Judgement Day Lyrics Never live, never die, never end, no way 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 history. 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, no way 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 history. 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! Music - Mao & Asami Lyrics - Asami ( NOTE: I found these on another reaction and apparently the original poster s name didnt copy ., If anyone knows please post that person for credit ) 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@danw6048]

The Metal Archives website also has the lyrics to Judgment Day. Unless I missed something, there are only two differences. In the first line, instead of "no way to go" it is "nowhere to go". Same change later in the song. In the chorus, instead of "Life, living every history" it is "Life, living every story". My feeling is that the Metal Archives lyrics are accurate.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Lovebites is a band of superstars. The dream team. Reminds me of Dream Theater. All virtuoso musicians in one band. Symphony X is another one. Midori is on the level of her influences now. All she lacks is the many years of experience her influences have, simply because they are all older than her. Lovebites is already being compared to the top metal bands of the last 40 years. All they need to do from here on out is just TOUR. Tour the world. Play shows, and rake in the money. They are "the next big thing".

[@ricdale7813]

Awesome band. Unreal musicianship and performances. Sadly here in the Western Corporate Media a Great band like this gets zero attention. Thanks too folks like you the word is spreading but again 95% of the West has no idea this kind of musicianship and from an all Female Japanese group is even a thing.

[@1970Phoenix]

The lack of international marketing by Lovebites record label is also a factor in Lovebites lack of recognition in much of the West.

Haruna went to a new level with "Dystopia Symphony".

This is the best Judgment Day review I've seen on KZbin so far. Thank you, greetings from Japan, Lovebites forever!

[@ckiemnstr345]

Fami still auditioned but privately. Fami was seriously thinking about quitting music altogether when she applied but joining the band has remotivated her. If you get the LE of the album, you get a documentary about her joining and the final stages of the audition process. Fami's dad is an old metal head and ever since she's joined Lovebites he sings Def Leopard's Love Bites to her when she gets home. 🤭

[@joeseconi250]

Eric you hit the nail on the head when you said there beauty is secondary. Every time I show this band to someone they instantly focus on there beauty. It gets frustrating because if you close your eyes this is one of the greatest metal bands of all time. Male or female, that said once someone realizes what this band is they always agree that it doesn’t matter how gorgeous they are, they just flat out rock. Excellent reaction I really enjoy your resin coated breakdowns, they are always spot on.

[@1970Phoenix]

I 100% agree. But they are smoking hot though.

[@mmcpa]

Love the comment "it's not fair". It just isn't. This is just a group, but it's a super group. Tell me there are better dual lead guitarists in a band with Miyako & Midori. The guns of Midori are as fast and tight as ever. Miyako said she'd work on her speed during hiatus - she proved it. Fami's modern bass lines not only line up with Haruna like Miho did, but she can move over to M & M and be a third wheel in a guitar solo. She's 20 BTW. Haruna's cymbal & bell work is next level - she keeps the pace, but she adds all sorts of fills and transitions like no other. Asami's voice is as powerful as ever. Lovebites isn't just power metal. They do not belong in that bucket. They are a perfect blend of power/speed/thrash/heavy metal done like no other band I have ever heard. There is no other band out there like them, and in my case, that comes from 50+ years from listening to metal. Totally enjoyed your analysis.

[@lianshadowmaker7834]

when 5 great musicians together in a band and has 50+ great songs, we can say that it's a crime 🤣

[@DMGJP]

[@ricdale7813]

Couldnt agree more. Spot on.

[@mythsteps1]

As I've said on some other reaction channels, Lovebites has evolved their many and varied classic metal influences into what I call Lovebites Metal. While each song may evoke a metal sub-genre, as a band, they are much more than whatever sub-genre a particular song is. And though the fact they are 5 Japanese women may be relevant to how they came to music, their talent, their skill, their ability, is not defined by genre, gender or nationality.

[@johnpaul4784]

WOW ! WOW ! Asami's voice is outstanding !

[@alekhidell]

The new album is my favourite. I love saying that. I already know how good it is. You are THE most professional music reactor, bar none. You ooze confidence, knowledge and class. I only watch Lovebites reactions, but it’s fitting that the best band ever (seriously) is viewed so favourably by someone who knows what they’re talking about and conveys it so eloquently. The best reacting to the best. Enough of the flattery (but I meant every word). I’m fortunate enough to have a ticket for Fami’s first live performance with Lovebites 2.0 on March 11th in Tokyo. I am utterly devoted to the band and have more or less blown a year’s disposable income to go. Do I care? Do I f**k! Trip of a lifetime to see the band of a lifetime. I live in the U.K. if they play nearer me (ie continental Europe), I’ll go there too. I’m not boasting I’m just expressing how much I appreciate their virtuosity by demonstrating how much I’m prepared personally to do to see them. If they’ve put in that much practice the least I can do is spend a fraction of it in monetary terms and flying hours.

