LOVEBITES - Judgement Day lyrics: Never live, never die, never end, nowhere to go Every night, everywhere, everything arriving in darkness What is right, what is wrong, what is sin, who's to decide? Hide and seek, truth or dare, playing tag, chased by the Evil Another back and forth of gaining and losing Running out of my time, each tick of the clock's taking down piece of my life again Who's allied, who's against, who's to pay, I'll wait it out Up and down, in and out, left or right, answers are nowhere What do you see in this world full of insanity? When do we come to ask what's awaiting us, don't look away! This is the truth RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY! LIFE, GIVEN THE FOREVERNESS RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY! LIFE, LIVING EVERY STORY Travelling in the past, find salvation Now with the great will, the path lay in front of me Starting here, this is the day! Never live, never die, never end, nowhere to go Every night, everywhere, everything arriving in darkness What do you see in this world full of insanity? When do we come to ask what's awaiting us, don't look away! This is the truth! RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY! LIFE, GIVEN THE FOREVERNESS RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY! LIFE, LIVING EVERY STORY Travelling in the past, find salvation Now with the great will, the path lay in front of me Starting here, this is the day! Judgement day! Judgement day! Judgement day! Judgement day! ----- lyrics: asami music: asami & Mao arrangement: ? (LOVEBITES) from CD "Judgement Day" 2023

The Wolfpack will be coming to you!! Nice reaction - you have a new subscriber. You mention the bass which is important. Lovebites just came off of hiatus. The original bassist and co-founder of the band, Miho, left a little over a year ago. They had bass auditions, and Fami was her choice. She has her own KZbin Channel which 667k subscribers. Check out her Alien cover. Her slapping and tapping and more modern style adds more depth than the old school heavy metal style playing of Miho. You should check out some of their older content. They are a blend of power/speed/thrash/heavy metal. As this is the first track from Lovebites 2.0: Fami is an awesome addition to this band on bass, period. Asami's voice is the best yet for her. Midori, The Shredded Shredder with the guns for arms (she also competes in body fitness competitions) with the cool hairstyle is a pure shredder. Haruna, the drummer, showed off her best cymbal and china work to date. Miyako, the long black haired guitarist, is simply a genius. She is a virtuoso on guitar and piano, and she has composed around 50% of Lovebites tracks. Miyako & Midori in my opinion are the best dual leads going today, if not ever. This entire band might as well be a super group. A few song suggestions to react to (not sure if it was the one suggested to you, maybe that was Holy War?): Pure thrash - Break the Wall, live Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4HGYYuBZdGBo7c Miyako's genius on piano - Swan Song from the same concert - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXPLpaSdnr14d5Y Controlled chaos, a music video of the song that opens 6 of 12 episodes of the anime VLAD LOVE - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXPLpaSdnr14d5Y My favorite song before Judgement Day arrived, The Awakening/The Hammer of Wrath, thrash but a little different - awesome riff (as most of their songs have). From same concert as others, opening of encore set - kzbin.info/www/bejne/paWti4OLeNysha8

[@dannyleftridgemusic]

HOLY WAR! That was it! Hopefully the wolf pack doesn’t eat me alive! I’m going to have to check out Fami’s channel because GOT DAMN she was slaying on the bass!

[@CDMS_pt]

My favourite band.

[@dannyleftridgemusic]

They're climbing my list quickly!

[@daverboy]

Their live videos are an absolute must. They play at the same level, including harmonized guitar solos, and playing in stilletos.

[@dannyleftridgemusic]

I don’t know how they do it in those shoes haha! It’s amazing to watch! So much talent!

[@oliphant2848]

Asami (the singer) has said that the video is about the fight against your own inner demons. Remember the mirror that she destroyed with the sword? That means, I think: don't enshrine bad things that have happened to you like in a picture frame, but smash fossilized memories that encumber you. However, at the end of the video she's on the run again, and I guess that means the fight never stops and there's always one more inner demon to slay.

