    These ladies are unbelievably talented and, as you'll discover in your journey, they cover the whole genre of heavy metal from slow and melodic ballads to heavy thrash and excel in all. The more you hear them the better they seem to get. I saw them live in July and I can tell you that they are 💯 the real deal, and sound every bit as good as they do on video. Enjoy your journey into wolves den of lovebites metal 🤘🎤🎹🥁🎸🐺

    Welcome to Lovebites, the best metal band in the world imho, and my favorite band. I'm still trying to process seeing them live twice last month. Pretty much all the things you said - they bring back classic metal, but with a modern twist, and their talent level is so high to play what they do live, so in sync with each other. They don't have a bad song in their catalog, so it'll be a fun ride for you exploring more of them. I subscribed so I can check it out. Enjoy!

    Bassist Fami did her first song of the first common performance with LOVEBITES here (and the rest of them the first show on stage after almost 2 years hiatus. Founding bassist Miho left the band in August 2021 for personal reasons during Covid-19.
    Thus Asami's "WE ARE BAAAAAACK !!!" at the beginning...

    • @rolandkarlsson7072
      @rolandkarlsson7072 Місяць тому +9

      And that is also why Asami (the singer) gives Fami (the bassist) a thumbs up and a big smile at the small bass "solo".

  • @rolandkarlsson7072
    @rolandkarlsson7072 Місяць тому +17

    As others have said. This is their first live performance after the hiatus. And it seems like they come back as a strengthened and happy band. They seem more relaxed and more happy. There can be many reasons for this. One is that they are older and two of them are now moms. Another reason might be Fami, a young girl that seems to be a bundle of joy. This song is BTW her first performance for a Lovebites'es audience. Anyhow, Lovebites mk I is totally fantastic. They have very good performances to look at and have written loads of fantastic music. But Lovebites mk II is something else. It has more drive and more happiness. And it has also produced some new bangers. Note, that this particular song is an old one. There is a good performance of it with mk I.

    Welcome to the realm of the Wolfpack (Lovebites fans from around the world) ! These amazing ladies play a seamless and innovative blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/heavy rock/power ballads which makes their sound unique and contemporary. Asami (lead vocalist) has been compared to DIo, Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) and Rob Halford (Judas Priest). Miyako is the lead guitarist at stage left and Midori is the lead guitarist at stage right. As you have just witnessed, this band is phenomenal LIVE ! Here's another face-melter - "Soldier Stands Solitarily" LIVE : ua-cam.com/video/30yWisiRBuM/v-deo.html . Enjoy your Lovebites journey !

      LOL, that face-melter as the second song... that's hardcore! Someone else suggested "Holy War", the most common "first introduction song" of LOVEBITES. On the other hand, it doesn't really matter, because ANY song will do, LOVEBITES has no weak songs, only good songs (bangers) and masterpieces...

      @@rainerzufall42 When recommending videos for reactions, it’s actually typical to pick the better songs, so while there are better options available now, it doesn’t really make sense to pick Holy War. I think people pick it mostly out of habit now, rather than the effect it would have on the reactor, as very few people seem to even favor it enough to put it in a top 10. Personally, I just think it’s average when compared to all their songs (not near top, or bottom), while average doesn’t make a good pick IMO.

      Out of both old and new songs, some songs are better than others, insomuch as all songs are not equal.
      “showing the capability of the band's artists”
      Not all songs show this to the same extent.
      “The limitation of any musical piece isn't the missing talent of any member”
      I didn’t mention any missing talent; however, if you were to remove Miyako and Midori, and replaced them with two guitarists of much lower proficiency, a limitation of the musical piece would be the result.

    LOVEBITES - The Hammer Of Wrath lyrics & credits:
    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?

    Interesting and good reaction video. You said a lot of things and most of them are absolutely right.👍
    Lovebites 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.
    2019 - Download Festival in UK.
    2019 - Summer Sonic 2019 Festival in Japan
    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.

    This is a video of the first number in the band's first concert after being on hiatus for nearly two years. It is also the first time the new bassist, Fami, played with the band in public. At the time this was recorded she was 20 years old, had never previously played in a real band or performed in public before an audience of any size. You would never have guessed it from her confident stage presence and performance. If you want to see traded guitar solos you should check out the live videos of Lovebites' "Judgement Day" snd "Soldier Stands Solitarily" and for something different the live versions of "Frozen Serenade": and "Swan Song" with the Chopin Intro.