[@davidhersrud5139]

Honestly I hope you take a lot of pics and vids and show us! Have a great time sir...

[@TheCyberMantis]

Yeah, that's a bucket-list thing. You can't even put a price on it.

[@yagosilver7009]

Hi, Thank you for coming to Japan. I am very glad you to come and see LB. I am also going to see them March 12th show with the best seat. I am big a fan of LB and have seen several their lives. I bet at first you will be suprised and impressed with real Haruna's drum and Asami's voice, and then so on the other members play. Wish you have great time in Japan along with LB. PS don't forget live attendance record at venue for fan club only get with smartphone. It will be nice memories for you. lol

[@lianshadowmaker7834]

Fami was at her doubtful thought about the future of her musical career,and almost at the same moment, LOVEBITES open a audition for new bassist. A great bassist meet a great band, and destiny incorporated them well. Fami had hasn't just brought a new color, new tone, new style, but she brought energy and ofcourse, HOPE! Fami is a game changer of this kind of metal genre, which is good, and take a whole new level for LOVEBITES. Everyone in the band are getting more better and better, and it wasn't about their musicianship, but also their chemistry among member. Judgement Day is gate that shown us how will LOVEBITES in the future, and i think this one is the best among their previous journey, and seems like it wasn't their top, something better awaits us in the future. Thank you for reacting these amazing ladies, great analysis, one of some best analylis so far. greetings from wolfpack🤘🐺🤘

[@fatboynick4104]

You hit it right on the nail of the head with your comment on Haruna and Fami. I recently put this comment on another reactor's page " Haruna's machine gun tempo on the drums and Fami's insane basslines complement each other so damn well". As far as I have seen, Fami is being accepted with open arms by the Wolf Pack. She had some very big shoes to fill replacing Miho who as well all know, is an amazing bass player. But Fami, in my opinion, is at a different level. As for the song itself, holy crap, what a way to come back. I think this new album is going to kick all our asses. I can't wait!!!

[@realdocloco]

The worst idea would have been to hire a Miho copycat - instead, having such a diffrent musician as Fami will help fans to stop mourning because she doesn't try to be Miho - she's Fami and she's different.

[@1970Phoenix]

@@realdocloco Agree - Miho is an excellent bassist, but Fami is a level above with her technical ability, and Lovebites version 2.0 is a better band as a result.

Them being beautiful adds value twice to what they do. First because beauty is important and we all love to see it. And second because they are so good that make it not be important, it is so subversive and impressive at the same time.

[@bernardbulwer3158]

What a fitting and excellent review! Your "that's not fair!" comment even before it fully ended aptly reflects how scary good and next-level they really are! For me, their commitment to excellence is truly inspiring, so I understand why Lovebites doesn't just have the Wolfpack as fans, but as fanatics! :) The legacies of these ladies are yet to be written, because they are already transcendent on so many levels ... like destinies aligned, as is evident from the titles and lyrics of so many of their songs. Even so, I think they are yet to realize the true extent of their impact, as they seem destined to increasingly inspire disparate groups of people across the globe, regardless of gender or genre. One reactor from Denmark (Sabina) in her Swan Song reaction even considered their excellence to reach an even higher level, stating, "If they had a party in heaven, I think this is how it would sound!" :) Boston, MA

[@flameofudun8447]

I cant wait for the new album to drop. This new track is a bit more symphonic and I love it. The exquisite women of Lovebites continue their amazing display of musicianship and metal mastery.

