    Our Rating System:
    We are both firm believers that it is unjust to review and rate an album after only hearing it one or two times therefore our method for reviews is much different than everyone else on UA-cam.
    Our review process starts off with a "listening session" where we hear the entire album from beginning to end, uninterrupted. We then post a video with our initial thoughts and opinions of the album. Over the course of a week we will each listen to the album as many times as we can, analyzing and critiquing it. Then at the end of the week we will post our full and final review of the album which will include our ratings.
    Our scoring method is unique to this channel as well. We each rate the album out of 10 but anything 8 and above simply just gets our Toe Tag. In order for an album to make it onto the list above it must receive Two Toe Tags. It if only gets one or none then it does not make our coveted list.
    Any album that receives Two Toe Tags is considered a top quality album of elite status and highly recommended by both of us. Be sure to Subscribe and turn on Notifications so you will always be in the loop with all the awesome metal we review!

    Yeah guys you just open the pandora box. What can I say about the band. Lovebites are formed 2016 from ex Destrose band members Miho the bassist and composer ( she is the band leader) and Haruna the drummer ( best female power metal drummer in the world at the moment, 4.9 beast on the drums) the other members are Asami the vocalist and songwriter ( she was R&b and jazz-soul singer before to join the band) Midori the lead guitarist, backing vocals and composer with the blonde hair ( one of the fastest female guitarists in the world at the moment, demon of the guitar) and Miyako the other lead guitarist, pianist and composer with the black hair ( she is the main composer of the band). Lovebites are the winners of the Metal Hammer Golden gods awards 2018 for best new metal band. Their last album Electric pentagram was nominated for one of the best 20 metal albums for 2020 year. The band is influenced by 80s metal, their inspiration bands are Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Halloween, Metallica and Slayer. At the moment they are the best all female power metal band in the world. Also they like to touring in Europe i sow them already twice in Wacken Germany 2018th and UK 2019 year that time they touring together with Dragon force. Right now they touring in Japan after they released the new EP Glory Glory to the world on 10th of March 2021. My suggestion the song Awakening/The Hammer of wrath live. Enjoy it. PS - they play always on high heels on the videos and when they play live.

    The lead singer Asami, sings in English. Her pronunciation sounds strange because her English is often based upon Japanese Hiragana, the phonetic alphabet of Japanese. Before joining Lovebites she grew up studying ballet and has sung gospel and R&B before joining this band. Miyako, the dark-haired guitarist is a classically trained pianist who also shreds. Midori, the blonde guitarist has actually not been playing guitar for as long as her ability would indicate. The awesome bassist, Miho, and drummer, Haruna, started this band when their previous band broke up. The ladies are quite small. The tallest is about 5'2" and Haruna is a tiny 4'9" in powerhouse on the drums. They don't have a bad song. You'll be happy with anything you pick out to listen to.

    It's in English, there is a video with subtitles. But that aside, these ladies are master musicians, both the guitarists Miyako, and Midori are master shredders. One of the things I love about their music is how effortlessly they can play other genre's, Break the Wall is right out of the slayer playbook, Holy War is straight-up Iron Maiden but 4x as fast, Hammer of Wrath is Thrash as fuck. one of my favorites that don't have live footage is Mastermind 01, its just so nasty.

    There are different layers to Lovebites in their sound. This song is their power metal side. As you listen to more of their songs, you will hear traditional 80s heavy metal and in your face thrash metal. They all impress the hell out of me with their talent not just as musicians but also as songwriters and lyricists. For a guitar clinic, give Scream for Me (live - Daughters of the Dawn). These two ladies will mesmerize you with their guitar skills.

