What style of metal do you play? Lovebites: Yes! 🤘🐺

[@marting.h.9417]

Thanks for reacting to amazing Lovebites and spreading the word because they need more recognition. These women are extremely talented, skillful and exceptional musicians. Their main influences are the great metal bands from the past but they have been developing their own and unique style. Miho (former bassist and founder of the band) once said that they wanted to play as heavy as men but keeping their femininity. Their live performances are outstanding.

[@TJandTheGringa]

I was completely blown away by this band. We will be reacting to a lot more of their music since its all new to us but we are amazed by it.

I'm thrilled that new reaction video channels are always taking on Japanese women's heavy metal bands. Welcome to the rock and classic heavy metal club of the future guys! Lovebites history : Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in 2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany 2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England 2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium 2019 - Download Festival in Spain. 2019 - Download Festival in UK. In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward. Members : Asami : Vocals, Piano🎤 Haruna Ishikawa : Drums🥁 Midori Tatematsu : Lead Guitar, backing vocals 🎸 Miyako Watanabe : Lead Guitar, Keyboard , Piano, Keytar, backing vocals🎸🎹 FAMI : Bass🎸 Founder : Miho Rosana : Bass (2016-2021)🎸 INFO : Miyako + Midori are the best guitar duo in 3 decades ! All Lovebites women are masters. These Ladies write, compose and arrange their own songs. Over 60 premium songs in 6 years and not a single weak song. Masters in live playing and geniuses in composing. LOVEBITES: Their gimmick is their ability! - This women play different styles, but always hard and fast. Thrash Metal + Power Metal + Speed Metal + Metal Ballads. ⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇ I've been a big LOVEbites fan for 3 years and fans never get enough of it so : S u g g e s t i o n s for next reaction V i d e o 's: (Copy the following sentence lines and enter them into the KZbin search bar, you will find the videos) 🤘😎🤘 New Songs from the new LOVEBITES - LP Judgement Day : LOVEBITES music video - Judgement Day 2022 LOVEBITES music video - Stand and Deliver 2023 🤘🤘 Songs ALL LIVE with new bass player Fami 2023 !!!

I follow Lovebites and in all my 72 years it was Lovebites who have rekindled my love for heavy metal. But I will give you youngsters fair warning, if you listen to one more Lovebites, you will be sucked right down their awesome rabbit hole. I hope your studio chairs have built in seat belts. If not, better have some installed. Next try Lovebites’ Holy War (Live at Zepp DiverCity).😊

[@billozzy5760]

I wonδer for such a good band, it's not known even now..........even I who searching new bands (not as much as before) I discovered it by luck from a reactor.........I hope they get the recognition they deserve.... .....

[@phillipgross1887]

"welcome to LOVEBITES, they play heavy metal, and they play it damned good, these lades are friggin awesome, great music, great lyrics, great videos, LIVE is even better 🤘""

[@1970Phoenix]

Its sad that so many metal heads have never even heard of LOVEBITES. They are elite musicians, probably one of the top three metal bands on the planet in terms of pure musicianship, along with Dream Theater and Symphony-X. But it is great to see the smiles on the faces of old (or if you prefer, mature) metal heads when they first discover LOVEBITES. They have nearly 60 original songs, and not a single bad song in their catalogue. This song is Thrash Metal, but the majority of their catalogue probably fits better under the broad category of Power Metal/NWOBHM. You'll hear obvious influences from Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Helloween, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Testament, Metallica, Motörhead etc. Enjoy the journey.

[@hiawatha.g]

good post!

[@ioanniskostoulas4448]

You're right they deserve more regognition. About the musicianship there're many great bands in this level at Europe. They're influences are there with Helloween and Stratovarius be their major influence.

[@hiawatha.g]

@@ioanniskostoulas4448 no question, their influences are more in Europe than US--they have even said so. And yes, Europe has several bands at this level technically. However, Lovebites' songwriting is significantly better than that of bands like Helloween or Dragonforce, to name just two. That is one reason they are changing the game!

[@1970Phoenix]

@@ioanniskostoulas4448 If we ignored Miyako's ability on the keyboards, I'd agree with you. But the two bands I mentioned are the only ones I'm aware of that have a classically trained pianist in the band. That allows LOVEBITES to do this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpSwh6eoq9V9ps0

[@GrayFox14]

- "I heard that the reason the internet was invented was so strangers could argue over which sub-genre of music a particular song belonged in" ( @1970Phoenix) Sorry. But all the bands you listed (except for HELLOWEEN), which clearly influence LOVEBITES, are not considered power metal bands. Nothing personal.