As someone who listens to a LOT of reactors I can honestly say that you're one of a very select few whose reactions I actually look forward to and listen to in their entirety - thanks . To me what Fami seems to bring to the band , and it's difficult to be 100% sure on the evidence of just one song is , in combination with Haruna , a new depth to the music - the speed has always been there but this track shows more richness 🤷‍♂

With anticipation for 10 new songs from LOVEBITES with new bassist Fami on their "Judgement Day" CD, I am asking for a special show of respect for founder, leader, bassist, composer, lyricist, backing-vocalist, "natural-born-headbanger" for every public-performance & officially released recording to date (except "Judgement Day" MV), Rosana Miho. ''Trio of Miho'' LIVE 2021: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIuQmpqAlt94jJI is 3 near-segue'd songs all written by Miho. "The Apocalypse > M.D.O. > Don't Bite The Dust" 14 minutes total, as performed on their 2021 "Ride For Vengeance" tour. Subjects: being atomic-bombed > uncommon wisdom > uplifting empowerment. RESPECT & gratitude to Rosana Miho for her efforts as "founder, leader, bassist, composer, lyricist, backing-vocalist, natural-born-headbanger!" of such a unique, amazing, eclectic, beautiful & empowering band! 💜Miho!💜 (all 3 at once, please!) 💙💚🧡❤💜 🐺 I've no idea what your "I concur army" is about, but I hope you will consider this 'Trio of Miho' regardless! (and even if you won't present a 3-song reaction, please WATCH them consecutively, in 'one sitting' to grasp the LIVE experience of sustained intensity through different styles, all from Rosana Miho!)

You hit the nail on the head with everything you explained. These ladies are a special phenomenon that seemingly have no limits. Anytime you think you’ve seen the best they can do, they ALWAYS surprise you and stretch that even further. Also, you were asking for any minor corrections, Fami is actually 20, not 18. And the album comes out Feb 22nd not 25th. Takes nothing away from anything you said, but just to make sure your info is as correct as possible. Lol. Love listening to all of your insight in any of their music, keep it up!

When you look at them vs other bands in the genre, there is no comparison. No disrespect to other metal bands as there are many good bands, but no one's close to Lovebites and what they're capable of. The level they play at is absolutely staggering! Just my subjective opinion. Look forward to your reactions of the new album in February!🤘🐺

Not fair!!! 😆😆😆 And the gap is going to get bigger, because these women are compulsively driven to improve. The four original members took the opportunity of the hiatus to level up, and adding Fami is like taking a match to kerosene. Ka Boom. I do have to argue one point with you. Actually, I think their beauty hurts them with some audiences. There are a lot of Americans who are so conflicted about sex and gender that they can't get out of their own way. I've seen it with the way some people react to Band-Maid--they just shut their minds and never actually hear the music. It's true of both men and women. It's sad, really.

[@TheWyldesidewithEricClark]

I think I was trying to make the point that their looks hamper them with some people who use it as a prejudice to discount their talent.

[@diwe9984]

I agree, again! ... I've said it many times before, but it fits with what you've said about the pure quality of Midori's guitar playing - although I definitely don't want to belittle Miyako, also another incredibly good musician (like all Lovebites musicians) - When I entered the wonderful world of Lovebites' music almost blindly in 2018, just because I was at the music festival in Wacken and was looking around with a rock band friend of mine to see what we wanted to listen to next - and someone said: hey, right away If a band from Japan is supposed to perform, let's check them out! ... After the - for us - incredibly surprising, impressive, world-changing Lovebites performance in Wacken, all of us friends were silent, more occupied with our own thoughts and impressions and only a long time later someone blurted out: what was that? Are the girls good! And the band's guitarist, Thomas, didn't want to play guitar for a few weeks. He just said: I've seen goddesses play! Midori, Miyako, Asami and Miho were simply world-class on stage in Wacken - in a nutshell - but Haruna, who appeared rather shy, absolutely blew me away! What this divinely playing drummer shows and creates live, wow, no drum lover should miss the opportunity to hear Haruna play live!

Midori is quoted as saying "we're not here to be pretty we're here to be heavy!"

[@mmcpa]

How you explained Fami and Haruna is in the same dialog that Miho and Haruna are talked about. They are the heartbeat, pushing an incredible pace. To me, there is a significant difference between how the engine sounds between Miho and Fami. Miho played in the old school classic metal style. Fast and heavy, somewhat straight line. Fami's technical prowess allows her to do two things at the same time. She is locked in with Haruna. But, she can also be an integral part of a guitar solo run. This solo was a 3- lead solo. I don't know how else to put it.

