LOVEBITES - The Crusade lyrics: Walking in shadows, immersed in deception While hiding our agony, faking a smile Pulling the trigger to lose my religion All of the truth ends up murdered by lies Dancing with demons, they seem to be fond of me Let’s start the ritual for the revenge Pulling the trigger to burn non-believers Being the odd one out drives me insane I’m a fool in disguise You’d never realize Found myself in its song Where else would I belong? Break free Fight to live on, forever strong Break free Heart made of steel, show me what’s real Deep down My heartbeat and blood burning with love Deep down It’s time to begin the crusade Wanting an answer, but losing myself While I’m hiding my anger behind empty smiles Pulling the trigger to punish the traitors All of your words were just nothing but lies Crawling in chaos, I’m losing my breath, tell me What do you see through your sinister eyes? Pulling the trigger to kill the oppressors I had no choice but to hide when I cried
Found myself in its song Where else would I belong? Break free Always believe, hope is the key Break free Heart made of steel, knight of ordeal Deep down Destroy the restraints, never again Deep down It’s time to begin the crusade SOLO: midori / miyako Break free Fight to live on, forever strong Break free Heart made of steel, show me what’s real Deep down My heartbeat and blood burning with love Deep down Be true to yourself and your beliefs It’s time to get up and breath ----- lyrics: miho music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) from Battle Against Damnation 2018
LOVEBITES - The Crusade lyrics (Romanian): Mergând în umbră, cufundat în înșelăciune În timp ce ne ascundeam agonia, prefăcându-ne un zâmbet Apăsând pe trăgaci pentru a-mi pierde religia Tot adevărul ajunge să fie ucis de minciuni Dansând cu demoni, par să-mi placă Să începem ritualul răzbunării Apăsând pe trăgaci pentru a arde necredincioșii A fi cel ciudat mă înnebunește Sunt un prost deghizat Nu ți-ai da seama niciodată M-am regăsit în cântecul său Unde altundeva aș aparține? Scăpa Luptați să trăiți, veșnic puternici Scăpa Inimă din oțel, arată-mi ce este real În adâncul sufletului Bătăile inimii și sângele îmi ard cu dragoste În adâncul sufletului Este timpul să începem cruciada Dorind un răspuns, dar pierzându-mă În timp ce îmi ascund furia în spatele zâmbetelor goale Apăsând pe trăgaci pentru a-i pedepsi pe trădători Toate cuvintele tale nu erau decât minciuni Mă târâind în haos, îmi pierd respirația, spune-mi Ce vezi prin ochii tăi sinistri? Apăsând pe trăgaci pentru a ucide opresorii Nu am avut de ales decât să mă ascund când am plâns M-am regăsit în cântecul său Unde altceva aș aparține? Scăpa Credeți întotdeauna, speranța este cheia Scăpa Inimă din oțel, cavaler al calvarului În adâncul sufletului Distrugeți restricțiile, niciodată În adâncul sufletului Este timpul să începem cruciada Scăpa Luptați să trăiți, veșnic puternici Scăpa Inimă din oțel, arată-mi ce este real În adâncul sufletului Bătăile inimii și sângele îmi ard cu dragoste În adâncul sufletului Fii fidel cu tine și credințele tale Este timpul să vă ridicați și să respirați -----
I love this song. Amazing guitar tone and I absolutely love the gallopping sound. The guitarwork is a pure thing of beauty as usual with Lovebites and it's so catchy to boot. I could listen to this on repeat day in day out.
I believe this LIVE video was filmed at Underworld in London, UK on November 27, 2017 during LOVEBITES first ever trip to Europe to perform, that representatives from Metal Hammer Magazine were present at the show and that experience plus EP "The LOVEBITES EP" May 24, 2017 and their first full CD release, "Awakening From Abyss" on October 25, 2017 was what resulted in the "Golden Gods of Heavy Metal, Best New Band 2018" award from Metal Hammer. A 'competition' that included ALL Metal bands worldwide, gender inclusive. This is also their only song with lyrics by Miho and music by Miyako. ("Break The Wall" is their other collaboration with music and lyrics by Miho with the serene 'bridge' & bluesy-solo contributed by Miyako.) Corrections for inaccuracies is always appreciated. 🐺
trupa asta m-a cucerit total.ascult metal de vreo 35 de ani, aveam la un moment vreo 1200 casete audio, am ascultat de la Sepultura la Maiden, de la Helloween la Judas Priest, de la King Diamond la Nightwish, de la In Flames la Death, Slayer, Overkill si alte zeci de trupe dar trupa asta e exceptionala.a adus un suflu nou . nu cred ca se asteapta cineva ca in momentul in care vede 5 femei imbracate ca niste printese, pe tocuri inalte, cu inaltimi de 1,49 - 1,57 cm, sa rockareasca asa meserias. minunata trupa asta . 5 femei extrem de talentate care pot concura oricind si cu orice trupa metal masculina. 7 zile si voi zdrobi urechile vecinilor mei cu noul album. salutari si numai bine
The good point is so obviously not the bad point. I love how quick you two are to point out where you think a band's influences might come from. Like you, I believe it isn't possible to write music without having some sort of conception of what it might sound like, and the only way you can have that conception is to have heard it from somewhere before you wrote it. Whenever you point out where you think a band has an influence, I check out the band (and song) that you referenced. All it does is help me to grow my metal library, and my appreciation for what younger bands are adding to (and deriving from) the bands that came before them. Kudos to you - especially considering how young you guys are - as a 60-somethin metal-head, I really appreciate your young person's insight.
Thanks so much for this comment. We've gotten some negative feedback from people who thought we were setting bands against each other as in some competition. While personally I think competition can be fun, that was never our intention, but a lot more along the lines of what you say! Thanks so much for watching! /Andrei
I agree with you regarding pointing out potential influences on the song. It's not a bad thing - no band is original, and it's testament to their skills as songwriters (see what I did there?) that you can see where they're coming from musically. Another great reaction! Now, they released a new song from the album called Dissonance, but it doesn't have a video. I reckon you'd love to analyse that one!
I think the words you were looking for at around 8 minutes in were "Lovebites pick the best from every style and then combine it to make it even better".
LOVEBITESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS BROAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I fucking love 'em ! I repeat myself with each reaction on Lovebites, but I am so waiting for the day when we will see them on stage !!! This day will be EPIC, right no ???!!!
You seem like you enjoy this MV version but you also should try the live version because yet Miyako is doing great tapping riff behind the part "break free" but it is buried in the MV mixing and hardly audible.
Lovebites never disappoint! 😛 It’s fast, it’s catchy.. see them live must be awesome! There’s a huge power metal vibe coming from this song, something that I never identified in their other song I think, but that’s great! I find it hard to identify Japanese métal sometimes cause it’s so unique! Awesome review as always guys!🤘
Yeah it's hard to box them but for me Lovebites seem to be mainly revolving around thrash and power metal with hints of classical music. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching! /Andrei
Finally! I always enjoy watching your videos In Japan, EPILOGUE, Empty Daydream, Above the Black Sea, and Bravehearted are blocked and cannot be seen can i see it somewhere else?
You two are the only people who have not noticed the Iron Maiden connection. Look up the song “Aces High” by Maiden. First time I heard The Crusade I thought it WAS aces high. Miho’s homage to her heroes. Please please please do a dual reaction to the singles that have followed Judgement Day, “The Spirit Lives On” and “Dissonance”, both on the official UA-cam channel (just type in the title in search). You’ll thank me I promise you.
Hey! To be fair, we don't know Aces High enough to recognize it in other songs but we could feel the Maiden influence since we started checking out Lovebites. We already have a reaction to Judgement Day. The other 2 singles will come later because we have a ton of recorded videos we want to get out. /Andrei
@@thewindmillfullovcorpses fair enough, but the singles need to Jump the queue 😂😂😂 The band have just this second announced a listening party on the 21st for the album.

