Just pronounce the two E's like in lemon. BTW, it means monstrous music or marvelous music in Ancient Greek:
- TERA: It means monster and also marvel. That is, something uncommon in both cases. I guess the guys wanted to make that pun because of the kind of music they play.
- MELOS: It means music. For instance, in Spanish we have a word to say music lover: melómano (or melómana if it is a woman), from Greek melos + mania (that is, something like music-maniac).
EDIT: Ops! I forgot this: The word melody comes from the Greek melos too.