[@aeronomer8389]

Love your initial reaction. LOL

[@conradamber]

great reaction as usual. Fully agree with your conclusions, this band is something else. Excellent introduction of the new base player who seems to integrate very well with the rest of the band. indeed, the interplay between Fami and Haruna was pure joy. M&M are always amazing to listen to. we can expect a lot more from this band. Superstars, every single one of them, who work so well together that the result is bigger than the sum of the parts. I remember you're always looking for great drummers, well can you give dan presland a shot? Australian band called ne obliviscaris. Try their song: "and plague flowers the kaleidoscope". I know... but do me a favor and give it a shot :-). Thanks again for a great reaction!. See you next time.

[@sixtofive]

Fun reaction and some great analysis!

Another TOP all female Japanese Metal Bands NEMOPHILA - new album song Seize That Fate, Revive, Dissension (MV US version), Raitei.. HANABIE - songs WE LOVE SWEETS, NEET GAME.. ASTERISM - songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Blaze, Church...

[@ronniebrucehalford8396]

I concur - Nemophila’s Dissension and Hanabie’s We Love Sweets are a must. Asterism kicks ass too.

[@dregeye]

I very much appreciate your 'take' on Midori's guitar play. Her technical ability combined with her unique melodic sense consistently brings us unfamiliar yet 'emotional' solos that also suit the themes being presented. A major difference is Miyako's more 'traditional' & 'familiar' techniques, though both are far more 'original' than ever 'copy' or 'imitation' of others' works. I feel the 'impression' that Miyako plays 'more emotional' is her use of a more blues-rock based, self-taught approach (mixed with Van Halen-esque tapping) that has been interpreted as "emotional" for many decades. As much as I enjoyed your reaction, I find the MV audio somewhat altered from the original stereo that has the guitar in beginning panning back & forth over the bass which stays centered. The guitars, (though buried under the 'production') are left & right for the most part in the rhythm & the solos are Midori left & Miyako right, though not as 'hard panned' as their LIVE mixes (which is my preference). Considering LOVEBITES has, from their very first EP, gone to the trouble to send all their raw tracks to Finnvox in Helsinki, Finland to be mixed & mastered by Mikko Karmila & Mika Jussila, respectively, with only a few exceptions, and as someone who has done some 'audio tech' myself, I consider it most respectful to NOT ALTER what an artist/band has chosen to present to their audience. Please find a way to retain the original 'mix' LOVEBITES values so highly. I hope you heard it in it's original stereo mix. Quite an enjoyable 'reaction' (nevertheless)... thanks! 🐺

[@TheWyldesidewithEricClark]

I react to the link sent. If there is a better audio than what I heard in an "Official Video", by all means, throw me the link! Cheers! Eric

[@dregeye]

@@TheWyldesidewithEricClark From looking at the screen before you start the video it appears that the link you used is from "LOVEBITES" KZbin channel, the 'source'. By whatever means, the mix in your video is different. Maybe try listening to the start from each & notice the guitar panning while the bass stays center on the source, then not panning in your video. Though not completely mono causing a bunch of phase cancellation, nevertheless, altered. Try the solos. Midori-left channel & Miyako-right channel in the source, and on your video I hear both solos centered. I appreciate you taking the time & giving attention out of respect for the artist & the specific mix they want their audience to hear. I expect you are familiar with the peculiarities of combining stereo channels & the variety of inadvertent changes that can occur. If you put the link you use in the description your viewers could easily go watch direct, full screen after your excellent reactions, (and I would have been able to check to affirm or not that the 'mix' difference is source or elsewhere. ) I will also say that the only explanation I have for others NOT commenting on such 'mix' differences has to be that they must be watch/listening on a phone or other such 'device'. I watch many LOVEBITES reactions and sometimes (the usual) commenters "love" what they see/hear even when the music is inaudible, covered with a 'pop' song we are told 'to avoid copyright claim'. I see freeze-frame-stutter vids with full mono phase-cancelled distorted audio or only one channel, (leaving out one of the guitarists completely) 'reaction' with common commenters saying 'love your reaction!' Some must not even watch the vids they comment on! I don't 'get it', but I know what I hear and enjoy recording & mixing sound in my home studio (14trk, simultaneous-LIVE format) for my community at no-charge (being 'retired' &:-) I am listening through 75wRMS/ch amp, a pair of Cerwin Vega V-35s (18"s, horns & piezos); custom pair (12" midrange & super-tweeters) simultaneously with Sennheiser HD424 open-back headphones in an 11'x16' "dead" room. Speakers on the 16' spread. I wouldn't go to this much 'trouble' if not that I will enjoy your ongoing 'journey' through LOVEBITES 50 song existing catalogue much more IF the audio is as presented by the band. I think you will appreciate it too IF you were hearing in the same 'mix' as you video. Every one of their 50 songs I consider some of the greatest music ever written & recorded. Lyrics 'pushing them over the top'. I am 71 & began my musical journey in SoCal seeing Tull, Zep, Cream, Mountain, etc. I play guitar & drums & sing & have original music on this 'dregeye' channel (pic as 'avatar' is image on original songs). Here is a playlist of a 2020 studio-LIVE when they were prevented from touring. A 3rd Anniversary celebration of their first full CD release. That was called "Awakening From Abyss" & the studio celebration, their song-to-song performance of all 12 is called "Awake Again, LIVE from Abyss". In this, Midori is right channel, Miyako left. As 'intimate' as a Metal performance can be, (especially with Haruna 'breaking the forth wall' several times!): kzbin.info/aero/PLuV3rc8lTRfLAFtKF9-tFKzW5A9H4KvFR ( Yeah, I can be 'long-winded' ) \m/🐺\m/