LoveBites tribute to Iron Maiden ! MIHO!!! MIHO!!! MIHO!!! 🤟
LOVEBITES - The Crusade lyrics:
Walking in shadows, immersed in deception
While hiding our agony, faking a smile
Pulling the trigger to lose my religion
All of the truth ends up murdered by lies
Dancing with demons, they seem to be fond of me
Let’s start the ritual for the revenge
Pulling the trigger to burn non-believers
Being the odd one out drives me insane
I’m a fool in disguise
You’d never realize
Found myself in its song
Where else would I belong?
Break free
Fight to live on, forever strong
Break free
Heart made of steel, show me what’s real
Deep down
My heartbeat and blood burning with love
Deep down
It’s time to begin the crusade
Wanting an answer, but losing myself
While I’m hiding my anger behind empty smiles
Pulling the trigger to punish the traitors
All of your words were just nothing but lies
Crawling in chaos, I’m losing my breath, tell me
What do you see through your sinister eyes?
Pulling the trigger to kill the oppressors
I had no choice but to hide when I cried
Found myself in its song
Where else would I belong?
Break free
Always believe, hope is the key
Break free
Heart made of steel, knight of ordeal
Deep down
Destroy the restraints, never again
Deep down
It’s time to begin the crusade
SOLO: midori / miyako
Break free
Fight to live on, forever strong
Break free
Heart made of steel, show me what’s real
Deep down
My heartbeat and blood burning with love
Deep down
Be true to yourself and your beliefs
It’s time to get up and breath

