A few years ago I really thought Rock N Roll would die out in the next 10 years. Now I am convinced that salvation is coming from the Japanese women heavy metal bands. Rejoice old rockers and metalheads of the world that there are still young people who enjoy hand-played rock and metal music. If you look at the charts in America and Europe you know what I mean.🤘 🤘

Love this band! Best metal band in the world!

Good reaction to the best metal band on the planet

You can preorder the new live material if you didn’t already 😉This song was exact the 8th song I heard from them. I had never heard of them before till a music buddy asked to join him for a concert. Who’s playing?? Some new J metal band. It was the start of their European tour just over 5 years ago in the Netherlands. A mere 1000 people. From the first second I was lost. I remember telling my friend when they slow down. You guessed it, it was at the start of song 8, this song. The best 15 euro (without the beer costs) ever spent. In over a month seeing them on their home soil !! This time a little longer then 30 minutes by train. Can’t wait to see them 🎸🤘🎸

WE ... ARE ... BACK ... GO ... 😁

I love Miyako's rhythm guitar during the first part of Midori's solo.

Hey guys. Knocking on Heaven's Gate is the new concert DVD ,scheduled to be released August 23. This is the first video they have released from that so far. Fami's live debut on bass, and she fits right in.🤘🤘 Couldn't tell she only joined in October if you didn't already know. The song is older, from their 1st album, Awakening From Abyss in 2017. Suggest , for more LOVEBITES, Break the Wall or Thunder Vengeance. Both were played at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020.

We've seen this song performed live a few times, but I think this is the highest-energy version yet.

Been a hot minute so great to see you back with Lovebites! What a performance considering they'd been on hiatus for 2yrs. They sounded so tight, but no surprise there, as that's their calling card. Too bad your mates didn't get to experience this. I recommend A Frozen Serenade live 2021 kzread.info/dash/bejne/c5ls0rOPpZC4fps.html for all four of you. After watching this, think you'll really appreciate what they do in Frozen Serenade...definitely a WOW moment. Very similar to Swan Song in that it's not a song but a MASTERFUL PERFORMANCE...and it's LIVE!! Great react!

🔥LOVEBITES🐺PERFECTION🔥 THE BEST👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is one of Lovebites' thrashier songs while still maintaining the speed, so it's primarily thrash/speed-power which the ladies have blended and made it into their own unique sound. In addition to Iron Maiden (not so much of a gallop here), I would add some early Metallica, Slayer or Anthrax vibes into the mix. BTW, "The Hammer of Wrath" is one of 18 tracks from the LIVE blue-ray/DVD LP called "Knockin' at Heaven's Gate" that'll be officially released on 23 August. The blue-ray/DVD contains the LIVE show in Tokyo back in 11 March, which was also the new bassist's (Fami's) LIVE debut with Lovebites.

Bloody Lovebites 🐺 I love'em

Thanks for reacting to Lovebites again!!!😊❤

Well, Fami is definitely a star now. Haruna is just flat out killing it!! There is a guitar in a shop Tokyo that was built by Midori, but not for sale. Midori attended a vocational school to learn to build guitar. They are better than Iron Maiden and Dragon Force plus anybody else you can think of.

I enjoy their songs, lot of energy and technically very skilled!

Lovebites has stated that Iron Maiden was a strong influence - Miho , their original bass player said so. Lovebites did tour with Dragonforce but they've never said DF was an influence. (Although personally I feel that Herman Li did influence Midori a little bit. Ever since that tour in 2019, she began adding the whammy bar squeals to some of their more recent songs - the way Herman Li does.)

I saw the premiere. Fami killing the bass. She's fitting in nicely. This song is burning up YT. I wonder how many songs will pre-released songs they will have before the release of Knockin' on Heaven's Gate on Aug 23, 2023. BTW your wife is a babe.

Soo good great singer great musicians Beautiful ladies

Bass solo's, MIHO fingering the bass, FAMI thumping the bass.....🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Guitars are: Miyako - Dean; Midori - ESP. This show was also the live premiere of the new bassist Fami! They do have a couple music videos out with Fami ["Judgement Day"; "Stand and Deliver (Shoot 'em Down)"], but this was the first live performance for Fami, filmed just this past March. I could just feel her excitement, with her nonstop beaming grin! Also love Asami's epic intro words: "WE ... ARE ... BAAAACK!"

M&M super shredder. Fami was fit to blast. Haruna powerfull slam and fast drumming more crisp now. Asami's higher note seems easy now.. imo

With respect, more accurately, bassist Fami turned 21 June 1st, her first ever performance in front of a LIVE audience (!) A former KZreadr only. Drummer Haruna about 30, considering what age she began playing (13) and year she entered professional band membership & performance. (Destrose) Miyako, guitar & piano, 33 April 5th; Midori, guitar & fitness, 35 May 28th. Asami (aka Awesami & Asamni* &:-) is Ageless (!) Yes, they are quite talented, composition, lyrics, arrangement & performance. Quite friendly & down-to-Earth on social media too. Looking forward to meeting them in person !

What‘s the definition of a metal singer? There many different kinds of vocalists. And not everyone is a „singer“. Also Asami is definitely not the kawaii type!

@@stand.and.deliver.5 They certainly fit the classic definition of kawaii with their current singer. Yes, lots of different types of vocalists just as there are lots of different types of metal.