[@Glynthepin]

I get vaguely annoyed with the: "Oh, all blokes in their fifties go for these Japanese lady bands". You broached the subject well. There is a general vacuum in the west for rock/metal bands, particularly in mainstream radio and media. Years ago, even pop radio station would play rock songs that made the charts or have a rock show amongst their programming. A good illustration for a label being banded about was when Nemophila, did their short tour of the US. Yes, it was predominantly middle aged men in the audience but it is thanks to them that Nemophila could even commit to making a tour. A lot of what gets reported is purvey old men lusting after younger woman. Totally ignoring the images and lyrics actively promoted in rap radio and mainstream media and the behaviour of the 'idols' I can't call them musicians, which is far and away worse and repulsive of an ideal for the younger generation to aspire to than learning to play an instrument and be in a band. I always emphasise that if it was not for the fifty something blokes supporting the Japanese lady metal/rock bands it would almost be that genre of music, being left to the few super groups still remaining. With nothing new coming to the table for the last ten plus years. I did 'run on' a bit there but hope you get the point. Thank you for your thoughts and views.

[@masaegu]

You need to get rid of the photo of Miho from your thumbnail as she is no longer with the band.

[@sounimoominous2577]

I leveled up my iq watching the reaction/review. 🤓

[@Greg-om2hb]

I enjoyed your reaction. ASAMI’s English vocals do sound more natural here, but she still sounds even better singing Japanese, as on the 2017 recording of BRAVEHEARTED, from the LOVEBITES EP - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJOpiaGwna-cn7M You expressed what I appreciate about LOVEBITES, NEMOPHILA, and especially BAND-MAID. They have all breathed new life into tired genres of music by taking absorbing a variety of sounds from the West, mixing them up, and crafting new music that is at once familiar and also fresh and innovative. Unfortunately, as you described, in my experience, a large part of the population who might most enjoy this music are instantly put off by the look. Or they whine, “I can’t understand what they’re saying!” Another “old” reactor recently lamented that when he tried to turn on his Rocker friends to BAND-MAID, they dismissed him as an apparent pervert who is to old to listen to a band of young “girls.”

[@athlonen]

The girls say it best: We aren't here to look pretty; we are here to PLAY HEAVY METAL!!!!! The good thing about what is going on right now, is that they laid the foundation when they started 6 years ago. Miho's idea was the put together a band heavily influenced by 80s power metal and thrash. So you have that Judas Priest/Iron Maiden/Big 4/Helloween vibe throughout everything they have done, because that's what Miho wanted. She left the band amicably (her father's passing had a lot to do with her decision), but now they brought in Fami, who I would rank up there with BOH from Babymetal on bass. Now they can channel guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen (who doubles on bass in the studio; good luck bassists!), whose influence is heavy on this track, even go as far as metalcore (bringing in Pantera, in which Dimebag Darrell is Miyako's favorite guitarist), while still staying true to thrash and power metal. They now have a bassist that can match M&M. Right now, I'd say that no band in the world can touch them in the genre of metal they are in. I mean, the day Judgement Day dropped in Japan, it hit number one. What song did it kick out of that #1 spot? Metallica's Lux Aeterna.

[@randypeters366]

Great reaction. I agree Midori is an amazing guitarist, but she's nowhere near Miyako's level as an overall musician. Not even in the same hemisphere.

[@Oldmarty]

They are not a female metal band, the are a Metal Band , you don't say to Iron Maiden Boy Band