[@figuerio1]

Lovebites is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Greetings from Argentina

[@hiawatha.g]

Congratulations, you just found the most talented 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. If they are not your thing, then you probably simply don’t like melodic metal, because they are the best at it. They recently went on a year-and-a half hiatus while they waited out the pandemic and searched for a new bassist, after their founder and original bassist left the band for personal reasons. 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. They did their first live performances in more than two years in summer of 2023, with their new bassist Fami. Their very first show was commemorated on the DVD “Knocking on Heaven’s Gate”. They have posted four performances from that DVD: ”Hammer of Wrath” kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnnViIWKZa-Yl8U “Judgement Day” kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4qohnqie7N1gcU “Nameless Warrior” kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep2Vaqeff6iVhK8 and “Liar” kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4irgZmkf99lp80 All of them are barn-burners. They have also posted: “Stand and Deliver” kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX_MXoJ7n9-AmqM “Swan Song” kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHyVYparfpKJbcU “MDO” kzbin.info/www/bejne/apvLonh9ibCiick and “We the United” kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5-xqamdga6SiMk from the second concert. 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 is also getting involved in composing. In mid-2021, Miho left the band she had founded, for personal reasons. They went on hiatus while they searched for a new bassist, and during that time, two of them had babies, even as the band were writing and rehearsing their new album. They recently announced the new bassist, Fami, who is a young phenom and herself a composer and multi-instrumentalist. Their first song with Fami is “Judgement Day” kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2TYeJ2mYrVqeqs 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." You just watched “Set the World on Fire” from their 2021 concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”. Here are more clips you should check out: “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; Perhaps their greatest masterpiece, a showcase of multi-instrumental virtuosity and even classical dance: “A Frozen Serenade” kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5aboYSMqpKFhJo (with lyrics embedded) or kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXbNf2qads1npc0 for a 1080p version. And their most reacted-to video, “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. She is self-taught on 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/a4HGYYuBZdGBo7c 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) 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. Finally, the audio tracks of some of the new album are up on youtube, and worth checking out. The band clearly came out swinging and wanted to make a statement. Every song on the album is a showcase of their incredible talent and songwriting capabilities. “Stand and Deliver” is a thrasher with a fun video of them in the studio. “Soldier Stands Solitarily”, the final song on the album, is being touted by some as the best thing they’ve done so far-I encourage you to see and decide for yourself! 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!

Thanks for your reaction. If you continue your journey into the World of LOVEBITES, you will be surprised many more times. One of the facts about this phenomenal band : In June 2018, LOVEBITES won Metal Hammer's GOLDEN GODS Award. They were recognized as the 'Best New Band' in the world of heavy music (London, UK). If you are seriously interested in metal, then you do not need to be told about Metal Hammer and its authority. LOVEBITES are the Goddesses of Heavy Metal. They play like Goddesses, they dress like Greek Goddesses (white dresses embroidered with gold), they received the GOLDEN GODS Award! If you like a cocktail of speed, thrash, progressive, power, neoclassical metal, with the addition of classical music (piano), then I highly advise you to pay serious attention to this band! And pay attention to Japan! LOVEBITES are very, very, very, serious! Many Western music critics call these ladies the Queens of Metal and the future of world metal. I believe that LOVEBITES is more than Queens. They are the Goddesses of Metal!

[@ahodori-dl5hz]

LOVEBITES' "un-metal-band-like" feminine white costumes tend to put off many metalheads before they even hear them play. Of course, they understand this, but they are still proud of their femininity, and even if they are not accepted by others and become lone wolves, they chose to wear the costume and made the wolf the symbol of their band to stand up for their beliefs. And those who are bitten by the LOVEBITES will call themselves WolfPack.

[@ericsaari2901]

Just my opinion, but that right there is the greatest metal band in the world right now, one of the greatest guitar duos of all time, and one of the greatest metal bands of the last 40 years. They bring classic metal back with a modern twist, are insanely technical and talented in all positions and sound better live than they do in studio. Nothing short of a miracle of a band. Welcome to Lovebites! If you love metal, as you clearly do, I cannot even tell you how much you should check out more of them. They're unbelievable. It gets better the more you hear from them, with the variety, the lyrics (Asami sings and writes in English, and you'll get used to her accent), their stage presence and personalities. They don't have a bad song in their catalog. They primarily do power and thrash metal, with some combination of speed and are a little hard to nail into one genre. They have some true masterpieces too, but I'll recommend Holy War live from 2020 if you want to see them lean into power metal kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJikqaN7paqWpNE or Break the Wall if you want more thrash (and one of the best thrash songs ever written) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4HGYYuBZdGBo7c but you literally cannot go wrong with any suggestion you get from anyone else in the comments.

