"WE ARE BACK !!!" (Asami) Back from a 2 year hiatus (Covid-19, departure of bassist and band leader Miho), with new bassist Fami and new energy! This was the first full song of that concert after a 2-minute instrumental intro...

Welcome to the world of crazy and intense guitar solos, pounding super fast and relentless drumming, soaring and powerful vocals - the world of Lovebites. These ladies are phenomenal. They won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band and they keep getting better every year. Now do their live song "Judgement Day" from this same concert.

Formed in 2016 by Original bassist *Miho* and *Haruna* (4'10" Power drummer). Blond guitarist *Midori* - took up guitar age 20 and went to a 'shred academy", Dark hair guitarist *Miyako* - Classical piano since 3, bought a guitar at 18 and taught herself how to play. *Asami* (vocals/Lyrics) -16 years of Ballet, was an R&B singer who discovered she could do Metal vocal Belts at her Lovebites audition. Miho left for personal reasons in 2021. New bassist here is 20yo *Fami* added Oct '22. This was Lovebites' 1st Live show in 2 yrs, and Fami's 1st Live performance with Lovebites - and 1st with a crowd of over a dozen or so. That is why they were all so F-ing happy! At the Beginning, Asami yells: *"We Are Baaaaack!"* Yep, they are *Baaaaack!* 🤘🏻🐺🤘🏻

@@lakenneth374 There is a lot of interplay with the Women of Metal in Japan. Harazuki-san, Mayu, and Tamu went to the Judgement Day tour finale and went backstage to meet the band.Haraguchi-san was excited to feel Midori's Muscles :0) . A couple of weeks later Mayu and Miyako went deep sea fishing together and posted pictures together with their catch on Twitter. Maybe there will be a Lovebites/Nemophila two-man show in the future.

Welcome to the realm of the Wolfpack (Lovebites fans around the world) ! What you have just witnessed is one of the best and most talented bands (and not just heavy metal) on the planet today. These ladies play a seamless and innovative blend of several metal & heavy rock genres/sub-genres which makes their sound unique. After experiencing this thrash song, I recommend another one - "Set the World on Fire" LIVE : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5-qpqtnzq3DZpc.html . Enjoy your Lovebites journey !

Welcome! Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES. LOVEBITES has about 60 songs. Please keep up the good work LOVEBITES. LOVEBITES was formed in 2016 by Miho(Ba) and Haruna(Dr), members of the band "DESTROSE", which went on hiatus in 2015. The girls made their major label debut in 2017 (March 24) with "THE LOVEBITES EP". On 18 June 2018, LOVEBITES won 'BEST NEW BAND' at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods 2018 awards organised by the British metal magazine METAL HAMMER. On 4 August, LOVEBITES performed on the W.E.T stage at WACKEN OPEN AIR 2018, one of the world's largest annual metal festivals in Germany, with the 10,000 capacity venue almost full. "Bloodstack open air 2018(Aug. 10)" also participated. On August 20,2018, LOVEBITES announced that it has partnered with X-ray Touring, one of the largest players in the UK booking agent industry. LOVEBITES toured the Netherlands, Germany, France and UK from November 13-21, 2018. Asami (Vo) of LOVEBITES appeared as a guest on stage at Halestorm "Download Japan 2019(March 21)", singing alongside "Lzzy" Hale on Halestorm's 'Love Bites', which gave the band their name. I participated in "dowload Festival 2019(June 15)". And Asami of LOVEBITES appeared as a guest on stage at Halestorm Download Festival UK 2019, singing alongside "Lzzy" Hale on Halestorm's "Love Bites" again after Japan.

Can't help lol watching the facial expressions when people first see and hear lovebites, a little ooh, and then a smile of shock and surprise, and the journey begins. You'll be recommended a number of songs to do next but all I can say is choose any and you'll not be disappointed, they have no bad songs, yes they really are that good. Every member is world class level, and as a band they gel into one like no other, beware though because they are highly addictive and once bitten forever smitten. Simply put they are effing awesome! Enjoy your journey, will see you soon 🤘🎤🥁🎹🎸🐺

Welcome to LOVEBITES 🤘🏼🐺🔥 The band is around since 2016 and released their first EP and album in 2017. At this point they have 4 albums, some singles and EPs and also 4 official live DVD/Blu-ray releases. They’ve already toured in Europe back in 2018/2019, including the major metal festivals as Wacken, Download, Bloodstock, Graspop. Then came Covid, their original bass player and founder Miho quit the band for personal reasons and two babies were born. After that LOVEBITES came back with new bassist and new song „Judgement Day“ in late 2022. New album with the same name came out in February 2023. LOVEBITES just finished touring in Japan. Earlier this year in march they played their comeback show. This was their first live gig since 2021 and first show with their new bassist Fami. There are 4 videos available of this concert. „The hammer of wrath“ that you’ve seen, was the first song on the setlist, after the instrumental intro. We the Wolfpack, name of LOVEBITES fans worldwide, are all hoping for a world tour next year … The band: Asami vocals, most of the lyrics, song writing - the one and only voice Miyako guitar, pianos, keyboards, main composer - the golden touch Midori guitar, songwriting for a few songs - crazy shredder Haruna drums, wrote one of their songs - little big engine Fami bass - shining fingers (Miho bass, song writing and founder - natural born headbanger)

