Glory, glory to THIS EP!!! [Lovebites - DYSTOPIA SYMPHONY] First time REACTION!

[@franke6359]

Beethoven would be proud of Miako 😀 there is a lot in this tune. See them in Lindau soon 😃

[@jonasw3945]

I mean she just put moonlight sonata in there, nothing exceptional, I like better the odd time signature part they had, it was actually the more interesting part of the song, sadly it didn't last long

[@gunsogiroro4964]

This song is one of my top favorites among LOVEBITES' tracks. The melody of the chorus, in particular, gives me a sense of nostalgia while also having an incredible driving force that elevates my spirits. I can't help but deeply appreciate MIYAKO's boundless talent. I haven't heard it live yet, but I hope they perform it at the Tokyo live concert in September.

And now, "No time to hesitate"...

[@react-o-mat]

Already did that last week 😉

[@aldomattera2043]

@@react-o-mat I had no doubt :)

[@1970Phoenix]

This song is amazing.

[@gatograto]

Great reaction. This is one of my favorite Lovebites. This piece is inspired by Beethoven Piano Grand Sonate Pathetique.

[@RichZee777]

Excellent, This is one of their most hidden special secret gems, I love every second of the song. Hopefully one day someone can put together a concert with strings and classical style production and do this whole EP. I fell bad for all the people who only know lovebites for their more popular videos and they have know idea how much treasure is left to discover.

[@marting.h.9417]

Another hidden gem by amazing Lovebites.

This was my fav Lovebites song until "Soldier Stands Solitarily" came along. To me, "Dystopia Symphony" is a seamless and very innovative blend of prog/neoclassical metal/speed-power metal/and a bit of thrash thrown in. This track exemplifies the compositional & arrangement prowess of Miyako. She composed this song as a tribute to Beethoven when the maestro was coming to terms with his hearing loss. In this track, you can clearly hear the Beethoven motifs from the 3rd movement of "Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 27, No. 2" (aka "Moonlight Sonata") and "Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13" (aka "Sonata Pathétique"). They haven't had the opportunity to play this track LIVE yet because of their hiatus and the pandemic, but I hope they will in their upcoming world tour.

[@patriksjoholm7102]

I'm pretty sure there's some Edvard Grieg in there as well. The part at the 3 minute mark sounds a lot like "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" from the "Peer Gynt Suites".

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@JFrancoDrums]

This is one of my top favorites from Lovebites! So much going on in this song not just playing-wise but also the writing is excellent!! 🔥 Love it when they do these longer, slightly more progressive songs! They nail it!! 🤘🐺

[@Patrick_H.]

🔥🔥 God Damn - This shows what happens when a 'real' classical composer creates 'Symphonic Metal'. Speaking as a musician and a songwriter, this is Spectacular.

LOVEBITES - Dystopia Symphony lyrics: Like it's an end of world Making me fall apart Pushing me to the edge of the darkness Taking my breath away, and now it taking away my emotion Why was I the one He chosen Hear me cry when I'm running away from the storm It's almost right behind me The shade of moon above, wandering high in sky Following everywhere in a silence The shower of the light melting into the sleeping deep night Lost in maze, it's all I hear now Echo in my mind from far away Wish to hold it in my heart to feel the love Sadness, madness, edginess, and sense of loss Breaking through tragedy, somewhere There is much more to see beyond I stand to face bravely God, Heavenly light Shining in deep beneath Bringing a life to crystal bloom Heavenly bless Lay me in peace with this melody SOLO: midori / miyako / both Like it's an end of world Making me fall apart Pushing me to the edge of the darkness Taking my breath away, and now it taking away my emotion Why was I the one He chosen Hear me cry when I'm running away from the storm It's almost right behind me Sadness, madness, edginess, and sense of loss Breaking through tragedy, somewhere There is much more to see beyond I stand to face bravely God, Heavenly light Shining in deep beneath Bringing a life to crystal bloom Heavenly bless Lay me in peace with this melody Heavenly light Shining in deep beneath Bringing a life to crystal bloom Heavenly bless Lay me in peace with this melody ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao album: Glory, Glory To The World EP 03/10/2021

[@Random-221]

My favorite from this album. Symphonic Progressive Metal to my ears. That middle “uneasy feeling” breakdown with the guitar solo is in 10/4 time signature in minor key. Lots of other classical references here too. Nice review thanks.