    LOVEBITES - Glory to the World lyrics:
    Everything around us will fall into dark
    When you keep on looking into the sadness
    Nobody in this world may ever be free
    My hearts will shiver and I can't take deep breath
    But rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify
    The dawn will come and bring the light in this world
    Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
    I know you really care for me
    So I leave everything in your hands
    You'd walk with me all the way
    Learning to love yourself
    It is the greatest love of all
    Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me
    Standing in nowhere and searching for meanings
    A sleepless night haunting us like a shadow
    A blur in the future, the fear of unknown
    There will come a time where we can leave everything behind
    Breeze are running through the land and endless to the sky
    Together we will make it through this deep night
    Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
    I know you really care for me
    So I leave everything in your hands
    You'd walk with me all the way
    Learning to love yourself
    It is the greatest love of all
    Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me
    And rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify
    The dawn will come and bring the light and lead us to a new world
    Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
    I know you really care for me
    So I leave everything in your hands
    You'd walk with me all the way
    Learning to love yourself
    It is the greatest love of all
    Wherever you go, this world that we breathe together,
    Nothing more precious

    Yeah, enjoyed your reaction to LOVEBITES Glory to the World MV. They have been performing this and their other new MV 'Winds of Transylvania' at the 3 LIVE shows they have played this month in Japan. One more show on April 2nd is currently scheduled.
    Founded by bassist/leader Miho and drummer Haruna in 2016 and releasing their first full album October 2017 brought the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best New Band in Spring 2018 and appearing at Wacken Open Air which began many European dates through 2019, Download UK & Madrid, Graspop Metal Meeting, with November seeing them invited to be DragonForce's support for 11 shows in the UK including the guitarists jamming with DF in performance, and them all singing "My Heart Will Go On" together.
    LOVEBITES LIVE releases, Daughters of the Dawn 2019 and Five of a Kind 2020 are excellent camera work and audio recordings, as mentioned, mixed at FinnVox in Finland. Due to extensive 2020 tour canceled they did a studio-live beginning-to-end performance of their first full album "Awakening From Abyss" on the 3rd anniversary of it's release on Oct 25, 2020 entitled "Awake Again".
    Two very different songs from Five of a Kind are (Power-Metal) "Rising": ua-cam.com/video/Y_jrhzzcuRU/v-deo.html
    (Thrash) "M.D.O.": ua-cam.com/video/9BY0ZRrOnnc/v-deo.html both with lyrics embedded for clarity of understanding.
    Guitarist Midori (1st solo) wrote music for Glory to the World while vocalist Asami wrote lyrics. Guitarist Miyako also is classical pianist and educator, performs a solo Frédéric Chopin étude in the middle of Five of a Kind show.
    "Mom" says no 'subbing' on first 'reaction' so I'll have to wait. Thanks for watching, and showing LOVEBITES to others!

  • @JFrancoDrums
    @JFrancoDrums 3 роки тому +42

    Hey! Thanks for checking them out. Lovebites are a power/thrash metal band, they aim for a more classic 80's metal vibe, they take inspiration from bands like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Judas Priest, Helloween, etc. They usually don't have this Christian tone to their music, but this song is an exception to that, it is meant as a positive message for people struggling in these times of pandemic.
    They do sing 100% in English, but as you noted Asami the singer has an accent and can be a bit hard to pick up at first. Haruna's star shaped cymbal is her trademark, it's just for looks and for her to spin as she loves to do!
    They actually released a brand new EP with 5 songs a couple weeks ago, this one being the title track of the EP, it would be awesome if you guys could listen/review it!
    I understand that you guys are probably used to more heavier bands looking at the background behind you (im also a fan of many of those bands) but i also really enjoyed that you had an open mind going into it, and i think you would for sure enjoy their sound, their technical ability and their composition skills!
    If you want something more thrash metal try "Break the Wall" or "Hammer of Wrath" both Live at Zepp 2020
    If you want some power metal "Holy War" or "Swan Song" both Live at Zepp 2020
    As good as this band is in the studio, they are even better LIVE, so i would go with that! Just avoid anything from Bloodstock, terrible audio mix on that show.
    I really enjoyed this reaction (also enjoyed your Gojira - Amazonia review i was watching yesterday) and i hope you check them out again, this is a fantastic band and they are phenomenal at what they do!

    If you love this, there’s a whole new world of pleasure awaiting you with this band. It was actually in English, and it’s probably a good job you didn’t have the lyrics because they are vaguely evangelical, but that’s not the whole picture. The lyrics relate to Covid and looking forward, but the church is allegorical. They have an EP out right now, called Glory, Glory to the World and another video from that is called Winds of Transylvania, which is a theme song for the anime “Vlad Love”. Before you explore them in their live setting, “Winds” would be a perfect next stop.