    They play Eclectic Metal. It means they blend as the first band in history all kind of metal mainly power and thrash with NWOBHM,
    heavy metal, symphonic metal, speed metal,hair metal, hard rock, rock, rock'n'roll, jazz, progressive pieces, funk and even punk. They mix all with classical music using operatic, R&B, soul and gospel skills of vocalist and grand piano and Spanish guitar skills playing. Sometimes they use typical Japanese melodic lines which are included in ENKAs_ melancholy ballads singing by Japanese women. Only their can do it. Obviously they draw a lot from British, German and American metal. All this makes their style unique.

    Welcome to the Wolfpack - Lovebites is seriously one of the best groups of musicians in rock/metal today. They look like they are having fun because they are *having fun*! This video was also sort of a landmark for them, as it was their first tour after coming back from the pandemic break, with a new bassist at that. (Fami, the bassist in question, is an incredible talent - so she fits in with each of these incredible musicians so well.)
    I highly recommend more of their stuff. They deserve every moment of fame they can get, because they somehow transcend genre. Check out "Frozen Serenade" and "Swan Song (with Chopin intro)" if you want to see some more balladic stylings, "Spellbound" if you want to be transported back to the 1980's, or "Soldier Stands Solitarily" for some one high BPM thrash metal.
    Another great female group of artists from Japan is Band-Maid. (Check out DOMINATION, or HATE live to start with.)

    LOVEBITES is a five-member all-female, Japanese heavy metal band with deep musicianship (plus classical music/piano background). They transcend gender, genre, and geography, with some 65 songs in their discography. They won Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best New Band (2018), toured with Dragonforce (2019), first female Japanese band to perform at Wacken Open Air (Germany) and others in Europe, and are unusual among Japanese bands in choosing to sing in English plus good lyrics (a daunting task for native Japanese speakers).They play a variety of heavy metal styles and are heavily influenced by NWBHM, especially Iron Maiden and the "big four" thrash metal bands.

    Great reaction ! I'm glad you discover the Lovebites; they will surprise you yet! Let me suggest you some songs I'm sure you enjoy:
    "Soldier stands solitarily" (LIVE 2023), maybe the greatest liveperformance of the band
    "Break the wall" (LIVE 2020), the most brutal thrash/speed metal song of the band
    "Judgement day" OMV 2023, title-track of the latest album, epic power metal with insane guitar solos
    "Set the world on fire"" (LIVE 2021) pure thrash metal with great guitar solos
    "Holy war" (2020), their most classic performance and the most known song on the net
    "Stand and deliver" OMV 2023, funny song that shows a different side of the band
    "Shadowmaker" OMV 2017, the first great success of the band, with wonderful guitar solos
    "We are the resurrection" (LIVE 2023, released a few weeks ago on their channel), memorable epic and fast power metal
    "Soul defender" OMV 2024, the latest song published a few days ago.
    "Frozen serenade" (LIVE 2021), emotional power ballad that shows the multi-instrumental skills of the band.
    "Edge of the world" (LIVE 2023), another superb ballad with an intense guitar solo by Miyako
    "Unchained" OMV 2024, one of the latest release of the band
    "Scream for me" (LIVE 2019) 14 guitar solos!!!
    "When destinies allign" OMV 2020, with crazy guitar solos and double guitar solo
    "The crusade" OMV 2017, a tribute to Iron Maiden
    These are just examples to begin, the Lovebites discography containes about 60 songs, and there isn't a bad song.
    The Lovebites formed in 2016 and have published 4 LP and 3 EP. The members you have seen are:
    ASAMI, singer, composer and Lyrics maker, called "The one and unique voice"
    HARUNA, drummer and founder of the group, an authentic drum-machine, called "little big engine"
    MIDORI, guitarist (the blonde) and composer, called "crazy shredder"
    MIYAKO, guitarist (the dark haired), pianist, main composer, the genius of the group, called "golden touch"
    FAMI, bass player, the youngest and very talented, called "shining fingers"
    Fami joined the band in 2022, after the former bassist MIHO (great bass player she also) left the band for personal reasons.
    I hope my informations are useful for you, and good trip in the amazing Lovebites' world

