    No overdubbing. This is how Lovebites sound/play live, flawlessly. They wear 4 inch high heels, not so easy run around and jump, especially when playing sixteenth note riffs.

    LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics:
    Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood
    People live in fear, covered in mud
    Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy
    We are the metal warriors
    Fighting the darkness for sisters
    There is a thousand, a thousand of evils
    Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils
    Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
    We are the metal warriors
    Fighting the darkness for brothers
    Shining blade and burning heart
    Into the Gates of Hell we march
    Immortal soul, let there be light
    Into the Eye of Heaven
    Eagles at a holy war
    Fly higher than the sun
    We are one for all and all for one forevermore
    Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall
    Reincarnation, wait for your call
    Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy
    We are the metal warriors
    Fighting the darkness for sisters
    Morning star and dying moon
    Into the Gates of Hell we march
    Mighty soul, let there be hope
    Into the Eye of Heaven
    Eagles at a holy war
    Fly higher than the sun
    Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal
    What do we live for?What do we fight for, tonight?
    But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
    Only have one thing on our mind
    Facing the fate, holy war
    Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
    We are the metal warriors
    Fighting the darkness for brothers
    Shining blade and burning heart
    Into the Gates of Hell we march
    Immortal soul, let there be light
    Into the Eye of Heaven
    Eagles at a holy war
    Fly higher than the sun
    We are one for all and for one forevermore
    What do we live for?What do we fight for, tonight?
    But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
    Only have one thing on our mind
    Facing the fate, holy war

    LOVEBITES is a relatively new metal band formed by leader Miho (base) in 2016 and made a major debut in 2017. Before the pandemic, they mainly performed live in Japan / UK / EU. They have already performed at major metal festivals around the world, including WACKEN OPEN AIR 2018, and in 2019, at the invitation of Herman Li, took part in the DragonForce UK tour. They are an adult female metal band with 80's metal & classical music DNA and R & B / soul voice.
    They define themselves as lone wolves fighting metal stereotypes and have wolves as their trademark.

    The concert this performance was taken from was actually held on February 21st 2020, so right before the pandemic truly took off. Also I don't see why people wouldn't take them seriously. They paid to see them, after all lol. Lovebites have quickly garnered a lot of attention and praise in Japan, but also in the West. They have played at several European music festivals and toured the UK with DragonForce, as already mentioned. They have yet to perform in the US though.
    There are several songs where they are moving around a lot more and just having fun on stage. Holy War was the second song they performed that day, so still early on in the concert.
    Lovebites also play many different styles of metal. They are a lot more versatile than you seem to realize. Power metal, thrash metal, speed metal, some of their songs have more of a hard rock feeling to them, they have beautiful ballads, some pretty proggy songs, they incorporate the piano, keyboard and even an acoustic guitar into their songs ... No point in comparing them to Babymetal, as Lovebites play their own instruments and compose their own songs. They are the real deal.

    Lovebites is one of my fave metal bands, combining power metal, thrash metal and prog metal. Don't know what you're into (maybe metal core, death metal). I'm a hard rock guy at heart so I'll recommend Band-Maid. Another band that will challenge your preconception of serious music. Some songs to check out: "Warning" (punk metal); "Different" (prog punk); "No God" (Motorhead-style prog funk rock); "Manners" (groovy hard rock); "Rinne" (classic metal); and "Domination" (live) a rmetallish-hard rock song with the ladies running around on stage.

    They are on hiatus because their bassist left on Aug 17 due to personal reasons so the band was forced to go on hiatus until they can find a replacement, they said they would definitely be back. They did tour with DragonForce in 2019 but have not been to the USA yet. In interviews they said they definitely want to but now need to wait for covid travel restrictions to be removed. They have performed at Wacken Open Air and Bloodstock in 2018. They won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band.

    These women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile great musicians. They really shine in their live performances. They have influences from Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Angra, Helloween, Judas Priest, Dragonforce and even Gary Moore, but they have been developing their own unique style. I recommend you to react to songs from the concerts “Daughters of the dawn” (Tokyo, 2019), “Wacken Open Air” (Germany, 2018), “Five of a kind, Zepp Divercity, Tokyo, 2020), “Awakening the abyss” (live studio, Japan 2020) and “Ride for vengeance/ Heavy metal never dies” (Tokyo, 2021). Avoid “Bloodstock” (bad audio). Lineup:
    Haruna - Drums
    Miho - Bas, backing vocals (she just left the band)
    Midori - Lead & rhythm guitar, backing vocals
    Miyako - Lead & rhythm guitar, keyboards, classical piano, backing vocals
    Asami - Lead vocals, some piano

Take any title of the live concerts 2019/2020/2021 in Tokyo it is always of top level. After one likes or not this style of music. I heard you mention Slayer. A title which has the musical color of this group is "break the wall" I advise it to you for the next reaction. It's a pity that you didn't start well in the first reaction. No problem. You can do this song "set the world on fire" again in the live version 2021, it is worth it.

    Flawless and Running around can't coexist. Running and jumping around there would be no way they could play this well, I think they chose to give their fans the best of what they have to offer. For example, Dragonforce, while extremely talented and very very technical, do not put the same level of effort into their live shows. I have seen DF twice and they sounded like hot ass and cheese, I remember how fucking bummed I was after seeing them. I saw Metallica in 1998 and my god it was a show and a half, but even Metallica doesn't move around much compared to other bands, sure they power stance and walk around a bit, but they are playing fast intricate metal, part of the reason they became so successful was due to how well they played live.

    Congratulations! You guys have just discovered, arguably, the best heavy metal band in the world. Yes, they have toured with Dragonforce as an opening act. But right now the roles would be reversed. There are no bad Lovebites songs but this isn't even one of their best ones. One of the guitarists, Miyako, is a world class concert pianist. No, they have not toured in the U.S. but they have been to England and Germany. If you want to see a guitar duel for the ages between Midori and Miyako, then check their performance of Scream for Me. Just don't listen to any of the Bloodstock footage, the sound engineers fucked it up completely. Do another Lovebites reaction and you'll earn another subscription.😁👍
