"Thunder Vengeance" is the first track on the 3rd album, 2020's "Electric Pentagram". Written by Miho, Mao co-wrote the music with her. She wrote many of their thrashier songs. Opening song of the concert, album was brand new at this show. You already did "Holy War", that was the 2nd song on the album. Also 2nd at this show, so you have seen that the jackets didn't last long, think they didn't care for them in the first place. "Break the Wall", also from this show, is highly recommended.
Miyako loves her wah pedal and she owns it. The triplets in this track are so tight. As always Haruna is just a beast, it's amazing she can keep up this pace thru a full show. So much more to see/hear from them. Enjoy the ride.
Their “Five of a kind” concert is just mind-blowing (I have the Blue-ray) and the audio and video quality is outstanding. From this performance, I recommend “Dancing with the devil” (kind of a classic rock vibe, showcasing Asami’s R&B vocals)

LOVEBITES - Thunder Vengeance lyrics: Gods of vengeance Standing in the nightmare The peal of thunder broke me and more When losing my eye The days will pass before me A faded memory of what used to be Death by oblivion (Do it) Deadly criterion (Do it) Flames of despair burning My blood is boiling inside me Death by oblivion (Do it) Deadly criterion (Do it) Inner enraged demon is becoming me Here come days of revenge Until the day the light can reach into my blind eye Lost in the rage These scars are here to tell me that I’m still alive Into the blackness Don’t reveal weakness Hiding my curses, pay off an old grudge Forgotten feelings, other than resentment Don’t even mind giving others pain Damn the redemption (Do it) Drowning confusion (Do it) Doom filled with righteous indignation Where’s my salvation？ Damn the redemption (Do it) Drowning confusion (Do it) Does my life have meaning？ Am I a speck of dust？ I’ve got blood on my hands I want to claw and tear you, rip apart your name Die in the sands Your sins will never be erased or washed away SOLO: midori / haruna Beaten down but the hatred’s growing Rotten pain that is never healing Only I can end my suffering I won’t kneel down because of yesterday Gods of vengeance Standing in the nightmare The peal of thunder broke me and more When losing my eye The days will pass before me A faded memory of what used to be Death by oblivion (Do it) Deadly criterion (Do it) Flames of despair burning My blood is boiling inside me Death by oblivion (Do it) Deadly criterion (Do it) Inner enraged demon is becoming me Here come days of revenge Until the day the light can reach into my blind eye Lost in the rage These scars are here to tell me that I’m still alive Blood on my hands I want to claw and tear you, rip apart your name Die in the sands Your sins will never be erased or washed away SOLO: miyako ----- lyrics: miho music: miho & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020
The Ride The Lightning album cover is the image that come into my head when this song starts playing. It sounds like this song could have been a track on that album. This is the kind of music that the louder it is the better. Crank it to 11 and bang your head!🤘 🐺🤘

