The piano intro was the first 14 measures of "Moments Musicaux Opus 16 No. 4" by the Romantic era composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, and it was performed by the lead guitarist (Miyako) on stage left who is also a classically-trained pianist since the age of 3. She also composed and arranged "Empty Daydream".

Next Lovebites song: "Break The Wall" Live! 🤘

Lovebites is from Japan, they formed in 2016 and released their first album in 2017. In August 2021, Miho, their founding member and bass player, decided to leave the band for personal reasons despite efforts to keep her in the band. So Lovebites was on hiatus for about a year. They hired Fami to be their new bass player in October 2022, very recently. Fami is a 20 year old phenom, whole the other members are age 30-33ish. They are one of the rare Japanese metal bands who sing in all English.

Lovebites formed in 2016 by (now ex) bass player and drummer (not that typical start)

Here for my daily Lovebites fix 🐺

Wow, your first intro to Lovebites? Congratulations, you just found the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their first five years of existence, they put themselves on par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. They recently went on a year-and-a half hiatus while they searched for a new bassist. 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. Some background:

One of my favorites, so catchy! These ladies are F phenomenal. I grew up listening to 80s thrash / Power metal and the Torch has been passed. LOVEBITES, Goddesses in white, slaying heavy metal since 2016. And that beginning was improvised, and yes, it's a classical bit. Someone will comment on it. These ladies are talented beyond belief! Keep going, you'll see! Great suggestion! 🤘

Lovebites is one of the most musically talented metal bands on earth. You should definitley check out some more of their songs.

Thanks for the reaction! LOVEBITES are the GODDESSES of heavy metal ! In 2018 , LOVEBITES won the prestigious Metal Hammer GOLDEN GODS Award for "Best New Band" (London,UK). The winners of the GOLDEN GODS Award in different years and in various categories were such famous bands and musicians,such as: BLACK SABBATH, IRON MAIDEN, MOTöRHEAD, JUDAS PRIEST, TWISTED SISTER, OZZY OSBOURNE, LEMMY KILMISTER, ZAKK WYLDE, NIKKI SIXX, JOE PERRY, ANTHRAX, SLAYER, TESTAMENT, SAXON, NIGHTWISH, TRIVIUM, RAMMSTEIN, SABATON, CHILDREN OF BODOM, ARCH ENEMY, MACHINE HEAD (and this is not a complete list).

LOVEBITES - Empty Daydream lyrics:

The main riff in this song is very Iron Maiden like. But, this is a very light song for Lovebites. Most of their music is very hard, thrash and power metal. If you want an example of this listen to Break the Wall or Hammer of Wrath. Other very good hard rock type songs are Raise Some Hell or their newest Stand and Deliver.

Beautiful vocals and always happy to see women kick butt in metal. Definitely recognized the piano piece at the opening but not sure what it is either. Never heard of this band and I’m actually surprised I haven’t cause like Dan said, they bring to mind Nightwish and I noticed many mentions they are the Goddesses of Metal in the comments.

Interesting reaction..i enjoyed that..hope you do lovebites more..epilogue is slower than this one,and the rest are banger..holy war,shadowmaker,raise some hell,break the wall or from their latest album judgement day..

🐺🤘LOVEBITES 🤘🐺 the team of five thrashpower metal godesses.

LOVEBITES 🐺 INCREDIBLE

You might have recognised the piano opening if you're a fan of classical music. It's a piece by the Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943).... Moment Musicaux Opus 16 No 4. (There are 6 of these "moments" in the piece... this was the fourth one). In common with many Japanese musicians the ladies of Lovebites are classically trained from a young age and Lovebites frequently incorporates classical pieces into their songs. In particular the lady on piano and guitar, Miyako, is a musical prodigy who started playing the piano at the age of three and is the major songwriter for the band. This band is something very special and I envy you that you have just discovered them for you have an exciting musical journey in front of you.

Oh Lovebites will bang their heads on their heavier songs, of which they have a lot of. It feels odd to start on one of their slowest and softer songs because 90% of their catalog is heavier than this. Miyako is a virtuoso on both the piano and guitar, you'll see what I mean once you see more of their songs. Lovebites won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band.

Lovers of guitar harmonies, Lovebites is here for you! Just a few song examples: Signs of Deliverance, We the United, Shadowmaker, Set the World on Fire.

Here for LOVEBITES. Why? Because I love them to bits.

More than 50 of their 60 songs have a guitar-harmony-duet.
