I was told that perhaps until the seventies in my city it was used also as a slang that meant 'old rubbish'. And this band is 'carioca'(from Rio), so maybe the slang usage is what the band wanted to mean, as they formed in 1974, in spite of the album 'Depois do Fim' being released only in 1983.

Cabezas de cera:

1) 'ca-be-thas de the-ra' in Spain;

2) 'ca-be-ssas de sse-ra' in South and Central America;

3) All the letters 'a' being pronounced like in the english word 'bar'.

Machiavel - 'Ma-kee-a-vel', again the letter 'a' being pronounced like in the english 'bar'.

To my ear, Bacamarte sounded like bəkəmÁhchi (ə =schwa, like in above or pizza), while the stressed 'a' is a lot more open. That said, the person who I learned this from might have been an ignorant favelado, traveling incognito Cool

Also importantly: can someone explain what the cover art is supposed to symbolize ? I am especially intrigued by the front cover image, with a pregnant cavegirl, clutching her tummy and a caveman, chiseling Roman numerals onto what looks like the Ten Commandments tablets.

It's just pronounced Sun. They named themselves after Sunn amplifiers, and the O))) part is meant to mimic the amp company's logo.

Wouldn't Änglagård be pronounced as Ang (as in angle) - la - gore (as in Al Gore)?

I could imagine the final "d" falls away.

But you Swedish proggers, could you tell this non-Scandinavian if I'm right?