LOVEBITES - The Hammer Of Wrath lyrics: What's the worst way to die? Burning to death, or drowning? Everyone laughs in derision There's no hope at all Why is the world rotting away Howling in pain, they slowly die All of the sorrow is murderous The insanity (Burn up) They're calling me (Burn up) It's do or die (Burn up) Get ready for hell (Bring down justice to the wicked) Don't look away from the mistakes Open your eyes, and see the truth When lightning cracks the blackened sky Listen to the screams of distress It's like a bad dream but it's not No way to get out, a living nightmare Bring down the Hammer of Wrath Who will be the next to burn? God only knows the victim Everyone knows they are innocent All the hope is gone In despair they pass away There was no hope to begin with Even the angels are giving up Looking down on us Will this night ever break dawn (Bring down justice to the wicked) SOLO: midori / mi-ya [miyako] What's the worst way to die? Burning to death, or drowning? Everyone laughs in derision There's no hope at all Why is the world rotting away Howling in pain, they slowly die All of the sorrow is murderous The insanity (Burn up) They're calling me (Burn up) It's do or die (Burn up) Get ready for hell (Bring down justice to the wicked) Don't look away from the mistakes Open your eyes, and see the truth When lightning cracks the blackened sky Listen to the screams of distress It's like a bad dream but it's not No way to get out, a living nightmare Bring down the Hammer of Wrath Bring down the Hammer of Wrath SOLO: mi-ya [miyako] ----- lyrics: miho music: miho & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao from Awakening From Abyss 2017

Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 They are scheduled to play at ProgPower USA festival in Atlanta on September 6, 2024. Lovebites is one of the best bands in our country, especially in live performance. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄

Congratulations, you just found the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their first five years of existence, they put themselves on par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. They recently went on a year-and-a half hiatus while they waited out the pandemic and searched for a new bassist. They announced the new bassist in October 2022 (see below) and dropped their first new song on December 22. Their new album, “Judgement Day”, was released two months later. They did their first live performances in more than two years in summer of 2023, with their new bassist Fami. Their very first show was commemorated on the DVD “Knocking on Heaven’s Gate”. They have posted four performances from that DVD-“”Hammer of Wrath”, “Judgement Day”, “Nameless Warrior” and “Liar”. All of them are barn-burners, as you may guess based on seeing the first one. Some background: They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and founder of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the great European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other groups. The four of them then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she was also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed a little more than half of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics and is also getting involved in composing. In mid-2021, Miho left the band she had founded, for personal reasons. They went on hiatus while they searched for a new bassist, and during that time, two of them had babies, even as the band were writing and rehearsing their new album. They recently announced the new bassist, Fami, who is a young phenom and herself a composer and multi-instrumentalist. Their first song with Fami is “Judgement Day” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5mles2hkrabdH0.html The instrumentalists studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance was that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. Almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel (though she can also shred like crazy). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band." Here are more clips you should check out: “Set the World on Fire” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5-qpqtnzq3DZpc.html from their 2021 concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”. “Don’t Bite the Dust” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pa6efqp2z5enfZc.html, from the same concert; "Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdJgYLhe3tGuc4k.html They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope. Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/or6Ykth-sp-Ymok.html; Perhaps their greatest masterpiece, a showcase of multi-instrumental virtuosity and even classical dance “A Frozen Serenade” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8too7SH2pO2fmw.html; And their most reacted-to video, “Holy War”: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mM1xq9N21avHnqM.html Miyako is also a virtuoso concert pianist, and was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. She is self-taught on the guitar. If you want to see what she can do on the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jaiYp9SYzr6pcWg.html. For a thrasher with heavy Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7aTY7t8ldKynYk.html includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M. For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9-eobt1y6vSno0.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both) While you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular: "Shadowmaker" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNidos-fmq3cpac.html This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world "When Destinies Align" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrJ2mM96npm6m4E.html "Glory to the World" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y916p6djvau8eGg.html "Winds of Transylvania" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftl1Z7iTxLbOmGw.html. Finally, the audio tracks of some of the new album are up on youtube, and worth checking out. The band clearly came out swinging and wanted to make a statement. Every song on the album is a showcase of their incredible talent and songwriting capabilities. “Stand and Deliver” is a thrasher with a fun video of them in the studio. “Soldier Stands Solitarily”, the final song on the album, is being touted by some as the best thing they’ve done so far-I encourage you to see and decide for yourself! You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!