Welcome to Lovebites, the Wolfpack, Lovebites fans around the world will be along to give you information about them. Lovebites are a five piece Japanese all female metal band formed in 2016 by two former members of Destrose, a all female band that broke up in 2015. They are influenced by the British and European metal bands from the 1970's and 80's such as Iron Maiden, Metallica and Judas Priest to name three. Founder member Miho is a big fan of Steve Harris, Bass player with Maiden. Lovebites are the first Japanese female band to play at the Wacken Open Air festival in Germany, and have played the Bloodstock festival in the UK amongst others. In 2019 they toured the UK with Dragon Force, Herman Li appearing on stage in a white dress as the 'missing sixth member of Lovebites' during the end of tour show in Newcastle upon Tyne. The same year they opened for Arch Enemy in China. The concert this video is taken from was played in 2021 under Covid regulations. The audience was restricted to 50% capacity, with mandatory masks and no shouting and cheering. This is part of the reason the band do not move around the stage as much as they normally would. Also, one member, Miyako, is several months pregnant. She played the near two hour concert without a break, her only concession being to wear flat shoes rather that the usual high heels. She gave birth to a daughter later that year. Asami, the vocalist had a baby not too long after. These ladies are tough ! The band members are; Asami, Vocals and Piano. She trained as a Ballet Dancer and was a R&B singer before joining Lovebites. She writes many of the Lyrics and sings in English (except for one early recording) She has a strong Japanese accent, but if you let yourself become familiar with it, she is not hard to follow. Midori, Guitar. She is the blond 'Amazon Warrior' on the left. She is a body builder and has scored well in competitions. Miyako, Guitar, Piano and Keyboards. Long black hair on the right. A classically trained pianist, she writes much of the bands music, often incorporating themes from classical works into her compositions. (In her spare time she is also a wife, mother, animal lover, Star Wars fan, gear head and enjoys fishing 😄) Both play lead, swapping to and forth. For a masterwork in this try 'Scream For Me' from Daughters of the Dawn 2019. "Give me the Beat Haruna" ! Haruna, Drums. Only around 1.4 meters tall, she is nicknamed 'Little BIG Engine' due to her speed and precision over concerts up to two hours long. Founder member along with, Miho, Bass Guitar. Miho left the band in 2021 due to personal reasons. The Wolfpack wish her well for the future and hope to se her back with a new band. Fami, new Bass player from late 2022. She was twenty when she joined Lovebites and still at University. She has her own YT channel with near 700,000 subs. Lovebites are doing a tour of Europe this summer, kicking off in a few days time in London on Friday 14th June, making a return visit to London on 1st July. They make their North American debut at Atlanta in September. I'm going to see them at both London gigs 😃 A few recommendations for further listening. Holy War, Judgement Day, Hammer Of Wrath, When Destinies Align, We The United, Winds Of Transylvania (written for a Japanese Anime series VLADLOVE) Frozen Serenade, Edge Of The World, Epilogue. There will be more recommendations from the Wolfpack. Whatever you choose, if you enjoyed this song, I don't think you will be disappointed. They have around sixty songs in their back catalogue and truly seem unable to write a bad one. I regard them as possibly the best band I have heard in nearly 60 years listening to rock and metal. 😃🤘🐺

You guys just been exposed to the most infectious metal band in the world, Lovebites. Once you enter their realm, it's hard to find a way out. All their songs were damn good (audio, MV's or live). Guitar duet solos, high melodic voice, fast pumping drumming, hard pounding bass were their special weapons. Dig more to confirm it and got blown again 👍🤘.thanks they will touring US, check it out.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Welcome to LOVEBITES. They are the best power metal band in the world, and power metal isn't the only genre of metal they play. Next song should be Judgement Day, featuring their new phenom on bass, Fami ,who joined the band in 2022 at the age of 20.

[@TJandTheGringa]

Ok this i need to hear... I absolutely love this band.. The Bassist is sick as hell too and I would love to hear something that features her ripping on it.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

@@TJandTheGringa She has a bass intro in Judgement day and has great bass lines throughout the guitar solos that you need to listen for. She also rips it some in Stand and Deliver and The Hammer of Wrath. She came on board after all of these songs were already written, so she hasn't really influenced their music just yet. The new album, soon to be announced, is the one everyone is waiting to hear what she does on bass with Lovebites. If you want to see/hear her talents then check out her bass covers on her KZbin channel. Start with this one, it has 11 million views. She did it when she was only 17 years old. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5C4oq2qrL50hbc

Oh, LoveBites! Fantastic! You need to check out as many LoveBites songs as possible. This band has an excellent catalog of almost 60 songs! Please check out "The Hammer of Wrath" ("Knockin' At Heaven's Gate, 2023"). If possible, try not to pause during guitar solos. LoveBites almost always play multiple solos in a row.