    It seems that you’ve been lovebitten too. Welcomed to the amazing world of Lovebites; five awesome Japanese women who play (mostly) power metal but they are so talented, versatile and great musicians. They really shine in their live performances. If you want to see a recent and crazy video, try “Winds of Transylvania”.
    For you , headbangers, I suggest the songs “Hammer of wrath”, “Break the wall”, “Raise some hell”, “Scream for me”, “Shadowmaker”, “When destinies align”, “Signs of deliverance”, “Thunder vengeance”, “Dancing with the devil” (all live whenever possible)
    Lineup:
    Haruna: Drums
    Miho: Bass
    Midori: Lead & rhythm guitar
    Miyako: Lead & rhythm guitar, keyboards and classical piano
    Asami: Vocals
    BTW, Midori and Miyako performed at NAMM 2020 (separate)

  • @hiawatha.g
    @hiawatha.g 3 роки тому +5

    Actually in English. Glad you liked this. It's quite unusual in that they are not actually a religiously oriented band. But they are unique in Metal in that many of their songs are positive and uplifting. A little background:
    They were formed 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 metalhead and soul of the band) recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" pocket nuke), and they went and found the two guitarists, Midori and Miyako, who were with other bands, and the whole group found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time. Miho and Miyako compose most of their music, but Midori has also been getting into the act, and Asami writes a lot of the lyrics.
    They have only been around for a little over 4 years. They studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Slayer etc. and they pretty much aced it all. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and it seems clear they’re taking it to another level.
    They do everything from soulful power ballads to white-hot insane thrash, and almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two shredders are very different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel. Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The interplay 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 reactor said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band.") Miyako is also a concert-level classical pianist-she only picked up guitar when she was 18.
    They are amazing live. You should next check out “Holy War” live: "Holy War" Dual shred harmonies: ua-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/v-deo.html
    You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!

    Always entertaining when Western Barbarians first watch/hear a Japanese all female band of the Metal/Rock genre. FYI there are 100's of them in Japan, you need to pick up the pace.
    They write their own songs in much same method as Band Maid. Miyako sends the music to everyone, they add their parts and Asami is the primary lyricist with Miho. One difference is they have a 6th member, Mao, he composes with them and co-arranges.
    Can't wait for them to play LA.

    Haruna's star cymbal is kind of a trademark thing for her, carried over from her previous band, Destrose. She used to use glittery pinwheel stars (like you'd get at the dollar store) to decorate her set, and when she picked up a Sabian endorsement deal, they made her a couple of custom brass ones.
    All-female (or female-fronted or co-ed) metal bands in Japan are a rabbit hole well worth falling into. There are (and have been) a lot of them, and the quality is staggering. I'm also a big fan of Doll$Boxx (intense proggy metal with intelligently-incorporated pop elements), Unlucky Morpheus (symphonic powermetal with the same - brilliant - vocalist as Doll$Boxx and a world-class violinist), Nemophila (versatile "supergroup" that can do anything from metalcore to melodic metal...and have some brilliant covers, too), HAGANE (new-ish band with young virtuoso guitarist Sakura Yoshida), Show-Ya (possibly the first all-female metal band that mattered...still performing with all members in their late 50's and still killing it), and seriously the list goes on.

    Well the petite models who when dressed in white and have on high heels power like a Lambroughini in top gear on the open road through another great song. If you were impressed here WAIT till you do them LIVE. The relentless pursuit of PERFECTION is what drives this band. 1st all female metal band from Japan to play Wacken and Bloodstock (2018), best new metal band (2018) and last album nominated for Album of the Year (Electric Pentagram). These insanely talented women are the real deal, Power, Speed, Thrash, Rock, Ballads and even classical piano (yes classical piano)! Only been around from 2016 and wanted a more European sound in their J/Metal so all the glory of 80's metal raised to whole new level. Asami/vocals is an ex-ballerina and comes from R & B/Jazz/Soul genres NEVER sang for a metal band or a metal song before joining the band, she is as you will see a wicked stage commander who pumps the crowds up in every concert.