    Welcome to Lovebites, the Wolfpack 🐺 Lovebites fans around the world, will be along to give you information and recommendations.
    Lovebites are a Japanese heavy metal band, formed in 2016 by Miho, Bass, who was previously in the band DESTROSE that broke up in 2015. They take much of their influence from the 1970's and 80's British and European bands such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Metallica. Miho is a big fan of Steve Harris, bass player with Iron Maiden and is influenced by his playing style. She left the band in 2021 for personal reasons and is currently pursuing new projects.
    Any Lovebites video recorded in 2021 or earlier, the bassist will be Miho (ESP Bass), any from 2022 or later, it is Fami (Bacchus Bass, usually a 5 string)
    The present members are,
    Asami, Vocals and Piano. She trained in Ballet Dancing and before Lovebites was a R&B singer. She writes many of the lyrics and sings in English, not easy for a native Japanese speaker.
    Midori, (Midori Tatematsu) ESP Guitars. The blond 'Amazon Warrior'. Before Lovebites a member of all female band GEKIJO METALICCHE.
    Miyako, ( Watanabe Miyako, also has used the name Mi Ya) Dean and Gibson Guitars, Piano and Keyboards. The 'serious' one with long black hair. Before Lovebites a member of the bands DROP OF JOKER, 21g and SONIC LOVER RECKLESS. She is a classically trained pianist who writes much of the music, often incorporating classical themes into her compositions. She recently posted a 3 part series on her YT channel 'MIYAKO OFFICIAL' about the process she uses to compose new music in her home studio. She has an EP of some classic heavy metal songs transcibed and played on piano as though they are classical works. It would be accurate to think of her as a classical pianist who also plays guitar in a heavy metal band. A remarkable young woman.
    Both Guitarists play lead, seamlessly swapping lead and rhythm as required. They play wonderful harmonised dual solos.
    Fami, Bacchus Bass. Recruited as replacement for Miho in late 2022 when she was 20 years old and still at university. She has her own YT channel that has nearly 700,000 subs. Check out her 'Alien Alien' Slap Bass cover from when she was in her teens.
    Haruna, Drums. The 'Little BIG Engine'. a tiny lady, 1.45 meters tall, who is the power house that drives the band. Before Lovebites she had been in Destrose, Miho's former band, and was the first to join her in the new band. She plays powerfully, fast and precisely throughout concerts that can be up to near 2 hours long. She uses a double kick bass pedal at unbelievable speed.
    All members of the band can play piano/keyboards.
    They were the first all female Japanese band to play at the Wacken festival, Germany in 2018, also playing at the Bloodstock festival in the UK and winning the UK Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band. In 2019 they toured the UK with Dragon Force and opened for Arch Enemy in China. Following Miho's departure in 2021 they went on hiatus, two members, Asami and Miyako getting married and having babies. Their 'comeback' concert, the first with Fami on Bass, was in March 2023.
    Here are a few recommendations for further listening;
    Holy War,
    Break The Wall,
    Soldier Stand Solitary,
    Golden Destination (there is a video that has footage from their 2019 tour of the UK with Dragon Force, including Herman Li as the 'missing sixth member of Lovebites' wearing a white dress)
    Thunder Vengeance,
    M.D.O.,
    Scream For Me (live from 'Daughters of the Dawn' "OK Haruna, Give me the beat") For a masterclass in syncronised guitar shredding.
    Winds of Transylvania (written for a Japanese Anime series VLADLOVE)
    Frozen Serenade,
    Swan Song, with the Chopin piano introduction played by Miyako,
    Edge of the World,
    Epilogue.
    There are many more I could suggest, but this should give you an idea of their range. The Wolfpack will have more suggestions. I would suggest watching live performances wherever possible. The ladies really shine on stage. I saw Lovebites live in London twice last summer during their recent European tour. I have been a fan of Rock and Metal music right from the beginning seeing bands bands like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Iron Maiden when they were 'new', Lovebites are amongst the best I have ever seen since I started going to music gigs in the 1960's. 🤘🐺

It is also her first time in front of an audience of this size. The full concert ran to nearly 2 hours with no slackening in pace and power. Yes, the Girls can ROCK

    Congratulations on discovering Lovebites. 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, after their founder and original bassist left the band for personal reasons.
    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” (you just watched this)
    “Judgement Day” ua-cam.com/video/yYEUGlFNBKc/v-deo.html
    “Nameless Warrior” ua-cam.com/video/Dl29tiJCbNM/v-deo.html and
    “Liar” ua-cam.com/video/YWHPfnJz2qk/v-deo.html
    All of them are barn-burners.
    They have also posted:

    “Swan Song” ua-cam.com/video/bK21cuI-V7c/v-deo.html