[@BulletProofSoul1029]

In this video Miyako (dark haired guitarist) is playing a custom Dean Switchblade, and if I remember correctly, has a different pickup configuration than the Razorback. She is a Dean endorsed artist that also plays a Custom Dean Flying V as well as a Custom Dean Icon Denim with a PRS style body. The Icon is pretty much her signature guitar and whats most associated with her. She does however also play Gibsons live; Les Paul, Custom Shop Korina V, and a Custom Shop Futura. Then on top of being an exceptional guitarist, she's a classically trained pianist since age 3 and also plays bass and drums. Btw, she also didn't start playing guitar until 18 and was mostly self taught off a Japanese guitar instruction manual, loosely translated as "Phrases From Hell", and learning songs by ear. The first metal song she ever learned by ear was "Master Of Puppets". She's an exceptionally talented musician and composer. LoveBites has a diverse catalogue with over 50 original songs (They also have a killer cover of Judas Priest's "Painkiller") with not one dud or average song, imo. I highly suggest you go through as many LoveBites songs as you can because each one is unique in its own way, and they don't just stick to one particular style of metal. LoveBites is a rabbit hole well worth diving head first into.

[@TJandTheGringa]

Her Speed and Precision as well as Technique is Admirable.

[@BulletProofSoul1029]

@@TJandTheGringa To be honest, this is probably their least technical pieces, especially when it comes to their harmonizing, tapping and sweeping. These two ladies are probably the most locked in dual guitarist I've heard in a while and Miyako by far is my favorite composer at the moment, her generation's Prince, or as close to it as someone can get (the more you hear, the more you'll understand). She even released an EP fall of classical piano interpretations of metal classics; Battery by Metallica, Far Beyond The Sun by Yngwie Malmsteen;, Eagle Fly Free by Helloween, The Loner by Gary Moore, and Burn by Deep Purple. I say all this as someone who grew up on thrash in the mid 80's with Marty Friedman, Rocky George, Alex Skolnick, Steve Vai and Stevie Ray Vaughan as my main guitar heroes.

LOVEBITES is a five-member all-female, Japanese heavy metal band with deep musicianship (plus classical music/piano background). They transcend gender, genre, and geography, with some 60 songs in their discography. They won Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best New Band (2018), toured with Dragonforce (2019), first female Japanese band to perform at Wacken Open Air (Germany) and others in Europe, and are unusual among Japanese bands in choosing to sing in English plus good lyrics (a daunting task for native Japanese speakers). They play a variety of heavy metal styles and are heavily influenced by NWBHM, especially Iron Maiden and the "big four" thrash metal bands. Their live performances are best: Their 4th STUDIO ALBUM, 2023 (Judgement Day; highly acclaimed (wiki), Guitar Solos galore): Judgement Day (music video) from their latest album, 2023 (power-thrash-symphonic metal): kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2TYeJ2mYrVqeqs Stand and Deliver (music video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/anrQeHRtmLWsqNU Soldier Stands Solitarily (thrash-speed - audio) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJavZ3l-hpVkjJYsi=g4Gif3cPVwUpnDzR Wicked Witch (audio): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXPbi3hqf5lji9ksi=2lMMfTSzJ3fFdOrW SHOW OPENERS: Thunder Vengeance (thrash - show opener): kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4ioaIOneNV6n5Y ; The Hammer of Wrath: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnnViIWKZa-Yl8U.

Welcome to my favorite band.

[@bernardoesperanto3194]

Under the many great songs of LB (I'm not aware of a single mediocre one) I recommend the pretty recent song "The Hammer of Wrath" (live 2003): The former bass player and band co-founder Miho left LB for private reasons. The band was on hiatus for 18 months (during which the singer Asami and the black-haired guitar and piano player Miyako got their babies) until Fami joined the band as new bass player. With the "Hammer" she played for the first time a live concert with LB. A must see is the Swan Song WITH the Chopin intro (live 2020) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXPLpaSdnr14d5Y Miyako holds a university degree in playing classic piano. Finally I recommend LB's cover version of Judas Priest's Painkiller - unfortunately there is only a fan made MV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4LYaoOHotJ7gas LB produced the cover shortly after Asami joined the band. Asami, until her accident a trained classic ballet dancer and later R&B singer allegedly asked at the time "Judas who?". 😇🥰

If you want to really go heavy in the japanese foxhile: Ningen Isu/ Heartless scat. They have been around for 30+ years. Japanese answer-ish to Black Sabbath. Jiluka / Venom is heavier then heavy. Genre: Visual Kei electro goth metal.

