I absolutely love this track. It's probably among my top five Lovebites songs. Check out Winds of Transylvania next if you want Lovebites in studio quality. Or The Hammer of Wrath for another great live video.

Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES. The Crusade" is a homage to "Iron Maiden - Aces High". The lead track, "The Crusade," is a respectful tribute to British heavy metal, which the girls experienced in November 2017 when they performed at an event in the UK and toured London. The Crusade" is the lead track of their mini-album "Battle Against Damnation" (released in June 2018). In an interview for a magazine project, both Asami(Vo) and Haruna(Dr) said that they had to be the most enthusiastic in the Lovebites list at the time to be able to sing the song and play it all the way through. Today, there are many more difficult songs than this one.

LOVEBITES - The Crusade lyrics: Walking in shadows, immersed in deception While hiding our agony, faking a smile Pulling the trigger to lose my religion All of the truth ends up murdered by lies Dancing with demons, they seem to be fond of me Let’s start the ritual for the revenge Pulling the trigger to burn non-believers Being the odd one out drives me insane I’m a fool in disguise You’d never realize Found myself in its song Where else would I belong? Break free Fight to live on, forever strong Break free Heart made of steel, show me what’s real Deep down My heartbeat and blood burning with love Deep down It’s time to begin the crusade Wanting an answer, but losing myself While I’m hiding my anger behind empty smiles Pulling the trigger to punish the traitors All of your words were just nothing but lies Crawling in chaos, I’m losing my breath, tell me What do you see through your sinister eyes? Pulling the trigger to kill the oppressors I had no choice but to hide when I cried Found myself in its song Where else would I belong? Break free Always believe, hope is the key Break free Heart made of steel, knight of ordeal Deep down Destroy the restraints, never again Deep down It’s time to begin the crusade SOLO: midori / miyako Break free Fight to live on, forever strong Break free Heart made of steel, show me what’s real Deep down My heartbeat and blood burning with love Deep down Be true to yourself and your beliefs It’s time to get up and breath ----- lyrics: miho music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Battle Against Damnation EP 06/06/2018

You will find that you don't need to put a filter over the screen with Lovebites. Especially if you take the videos from their own website or KZbin channel. They like reactors.

[@marting.h.9417]

Thanks so much for getting back to amazing Lovebites so soon because they deserve more recognition. Asami used to sing R&B, soul and jazz before she joined the band. Miyako is also a concert level classical pianist. Some people say that they came to planet Earth in order to save metal. In an interview, Miho (ex bassist and founder of the band) said that they wanted to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. Miho left the band in August 2021 and Fami joined in October 2022.

[@Patrick_H.]

Glad you are going down the Lovebites rabbit hole. There is a lot to discover. Lovebites plays many different styles. Here's one where Miyako (dark hair guitar/piano) Mixes classical piano with Metal music - including a Chopin piano intro: Swan Song [+Chopin Intro] kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXPLpaSdnr14d5Y

Now maybe check out Break the Wall which has more of a Metallica vibe.

Definitely had a few recommendations for this one! Thanks for watching🫶🤟

[@marks5451]

Yes all of them 😊. How about Nameless Warrior live from one of their recent concerts - "Knockin' at Heaven's Gate 2023. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@colonelbasic9736]

Check out A Frozen Serenade live, its their masterpiece as far as im concerned

[@susanfitzsimons2384]

Miho/bass is a Steve Harris fanatic and he is her idol. That is a custom made Dean V made for Miyako who is a rep for them (she plays several guitars depending on the song) while Midori is an ESP rep and uses them exclusively. If you want and are ready for another side of the band try Frozen Serenade LIVE (piano, acoustic guitar, ballet dance, Asami's bluesy vocals and wicked M&M guitar riffs) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXbNf2qads1npc0 I would also like to suggest Signs of Deliverance LIVE for the M&M guitar show in all its glory kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHexo55nbst-nck

[@ahodori-dl5hz]

Miho (bass), who composed this song, was watching a live performance of Iron Maiden when this melody popped into his head. She left the band about six months after this concert. In case you are wondering, Miyako's Dean Flying V, which you liked, is her signature model.

[@dregeye]

"The Crusade" The only song with lyrics: Miho; music: Miyako. One other they collaborated on is "Break The Wall" lyrics: Miho; music: Miho, with Miyako on transition/bridge.

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

A hommage to Iron Maiden, no doubt. Just imagine Bruce Dickinson on stage insead of Asami, singing the same, and everything would fit nevertheless. *I n s a n e * . Which also means, that "Eddie and the boyz" can retire now. 😂 (That was just a joke.) For further Iron Maiden vibes listen to the Lovebites songs "Golden Destination", "Wicked Witch" and "My Orion". 😊

[@rainerzufall42]

The ode to Aces High! Miyako's finger tapping is top shelf and considering she's nearly 5mos pregnant during this show. If you like it heavier, try out Hammer of Wrath live. Ty for reacting to my favorite band ever! Any song by them is incredible and wait till you see the masterpieces!🤘

Love your reactions to lovebites, great! Lovebites is a very versatile band, till now you've got a strong Iron Maiden vibe but for something completely different I'll recommend some other songs; Frozen Serenade, Swan Song with Chopin intro on piano or Break the wall. They're great live but also have some very good musicvideos, I'll recommend Shadowmaker or When Destinies Align. All the live footage is great, for more casual in the studio take a look at live from Abyss but don't watch the liveconcert of Bloodstock, the audio is of a horrible quality. Hope you'll do some more Lovebites in the near future and wish you all the best!

[@ronaldtjahya9253]

This is one of my favorite song, Lovebites better live than studio, I suggest you to check Shadow Maker, live Tokyo 2021, amazing musician, thanks bro and sis, great comment, carry on, tons to go

[@kazhannah]

Thanks so much for watching! Loving lovebites so far🫶

[@georgeellis1563]

If you like Iron Maidens Aces High.....you should check out another all female metal band from Japan called Nemophila. They do a lot of original songs but also do a lot of covers.They do a great cover of Maidens Aces High.

[@exDemonius]

Yes, this song is perfect. However... like all Lovebites songs. In this live video, Miho, the founder of the group, plays bass. Unfortunately, she left Lovebites. :( Currently the talented Fami plays bass. Try "Set the world on fire" next time! You will be impressed. Thank you for the reaction! More Lovebites on the channel!

[@kazhannah]

[@hiawatha.g]

The ladies are always open about crediting their influences, and would never disrespect a pioneering band like Iron Maiden. But here is the crazy thing: Play this back to back with "Aces High", and you can't escape the fact that Lovebites are faster, more melodic, heavier and more precise than the dudes. Haruna just plays circles around Nicko. And it's all ok, because every field progresses. Someday there may be a band better than Lovebites, but right now they are the standard.

This is the best Maiden song not written by Maiden.