[@ericdarlington2332]

❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🐺

[@rodhamm8484]

LOVEBITES show that they can do it all, the thrash metal is my favorite, but when they do a song like this that is so good, I like it just as much. 🎹🎸🥁🎤🤘

LOVEBITES - Dystopia Symphony lyrics (German): Als wäre es ein Weltuntergang Lass mich auseinanderfallen Bringt mich an den Rand der Dunkelheit Es raubt mir den Atem und jetzt raubt es mir auch die Emotionen Warum war ich derjenige, den er auserwählt hat? Hör mich weinen, wenn ich vor dem Sturm davonlaufe Es ist fast direkt hinter mir Der Schatten des Mondes oben wandert hoch am Himmel Schweigend überallhin folgen Der Lichtregen verschmilzt mit der schlafenden, tiefen Nacht Verloren im Labyrinth, das ist alles, was ich jetzt höre Echo in meinem Kopf aus der Ferne Ich möchte es in meinem Herzen behalten, um die Liebe zu spüren Traurigkeit, Wahnsinn, Nervosität und Verlustgefühl Irgendwo eine Tragödie durchbrechen Darüber hinaus gibt es noch viel mehr zu sehen Ich stehe dem mutig gegenüber Gott, himmlisches Licht Tief unten scheint es Der Kristallblüte Leben einhauchen Himmlischer Segen Beruhige mich mit dieser Melodie SOLO: Midori / Miyako / beides Als wäre es ein Weltuntergang Lass mich auseinanderfallen Bringt mich an den Rand der Dunkelheit Es raubt mir den Atem und jetzt raubt es mir auch die Gefühle Warum war ich derjenige, den er auserwählt hat? Hör mich weinen, wenn ich renne weg vom Sturm Es ist fast direkt hinter mir Traurigkeit, Wahnsinn, Nervosität und Verlustgefühl Irgendwo eine Tragödie durchbrechen Darüber hinaus gibt es noch viel mehr zu sehen Ich stehe dem mutig gegenüber Gott, himmlisches Licht Tief unten scheint es Der Kristallblüte Leben einhauchen Himmlischer Segen Beruhige mich mit dieser Melodie Himmlisches Licht Tief unten scheint es Der Kristallblüte Leben einhauchen Himmlischer Segen Beruhige mich mit dieser Melodie -----

[@mmcpa]

It's simply an amazing song and a song that truly highlights the brilliance of Miyako.

[@Celion27200]

This song is my favourite, not only from this EP. It's definitely my favourite from Lovebites. Happy tou finally listened to it.

[@ВалентинДанилович-ч4д]

💯👍

[@lianshadowmaker7834]

PROG AT ITS FINEST!

[@VRsMagic]

🤟🏻🔥MAJESTIC SONG🔥🐺🤘🏻 Gracias por la reacción a este temazo‼️

[@evilvolts]

Nameless Warrior the last song with bassist Miho released on In the Beginning best of Lovebites 2017-2021 as a stand alone new single on the album.

[@evilvolts]

also reminds me of Under The Red Sky

[@evilvolts]

when I looked up Lovebites on your channel I didn't see The whole albums of Awakening from the Abyss,Clockwork Immortality, Electric Pentagram albums and also (Not Counting Lovebites EP since all ended up on The Awakening from the Abyss with Bravehearted Transferred from the Japanese version to English Version) Battle of Damnation EP; and Golden Destination Single but may as well be an EP since it also has 4 songs.

[@react-o-mat]

Yes the reason for that is that I only started my channel a couple of years after I got into japanese music and Lovebites was actually my very first japanese band discovery. So I already know and love everything else by them 😉🤘 (was just missing the 3 bonus tracks on this EP)

[@jairoalonsomarulanda3868]

🐺🤘🐺🤘🔥

[@NemusVetus]

I'm a big fan of Lovebites. I think their current album is the best. I'm not really sure why though. I can also recommend another female power metal band called Amaidantoudai [甘い断頭台] (which means "sweet guillotine"). Their newest MV is called Fumetsu no Hana (不滅の花). I also think you never reacted to Fate Gear? I just saw them live for the second time and they are amazing. Check out their songs Winds of Fall or Live in Blood, for example.

[@react-o-mat]

Yes I haven't done Fate Gear yet, I'm actually not sure if I heard their music before 🤔 Will add both groups to my list 😉👍

[@MaartenT]

Not necessarily the biggest fan of the "epic" sounding melodies overall, but the bass part before the solo was great and I liked the solos a lot as well. They reminded me a bit of some solos I heard by Symphony X, pretty progressive. I wish they were longer as the rest was ok, but a bit too standard power metal for me personally.