[@dannyleftridgemusic]

The fight within ourselves can sometimes be the hardest fights. I love the idea and it was expressed really well in the video I think. Lots of great symbolism in this video for sure!

[@kielanuar213]

Phenomenal band. Epic. Yes, each of all their songs in the previous album were soo..damn good (50's of 'em). Shadowmaker, When Destiny Align, Break The Wall, Hammer of Wrath, The Crusade, and many more

[@alekhidell]

The bassist is not the same person as the one you will already have checked out. The founding member, bassist, left over a year ago. 20 year old Fami went through a 3 stage audition process and was announced as bassist in October. She has a KZbin page of the same name and I seriously suggest you check it out. This band is that good all the time. No deviation. Please ask your local radio station to play this. And they have a second song from the forthcoming Judgement Day album dropping on the 11th (Japan). Audio only. It’s called “The Spirit Lives On”. It was previewed in an interview Fami did on rock radio in Japan today, “Coming of age day” in Japan. If the world has any sanity remaining these women will be household names…at least among metalheads. Yet they remain relatively obscure. The fan base (The Wolf Pack, so named because the band has had a Wolf on the cover of every release) are tireless in their desire to make that happen. As you will soon discover.

[@dannyleftridgemusic]

I wish we had a radio station anywhere near me that would play amazing music like this! But, I agree, they should be household names in the metal world! And for Fami to be her age and destroying the bass that way is insanely impressive! Good for her!

[@davidhersrud5139]

They are releasing a second single within next couple days called THE SPIRIT LIVES ON! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Lovebites is one of the best bands in our country. The ladies are better in live performance. 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. The new bassist in this video is only 20-year-old😱 ) Please explore J-rock bands from now on. There are many, Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄

[@dannyleftridgemusic]

I've heard "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music" quote before. I've seen numerous performances from artists who filmed there. Two of my favorites being G3 Live in Tokyo and Dream Theater Live at Budokan! I will absolutely being exploring more J-rock bands. Thank you so much!

[@hiawatha.g]

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 and dropped their first song, “Judgement Day” on December 22. Some background: They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and founder of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the great European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other groups. The four of them then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she was also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed a little more than half of their music, with Miho composing a lot of their thrashier songs in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer. Midori has also been getting into the act, and they regularly perform a song written by Haruna as well. Asami writes most of the lyrics, and cowrote the music for “Judgement Day” with Mao. In mid-2020, Miho left the band she had founded, for personal reasons. They recently announced their new bassist, Fami, who is a young phenom and herself a composer and multi-instrumentalist. The instrumentalists studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and have created a sound that is fresh and cutting edge while paying tribute to the old masters. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance was that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash. Almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel (though she can also shred like crazy). Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. It doesn’t hurt that either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band." Their first song with Fami is “Judgement Day” kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2TYeJ2mYrVqeqs Here are more clips you should check out: “Set the World on Fire” kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2rdpHtsnqySbMU from their 2021 concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”. “Don’t Bite the Dust” kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXnRfHp7n5Z2g8U, from the same concert; "Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ2TXohjrtB9ebc They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope. Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oonLkKiDgp5noLc; “Holy War”: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJikqaN7paqWpNE Miyako is also a virtuoso concert pianist, and was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. If you want to see what she can do on the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude” (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXPLpaSdnr14d5Y. For a thrasher with heavy Slayer and Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWGVYpSGZ8aibLs includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M. For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6rRn4t6m6qhpLs (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both) Finally, while you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are four of the most spectacular: "Shadowmaker" kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKPQoJ-kaqyrq9U This is the song that blew up and melted faces all over the world "When Destinies Align" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn2plp9_bpiJoa8 "Glory to the World" kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6itpXdojaqLfpY "Winds of Transylvania" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqSoZYiYlLWdnpo. You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!

Midori, the ripped blonde guitarist, is playing too different ESP E-II Horizon guitars. I believe the one she's playing when she's cloaked is her black one, but the one she's playing when she's wearing white is a new-to-me paint job. Her usual Horizon has the "reindeer blue" color scheme. She has a handful of other guitars, but the electrics she's played with LOVEBITES have all been ESPs. When LOVEBITES started out, she was often seen playing a gorgeous white FRX, but she stopped using that right around when the second album was released. On the song "Winds of Transylvania," she plays an ESP Arrow with a custom paint job (I love that guitar as I have an Arrow as well).

