    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

    This songs really ticks all the boxes for me, love it. Lovebites became my favorite band in early 2022 when I heard they lost their bassist & founding member Miho, I really fell in love with their sound and song writing abilities. Since they found the new Bassist Fami, They are on an amazing journey to reclaim their Heavy Metal dominance. This band Brings a wide variety of Heavy Metal genre to the world and each song is unique and fun to discover. Also they are like an old school re imagined Iron Maiden/Judas priest with plenty of classical Metal influences combined with classical music in their melodies and guitar chords. They will be recognized as one of the greatest bands today eventually/soon.

    About the dresses, a French metal mag interviewed Asami (singer) and she told them, "We're all girls, we don't want to dress like boys. Also, we're all small and the white makes it easier to see us." And the are SMOL! Haruna (drums) is 4' 9" and Asami is not much taller. Midori (Blond guitarist) is between 4' 10-11" and Miyako (other guitarist) and Fami (bass) are around 5' 2".
    This was Fam's first concert with the band and this was the first song of the concert and you can see Asami giving Fami encouraging looks throughout the song.
    A little background for the members.
    Midori "Crazy Shredder" started working out during Covid and has become a competitive bodybuilder in Japan in addition to being a great guitarist, which she started playing in highschool.
    Miyako "The Golden Touch" was studying concert piano from age 3 and taught herself how to play the guitar in highschool, she has released a solo album of her on piano and is the mother of two kids.
    Asami "The One and Only Voice" studied ballet for many years before becoming a singer, she did mostly R&B and even came to America to study. She had never sung Metal before auditioning for Lovebites.
    Haruna "Little Big Engine" formed the band with Miho "Natural Born Headbanger" (former bassist, more later) from when they both left their former band Destrose.
    Miho left the band, amicably, in 2021 after her father passed away. She is back playing but is doing her own thing now. With her departure Lovebites had a worldwide audition to find a new bassist, ultimately finding Fami. Lovebites then recorded a new album with her and the rest is history.

    The band, formed in 2016, is named after the Grammy winning song Love Bites (So DO I) by Halestorm. Lead singer , Asami, joined Lzzy at Download 2019 to perform that song.
    Miyako and Midori(blond pony tail) on guitar are IMO 2 of the best today. Haruna is a beast on drums. New bassist Fami is seen here , she joined last October after original bassist and band co founder ,Miho, left in 2021. Knocking on Heaven's Gate is the DVD released last month, it's the 2023 comeback concert after 2 years off stage ( restrictions and Miho leaving) , Fami's live debut.
    Asami will say in a live show "We are LOVEBITES, and we play heavy metal". Some songs lean towards thrash, like this , "Thunder Vengeance" and "Break the Wall". Some, like "Holy War", lean towards power metal. this is an older song, from their 1st album, Awaken From Abyss, in 2017. Another band that is great live. 4 albums and several EP's, 60+ songs to choose from.

    Band activities became active in Japan about half a century ago when the Beatles came to Japan. Today, there are more than 100 female bands alone. To become famous among them, they first needed to stand out, and they chose white stage costumes.
    Of course, "white" is taboo in the Japanese metal scene, and there was a risk of not being accepted and being isolated, but they dared to choose white feminine costumes, saying, "We don't mind if we are in the position of a lone wolf. And he made the wolf the symbol of the band.
    Those who were bitten by the LOVEBITES also began to call themselves the Wolf Pack.

    Nice reaction! Harmonizing duos, plus one playing lead while other plays rhythm are two reasons i can think of right away why a band would have two guitarists. Iron Maiden has three guitarists! Lovebites Midori (blond ponytail) and Miyako are two of the best dual guitarists I've heard, and The Hammer of Wrath is my favorite song of all time. For a different sound from them, try the live versions of Nameless Warrior (faster but goes a bit softer), and Liar. Always nice to see people trying out new musical genres. I actually got into metal relatively late in life, so I'm kind of a newbie too.😊

    Your reaction to these girls is very common. Love it! Lovebites is hands down one of the best metal bands in the world. Asami (Lead Vocalist) is generally interpreted as having an "operatic style" voice, which is unheard of in heavy metal as far as I know. It is more apparent in some of their other songs. I didn't see any BabyMetal on your channel though. Now if you were entertained by the juxtaposition of this band, prepare yourself for a "WTF" moment when you watch BabyMetal. Here is their most viewed video at only 182 Mil views...lol 2.8 Mil subs " BABYMETAL - ギミチョコ!!- Gimme chocolate!! (OFFICIAL) " ua-cam.com/video/WIKqgE4BwAY/v-deo.html They have actually been credited by Wikipedia as having created their own genre called "Kawaii Metal". Kawai = Cute. I'll leave it at that. I thought hardcore metalheads would hate this, but everyone loves them, even the hardest of hard core. Almost all of their songs have "dueling guitar" moments. They play back and forth normally ending in an awesome harmony.

    Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Lovebites is one of the best bands in our country. Their live performance is much better than MVs. 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 😄

    These ladies are world class musicians. They play the current standard of Metal. *Not 1 bad or weak song* on 4 consecutive studio albums. What a balance.
    To me, "Nemophila" (also all-female Japanese Metal band) are on the same excellent level, technically. Lovebites maybe are rather "arty", Nemophila are rather "punky", but it pays off to have a look on both. I strongly recommend "Seize the fate" *live* from Nemophila.

Most metal bands do have two guitarists but I doubt the majority have two lead guitarists and very few have two lead guitarists at the level of Lovebites. BTW, congratulations for discovering Lovebites and Jinjer on the same day. I recently saw Jinjer live (on the rail no less) and they were absolutely amazing. Similarly to discovering two of the best guitarists in the world with Lovebites, you discovered one of the best, if not the best, metal vocalists in Tatiana Shmayluk of Jinjer.
