This was with Miho (the founder and original bassist) who left for personal reasons in 2021. Miho plays the 4 string ESP bass and is a big Steve Harris fanatic. She is rumored to have over 500+ metal tees in her collection. This was one of the few songs that she got some real shine time but make no mistake there is no Lovebites without her. This band is her vision for a more European influenced Japanese metal band that sings in English. The Wolfpack adores her and she will always be appreciated for her efforts that put this group together and drove them to the level of excellence especially LIVE. She left after the Ride for Vengeance Tour shows in 2021. BTW this was their encore after playing a complete set (3 songs that were played led by this offering).
The Awakening was always just an instrumental song they used to open their shows with, on the most recent Blu ray "KNOCKIN’ AT HEAVEN’S GATE" they played the guitars & drums portion live.
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 album: Awakening From Abyss 10/25/2017
"The Awakening" is the instrumental intro before the actual song itself - "The Hammer of Wrath". Since this concert was held back in 2020, previous bassist Miho was in this video, not Fami (Fami only joined the band in 2022).

This is The Hammer Of Wrath with the Awakening intro. I love the audience chant during the intro. Miho on bass and with that Steve Harris guitar tone (she is a big fan). The newer version has Fami on bass, it is worth reacting to that one too, it's awesome. Bang your head! 🤘🐺🤘
As other posters have said...I think it would be fun to compare and watch this live video with the "KNOCKIN' AT HEAVEN'S GATE" live video. You can enjoy the difference in the way Miho and Fami produce sounds. Also, for those interested in live audio (recording) technology, it would be very interesting to compare the way Haruna's drums sound in both shows. ---------- from Nippon *This is a text using Google Translate.

Who ever requested this did not explain it correctly, Lovebites and the show did not deceive you it is that way on the debut album, the intro and then the song (The Awakening, Hammer of Wrath), it is how they used it on their encore of 3 songs, they even used as an opener on a different show.
🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🐺❤️🔥🇯🇵🇮🇹 This is my absolute favourite song and this concert is the best ever for now, the bassist is Miho the founder of the band!

🤘 The girls are always on top !!!
The track was ' The Awakening " which was used as a concert intro in this case - the song they played was " The Hammer Of Wrath "
thats the video and first song i listen from them and become a fan.........they have a special place in my heart.......

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]

This is from Zepp Diver City Tokyo in 2020 and the DVD album is Five Of A Kind.
The Awakening (instr.) / The Hammer Of Wrath (first Encore song, #16 and #17/19), Five Of A Kind, Zepp DiverCity, Tokyo, 2020.
The “Awakening” intro and then “The hammer of wrath”.
LOVEBITES - The Awakening (instrumental)
music: miyako
I believe The Awakening is the intro for "The Hammer" of Wrath at this concert..Nothing decieving...lol.. btw that's Miho on bass..
The Awaking is typically the instrumental intro for Hammer of Wrath. You might want to change your description line to "The Awaking Hammer of Wrath"
Who ever requested this did not explain it correctly, Lovebites and the show did not deceive you it is that way on the debut album, the intro and then the song (The Awakening, Hammer of Wrath), it is how they used it on their encore of 3 songs, they even used as an opener on a different show.
Fantastic! If you get a chance "Above the black Sea" live at the MyNavi Blitz. One of my LB songs, underrated. 🏴🤘🐺
🤘🤘🤘🤘
This song is always in my top 5 LOVEBITES songs. I think I slightly prefer this version over the "Knocking on Heaven's Gate" version ... sorry Fami.
Next LOVEBITES song: “Above the Black Sea” Live! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🤘