Thanks for all the info, suggestions and the feedback. I appreciate all the help as I go down the Lovebites rabbit hole. They are unbelievably talented! Their fresh take on a classic metal sound is really cool.

The hammer of wrath" is a song from their first full-length album, which they played as an opener or encore song in their early live performances. In fact, only a few of their 60 songs in their repertoire have a solo bass part, and since this revival concert also marked the first appearance of a new member, FAMI (bass), they used this song as the opening song.

57 yo metal head/musician here. I love Nightwish and Within Temptation(seen both in concert) and have seen my guys Priest every tour since 81(about 30 shows total)....these Ladies are my FAVORITE band now. Period! Before you dive too deep into the rabbit hole, get a couple of metal killers right out the gate. Break The Wall and Set the World on Fire. Then just grab EVERYTHING else.(I mean everything😉) They got my fire and joy in metal totally rekindled. Good lyrics, messages, and virtuosity off the chain.

Nate, like you I sat in 2020 and looked surprised when I first saw these women live on KZfaq. I'm glad that more and more rock and metal fans around the world are learning about these exceptionally skilled and creative Japanese women heavy metal bands through these reaction videos. In my opinion Lovebites are the best of the best, but they are not alone. Bands like Nemophila, Band Maid and Aldious have to be mentioned to make Japan's BIG 4 of female heavy metal complete. The fans of these bands also consider their band to be the best, of course. Except for a few, the fans of these bands are good among themselves and most are also fans of several of these bands. Over the years, however, fans who want to provoke war among the fans of these bands appear from time to time, sometimes out of naivety, sometimes out of stupidity, and often out of pure malice. Then there are times when all bands are threatened in their continued existence. Because all these bands are dependent on positive contributions in KZfaq. Japanese record companies do not have the capital to promote their bands worldwide with a lot of money in advertising. Let's hope for the best for the future, let's hope for sanity and reason. LB History : Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in 2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany 2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England 2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium 2019 - Download Festival in Spain. In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward. Members : Asami : Vocals, Piano🎤 Haruna Ishikawa : Drums🥁 Midori Tatematsu : Lead Guitar, backing vocals 🎸 Miyako Watanabe : Lead Guitar, Keyboard , Piano, Keytar, backing vocals🎸🎹 FAMI : Bass🎸 Founder : Miho Rosana : Bass (2016-2021)🎸 INFO : Miyako + Midori are the best guitar duo in 3 decades ! All Lovebites women are masters. These Ladies write, compose and arrange their own songs. Over 60 premium songs in 6 years and not a single weak song. Masters in live playing and geniuses in composing. LOVEBITES: Their gimmick is their ability! - This women play different styles, but always hard and fast. Thrash Metal + Power Metal + Speed Metal + Metal Ballads. ⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇ I've been a big LOVEbites fan for 3 years and fans never get enough of it so : S u g g e s t i o n s for next reaction V i d e o 's: (Copy the following sentence lines and enter them into the KZfaq search bar, you will find the videos) 🤘😎🤘 New Songs from the new LOVEBITES - LP Judgement Day : LOVEBITES music video - Stand and Deliver 2023 LOVEBITES music video - Judgement Day 2022 🤘🤘 Songs ALL LIVE with new bass player Fami 2023 !!!

They are all petite ladies, so in order to stand out on the dark metal stages. They choose to wear white as white reflects light, making them more visible to the audience. Final engineering and production on their songs is done in Finland by the same guys who do Nightwish's songs. They all write songs with Miyako, guitar, black hair, writing and arranging about half of the songs with Asmai, vocals, writing the lyrics. Miyako has her own YT channel, where talks about her guitars, etc. There are English Subs, but are hard to read as she is so beautiful you end up just staring at her.

"Give me something harder to ....lmao. yeah, if you are into Nightwish, you are going to love Lovebites. Live this band is just sensational, and like NW, expect the unexpected. They play a wide range of music, and both bands have lead vocalists that define the group, although Asami at 4' 10" next to Floor 6' 1" would be a riot of a duet. LIVE is where this band is exceptional, and while their MVs and studio works are great, nothing compares to their live performances.

If you ask me, I think Haruna (Lovebites' drummer) makes Lars Ulrich look silly, and I'm also a Metallica fan. One thing about these female Japanese bands is they all have fantastic drummers. All of them.

Welcome to the ultimate rabbit hole. You will find no finer musicians, performing carefully and skilfully crafted metal as close to perfection as it is humanly possible. There will be no song, no performance of lesser quality than that you have just witnessed. Seriously, I can hype up LOVEBITES all evening but at the end of the day a true connoisseur of metal won’t need telling and won’t be able to stay away from their music.
