Engrish: It's not just for snack foods!


There are few things funnier than when people from Europe or Asia try to speak English and fail miserably- a phenomenon also known as Engrish. While not all of the MI staffers are US citizens, all of us speak English well enough to enjoy a good laugh at the expense of a foreigner. For years, food packaging was the best source of Engrish laughs, but thanks to the interweb, now metal and Engrish are one. Gorevent, a splendid Japanese wigger slam band, recently updated their profile. The results are below. There are so many amazing turns of phrase I don't even know where to start! Thank you, Gorevent, for combining Engrish and guttural slamming brutality.

Herro!

GOREVENT(Abnormal Exaggeration DROP!!)

Gokucho and Sonobe (ex-REST IN GORE) started a deathmetal unit with Kasahara BRUTAL in Niigata City at the end of the year 2004, it was the very beginning of GOREVENT.

Abe joined the band in 2005 as the first permanent drummer, then GOREVENT got started sick'n brutal activity.

The beginning of the year 2006, Takashi (a.k.a.ILLEGAL ABORTION -Vo.&B.) joined the band as a second vokill vomitter.

In the fall of the year, Abe left the band, Moriyama (ex-TESTICLES VIRUS) joined us as a replacement drummer.

In the middle of February, 2007, Gokucho switched his equipment from a vokill to an axe so as to develop the whole sound ever more brutal.

I also find it funny when Americans try to speak English, so cute.

the reason why asians excel at music is this: they are "units" who commit to quality "activity". no wonder american wigger slam is falling behind.

"vokill vomitter" -i'm in awe! these guys are geniuses.

Describing spectacles as clothes more or less proves my point, I won't even start on the double negative.

Grammar smack in a sentence containing a comma splice?

str8ev said...

i'd be willing to bet that GOREVENT's english is better than that of most wigger slam bands from new jersey.

Sergeant D said...

str8ev, that's a probably a good bet! i am guessing that waking the cadaver and NJDOTS are both functionally illiterate.

pocari sweat is actually delicious. almost as good as apple sidra.

Sergeant D said...

i've never tried pocari sweat, but i did get one of the many rancid pine needle sodas from japan once. it was wretched, as you would imagine.

shawn said...

Sergeant D said...

i am going to download the SHIT out of Abnormal Exaggeration as soon as i can find a damn link! it should be amazing.

The Abhorent Excretionists will be my next permanent Japanese 'nipper-slam' project in the beginning of the year of 2009 with excessive vokills and raging axes.

Sergeant D said...

i am actually going to start a nipper slam band: white guys emulating japanese guys emulating wiggers. it's very postmodern and conceptual, but i think you'll like it!

skid said...

Wouldn't that be 'wipper-slam'?

If the world were a just & fair place, every summer there'd be a GoreventFest (because there already is a Gorefest & everyone would get confused). Nothing but wigger slam bands all day one after the other, on two stages at the same time.

1. Holy shit, a woman playing slam metal?

This is true. This is the japanese approach to all things cultural.

For more delicious samples of Engrish read the interviews on Coffins (Jp) homepage: http://www.coffins.jp/press.html their answers range from pretty hilarious to downright indecipherable.