Iron Maiden tribute. Great song by Lovebites. Asami has fantastic metal vocals on this one. This is a top 10 Lovebites song for me.
Try to imagine Bruce Dickenson singing this 😉
LOVEBITES - The Crusade lyrics (Romanian):
Mergând în umbră, cufundat în înșelăciune
În timp ce ne ascundeam agonia, prefăcându-ne un zâmbet
Apăsând pe trăgaci pentru a-mi pierde religia
Tot adevărul ajunge să fie ucis de minciuni
Dansând cu demoni, par să-mi placă
Să începem ritualul răzbunării
Apăsând pe trăgaci pentru a arde necredincioșii
A fi cel ciudat mă înnebunește
Sunt un prost deghizat
Nu ți-ai da seama niciodată
M-am regăsit în cântecul său
Unde altundeva aș aparține?
Scăpa
Luptați să trăiți, veșnic puternici
Scăpa
Inimă din oțel, arată-mi ce este real
În adâncul sufletului
Bătăile inimii și sângele îmi ard cu dragoste
În adâncul sufletului
Este timpul să începem cruciada
Dorind un răspuns, dar pierzându-mă
În timp ce îmi ascund furia în spatele zâmbetelor goale
Apăsând pe trăgaci pentru a-i pedepsi pe trădători
Toate cuvintele tale nu erau decât minciuni
Mă târâind în haos, îmi pierd respirația, spune-mi
Ce vezi prin ochii tăi sinistri?
Apăsând pe trăgaci pentru a ucide opresorii
Nu am avut de ales decât să mă ascund când am plâns
M-am regăsit în cântecul său
Unde altceva aș aparține?
Scăpa
Credeți întotdeauna, speranța este cheia
Scăpa
Inimă din oțel, cavaler al calvarului
În adâncul sufletului
Distrugeți restricțiile, niciodată
În adâncul sufletului
Este timpul să începem cruciada
Scăpa
Luptați să trăiți, veșnic puternici
Scăpa
Inimă din oțel, arată-mi ce este real
În adâncul sufletului
Bătăile inimii și sângele îmi ard cu dragoste
În adâncul sufletului
Fii fidel cu tine și credințele tale
Este timpul să vă ridicați și să respirați

That 'riph' with the following solo had such a good old skool rock/metal vibe. This was a happy crusade.
Best female metalband on earth 🤘

Lovebites have so many amazing songs in just a short time. No bad songs, just a few you like better than others..

We will want to do that one but we have a lot of pre-recorded content still coming beforehand so it will be a bit of a wait. /Andrei
@@thewindmillfullovcorpses Looking forward to your reaction when you get to it! ☺️

The first crusade would be The Crusade at least until there was another one. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It would also be The Last Crusade! /Andrei

Uhm, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you guys react to this one before? Lol I feel like you have, but maybe I'm wrong.
I mean feel free to search through our channel. I think I would have remembered. /Andrei
@@thewindmillfullovcorpses I guess it must have been a different reaction channel lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Its okay to compare them to bodom. Cause Midori is a child of bodom.
Bodom should be proud!
y’all should definitely check out “mother ov flesh” by nitheful easily one of the most evil sounding songs by one most evil sounding bands out rn
will keep it in consideration, that sounds exciting! / George