Fami has a totally different sound than the original bassist and co founder of the band Miho. This is Fami's debut. For a metal comparison Miho's sound was more like Ian Hill of Judas Priest and Fami is more akin to Markus Grosskopf of Helloween. Radical change in the band sound between the 2. If you listen to more of their stuff take note of how much of a bad azz player Haruna the drummer is. Like a return of Keith Moon

@@dannyleftridgemusic Same with me. Even if they play subgenres I otherwise don't care much about, I love what they do. It seems they are capable of bringing fans of different subgenres together. I have read more than once people saying that they usually don't like Thrash Metal, but that they love Lovebites' Thrash Metal songs. In my case, it's a bit the other way round. I'm not a huge Power Metal fan (not that I dislike it, but there are only very few albums I really love), but I love the Power Metal songs by Lovebites. I've been listening to metal since 1984 and for me, Lovebites have taken the best of different "old school" metal subgenres to the next level.

[@dannyleftridgemusic]

They definitely bring the old school back in an incredibly tasteful and modern way!

I hear that Judgement Day unseated Metallica from the number 1 spot on a Japanese top hits charts.😊

[@Jmaveryk]

Dont you think that Lovebites do only power metal, some of the bests songs of this band are violent thrash metal!

[@mmcpa]

I had somebody respond to a comment I made on a reaction video to Break the Wall. I said the song was pure thrash, and was told I was nuts, it isn't thrash, and I should go listen to Nemophila if I want thrash.

[@MissLoonasSpeech]

@@mmcpa Sounds like a promising nominee for "most clueless comment of the year" to me!

[@dannyleftridgemusic]

Oh no, they definitely do not do just power metal stuff! I listened to their last album today in it’s entirety and the range of music and styles of metal was amazing!

[@Jmaveryk]

@@mmcpa Nemophila is very good but they dont play Thrash songs, is more like metalcore and some other styles. Break the wall is pure classic thrash, some people dont know what is thrash metal and think that every metal with screams are thrash.

[@HellR4W]

The real challenge, try to find a bad lovebites song!

[@dannyleftridgemusic]

😂😂😂 I have a feeling you’re right! I bet that would be quite the task!

[@fotografo4295]

wtf you ruined the chance to get a genuine reaction going blind to it by checking the band beforehand. Not knowing anything about them and then watching this could have been the best reaction ever. Bummer.

[@dannyleftridgemusic]

That’s true. It’s hard to not listen to music other people are excited about in my holiday down time lol. I’m always looking for new, kick ass music!

[@garykeeling2275]

@@dannyleftridgemusic I have to agree with fotrografo 42, although the reaction was still a good one. For future reference, what your audience craves is a true, legitimate first-time reaction. If you're doing a reaction to a band you've never heard before, make it a true first-time reaction. Don't look them up on Google, don't listen to even a 5-second clip beforehand. Your audience wants to see genuine surprise from a reactor going in blind, (the audience is vicariously reliving their own pleasure of their first time every hearing the band). That moment is unfortunately lost with Lovebites now, but you can still capture it with other bands, especially bands like Lovebites that do bring a "surprise" element to the table. The Japanese scene is bursting with bands like that. If and when you react to any of the following: Nemophila, Band-Maid, Aldious, Fate Gear, Hanabie, Babymetal, Lady Baby, Wagakki Band, Unlucky Morpheus ... go out of your way to make the reaction as blind as possible. Each of these bands brings something entirely different and unique, and your audience will be delighted to see you experience them for the first time. With any new band, you can only experience them for the first time once. It's one thing if you're not planning to react to them, but if you are, try to make your reaction video the actual first time!

[@dannyleftridgemusic]

Noted! I will be sure to capture my first time hearing any of these bands. Any video they have out you would suggest?
