吼 means something along the lines of **cry** or **roar**. So think of it as a noise like 鳴. - 吼(ほ)える = to bark, to bellow, to howl, to cry - 咆吼 (ほうこう) = a howl, cry (alternative to 咆哮) - 獅子吼 (ししく) = lion’s roar - 帆猿 ( ほえざる) = Howler Monkey - 吼え声 (ほえこえ) = a bark, a howl So I guess it’s a term that’s made up in an anime or game. You said it was used in a song? It sometimes happens they coin new words in those (especially in anime and game related music). For the pronunciation you’d have to listen to the song though. If I had to make a guess, it would be **てんこう**. The meaning, however, is straightforward: **heavenly roar**. edited: provided more examples.