[@fastskipper777]

Lovebites have two lead guitarists LOL.

[@1970Phoenix]

In Japan, no one has even heard of the phrase "rhythm guitarist".

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

@@1970Phoenix Band-Maid has a rhythm guitarist - Miku.

[@mamoru1412]

@@1970Phoenix In such Japanese bands as Luna Sea, Exist Trace, The Gazette there is also a division into lead and rhythm guitar.

Check out their concert schedule. They are making a few appearances in the U.S. later this year, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas. They are in Europe as we speak, for 5 dates.

Welcome to the all-female Japanese rock/metal band rabbit hole. Lovebites, Nemophila, Hanabie, BAND-MAID and others.

good morning, this is one of the more than 20 songs that will surprise you, react to more live songs, 2020, 2021 or 2023 with your new bassist Fami

[@kyles5513]

Band-Maid, Lovebites, KGLW, the future of rock and metal are in good hands.

Some of that early Metallica trash and Judas Priest competing guitar battle in one. Love it!

dude u pause the best part T.T combo wombo guitar duel T.T but I still like your reaction ^.^ thank u

[@bradchambers2354]

soldier stand solitarily live will really blow your mind good reaction

[@GrayFox14]

'Soldier Stands Solitarily' (Live) on KZbin are pirated video, with highly distorted sound and poor image quality. It is better to recommend 'Soldier Stands Solitarily' from the Аlbum (audio).

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

only recommend the studio version or the live stream version with the ladies on zoom.

[@tonygriffin_]

Once you have experienced Lovebites and Band-Maid live, there's no real need to look elsewhere for the very best Metal and Rock bands on the planet. But Japan is a treasure chest packed to overflowing with either all-female or female-led Rock and Metal bands, so always worth taking a look at them too - Nemophila (best vocal fry and melodic vocals too as well as slamming Metal), Hanabie (Hard vocal fry, Metal/Pop/Punk sounds), Babymetal (epic Metal of every type and some none of us ever imagined, unreal live shows...really, they crucified the lead singer live on her 16th birthday!), Asterism (Astounding talent from this trio, especially the female lead guitar, Hal-ca - try CHURCH live in studio session by Asterism for a breathtaking display of musicianship - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppzMfIZ4jZ19hqMsi=pHHisIi2MOfIAlqa ) - The Wagakki Band (mixing traditional Japanese instruments and modern Metal and Rock ones), Otoboke Beaver (full on Punk and the best of that genre I've seen since the late 1970's)...the list goes on and on are all excellent and kill it live too but there's many more jewels in that treasure chest! PS - Just 30 minutes ago, Lovebites' bassist (not the one in this video but the new one, Fami, who's been with them a year) released a slap bass video on her YT channel - it's impressive! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJfQqGmunpKepbcsi=DsdrVn7ho7F6xQ3m

Don't forget the H in the word THRASH or the meaning changes to something very bad.

[@alanfoster6589]

"I didn't know there was stuff like this out there". That's because popular music in the U.S. is controlled by mega corporations who only want radio to play those artists they control and represent. There's a whole world of great music out there, from Scandinavia (Nightwish, Sabaton, Amon Amarth) to Ukraine (Jinjer) to Indonesia (VoB--Voice of Baceprot) to India (Bloodywood) to Mexico (The Warning). But you won't hear any of them on U.S. radio. I'm 77 and I've heard many of the greats live. The Who, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, ELP, AC/DC, and so many more. Nightwish is the best band I've ever heard.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

I agreed with everything you said except the last sentence. Lovebites holds that place for me. They are heavier than Nightwish. (I do like Nightwish, but prefer the heaviness of Lovebites over them).

[@alanfoster6589]

@@ChadTheDragonLord Fair enough. Versatility is one of the reasons I like Nightwish so much. They go from something heavy like Romanticide or Yours is an Empty Hope, to Amaranth. Not to mention epics like The Greatest Show on Earth and the current release, Perfume of the Timeless. And I do think Lovebites is currently the best heavy metal band.

[@acidbath2662]

Welcome to the wolfpack:)

[@hiawatha.g]

Don 't forget my prior suggestion: Bridear (see the comment on your last Band-Maid reactionn). Another group that bangs, but very different style. There are literally hundreds of Japanese female-led metal, hard-rock and punk bands. If you want a list of the best ones, just reply yes to this comment,.
