    Yeah, can someone help me out with a pronunciation guide on that one?

      It’s pronounced just like it’s spelled.

      Xavleg (zav-leg) is the accepted “short” name for when you need to say it out loud or write it and can’t be bothered to put the whole thing

      The whole thing is an abbreviation for a bunch of gross shit with X’s on the front and end.

        Good thing that it’s an abbreviation. It wouldn’t have fit on the record sleeve otherwise.

          English speakers most often use a Z sound for an X at the start of the word, like xenon and xylophone. I’m ignorant of how it would be pronounced by speakers of other languages, but all my conversations about the band (all three of them, lol) have been in English