    I was thinking perhaps “Thunder Vengeance” after reading the lyrics. IDK if it’s just me or not, but there is something extremely interesting about Asami in her princess skirt singing those lyrics or “Hammer of Wrath”. I like the songs with the uplifting lyrical themes and scores, like this one, but the darker stuff they do is really fascinating. I hope they keep making music like they have been- and reading “Paranoia” it seems that they have. I can’t wait to see how these girls are going to keep destroying our boundaries in future!!

      Except for Haruna who wears red walking shoes during the show, and puts on high heels before climbing out of her drum battery to bow for the audience.
      She is short, but with an average female length of 5'-1 1/2" (156cm) in Japan, not extreme.
      And I wouldn't be surprised if she is the strongest of the lot, no implants needed.
      Her main attraction is: she is an amazing drummer. But yes, she is cute, that's a bonus.

    Their not religious or preachy. The song is just a song of hope for everyone, going through the pAst year. They are in white outfits, to contrast with their music. As metal is always thought of as dark, black. The Star cymbal is Harunna, from her former band Destrose. Try song Holy War.

    @garykeeling2275 3 роки тому +13

    Although this song has Christian vibes, as you noted, they're not a Christian band. Asami is the singer and main lyricist. She likes to incorporate elements of various religions into some of their songs, not to be preachy, but just to spread positivity to a larger audience. For this song, the gospel elements came about because Midori (blonde ponytail, purple guitar) recently visited the US, and was impressed with some gospel choirs in some southern black churches she was invited to, and she wanted to pay tribute to that, so she wrote and composed the music. Asami wanted to do a couple things with the song. In keeping with Midori's tribute to American gospel music, she added some Christian spiritual elements to the song. But her overarching theme with the lyrics was about coming together during the pandemic to help each other through loneliness, depression and grief. One UA-camr aptly described this song: "This isn't music, this is sounds falling from heaven!"

    React to snything for their 2020 Conceet at Zepp Diver City concert and their 2019 conceert called 'Daughters of the Dawn'. Be quick a lot of the videos from these concerts are being taken down. I recommed 'Holy War, 'Edge of the World' and 'Epilogue' for starters.

    Its good to know the background to this, since its about giving hope in this stupid Covid times. They made a new EP during it.
    ALL their songs except one is in english. Asamis sweet accent just makes it difficult to understand.
    Funny to see how much you liked it. I was sold immediately and I can have onlt Lovebites on repeat all days. They made that much during their short career (since 2016).
    They make the best power metal I know and they make the best thrash metal I know. The make the best music I know. Hope you will continue your journey and maybe with some more brutal thing. This song is is quite "polished". And its best live...
    The stars are Harunas trade marks. She brought them from previous band, Destrose.

    Lovebites performed at Wacken Open Air on August 4th, 2018, being the first all-female Japanese metal band to do so. Their most recent album is called Electric Pentagram and released last year in January. It's pretty great. I'd recommend you check out their song "When Destinies Align". That's the single from that album that really started to get the group a lot of international recognition.

    Everything around us will fall into dark
    When you keep on looking into the sadness
    Nobody in this world may ever be free
    My heart will shiver and I can't take deep breath
    But rains will end and nights will pass, griefs will purify
    The dawn will come and bring the light in this world
    Grace to my heart, hallelujah
    I know you really care for me
    So I leave everything in your hands
    You'd walk with me all the way
    Learning to love yourself
    It is the greatest love of all
    Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to believe
    Standing in nowhere and searching for meanings
    A sleepless night haunting us like a shadow
    A blur in the future, the fear of unknown
    There will come a time where we can leave everything behind
    Breeze are running through the land and endless to the sky
    Together we will make it through this deep night
    Grace to my heart, hallelujah
    I know you really care for me
    So I leave everything in your hands
    You'd walk with me all the way
    Learning to love yourself
    It is the greatest love of all
    Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to believe
    And rains will end and nights will pass, griefs will purify
    The dawn will come and bring the light and lead us to new world
    Grace to my heart, hallelujah
    I know you really care for me
    So I leave everything in your hands
    You'd walk with me all the way