'Signs of Deliverance' 10. 'Set the World on Fire' 11. 'The Unbroken' 12. 'Swan Song' You can choose any song. And you can't go wrong. 👍😊 🐺The Album 'Electric Pentagram' became the first LOVEBITES release to enter the Oricon Top-10 (Japanese Chart), peaking at #9. 🐺In April 2020, the famous Metal Hammer magazine included 'Electric Pentagram' in the 'Top 20 Best Metal Albums of 2020'. 🐺In February 2020, a concert took place in Tokyo, which took place as part of the national 'Electric Pentagram Tour 2020' LOVEBITES in the cities of Japan. This concert was recorded and released on Blu-ray/DVD/2×CD, under the title 'Five of a Kind - Live in Tokyo 2020'. The song 'Thunder Vengeance' opened the 'Electric Pentagram Tour' concerts (it is also the first track on 'Five of a Kind - Live in Tokyo 2020'). 🐺Blu-ray 'Five of a Kind - Live in Tokyo 2020' became #1 on the Japanese Oricon Music Blu-ray Chart. 🐺You checked the songs of LOVEBITES (from LP 'Electric Pentagram' and Blu-ray/DVD 'Five of a Kind - Live in Tokyo 2020'): 'Holy War', 'Swan Song', 'Thunder Vengeance'. The cover of the Album 'Electric Pentagram' depicts a Pentagram (Five-Pointed Star in a Circle) and a Wolf. In Eastern philosophy, the Pentagram has a positive meaning. The Five rays of the Star determine the basic parameters of the Universe (Five Elements; Five Actions; Five Movements; Five Columns; Five phases, ect). These Five parameters are what our World (Universe) consists of. On the 'Electric Pentagram' CD itself there is a Pentagram between the Five Rays of which there are Five Heads of Wolves. Five rays = Five Wolf heads = Five members of LOVEBITES. The Pentagram with Five Wolves of LOVEBITES - a protective amulet. 🐺The image on the curtain of 5 heads of Wolves, and then a Pentagram with 5 heads of Wolves between the rays of a Star, you saw during the intro, before the song 'Thunder Vengeance'. When the ladies created the band, they carefully thought through everything: appearance, musical concept, white dresses, singing songs in English, etc. Their music is rooted in old school metal (New Wave of British Heavy Metal of the 1980s). The White Wolf is the mascot of LOVEBITES. In Japan, the last wolves became extinct more than 100 years ago. In Japanese tradition, the wolf is a protector of people who warned them about natural disasters. For the Japanese, the wolf was not only an animal, but also the embodiment of the spirit of the forest, which helped people. The cover of LOVEBITES' first studio Album, 'Awakening from Abyss' (2017), depicts a Goddess in a white dress and a White Wolf. The idea for the Аlbum cover belongs to Miho (bass), the founder and leader of the band. 🐺Miho also wrote the lyrics and music for the song 'Thunder Vengeance'. The meaning of the title of the Album 'Awakening from Abyss' and its cover: "A Goddess standing on the ruins of a destroyed world preparing to give birth to a new World (the World of Metal)." All Albums, EPs, DVDs/Blu-rays and other releases of LOVEBITES (except the first 'The Lovebites EP') feature an image of a Wolf (or Wolves). This symbolizes that by playing a non-mainstream metal genre, LOVEBITES are the Lone Wolf of the modern metal scene. LOVEBITES are the Wolves defending the traditions of old school heavy metal. They try to preserve the best that the great metal bands of the 1980s and 1990s created. And give new life to metal, developing the traditions of the old school of heavy metal. In 2021, LOVEBITES released a Live Album (Blu-ray/DVD/2×CD) called 'Heavy Metal Never Dies' 🐺Fans of LOVEBITES in different countries of the world call themselves the WolfPack. 'Five of a Kind' is the strongest combination of cards in poker (4 cards of the same value + Joker). Сard combination = 4 Aces + Wolf (Joker) is depicted on the cover of 'Five of a Kind - Live in Tokyo 2020' (Blu-ray/DVD/2×CD). This means that LOVEBITES become strong and able to protect the tradition of heavy metal when the five members of the band come together 🐺P.S. You have already reacted to the song 'Holy War' from the Album 'Electric Pentagram'. The song 'Holy War' has the words: We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers ... We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters ... We are one for all and all for one forevermore ... Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal ...

Miyako is a big Kirk Hammett fan, so no doubt the wah pedal will be part of her repertoire. As long as she doesn't abuse it like Kirk does, it is a nice change of pace sometimes. 🤘🐺🤘
The existential question is: is Lovebites one of the best metal bands ever or is it the best metal band ever? I agree with both statements! Nice reaction, BTW... Thank you and best wishes from Bulgaria, Europe!🤘🐺
The triplets in this song are ridiculously pristine. So good, one of my favorites by them! Well, I love all of their songs...you have a long way to go! Can I suggest Liar live from 2023 KAHG's show ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YWHPfnJz2qk.htmlsi=V8G9786ZTJsouRyJ. Not reacted to much and is incredible, imho. A very melodic, yet riffy song which in my opinion separates them from other heavy metal bands; their shredding yet melodic playing style is top level. Liar opens with Asami doing an A capella...wonderful. Great reaction guys!
How about giving the drummer some air time "LOVEBITES Haruna all 4' 9"of her giving her drum kit what for, drum cam "Raise Some Hell" DRUM VIDEO ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9Rpb1WCayIs.html""
Their musicianship is great, but still not my cup of tea! Speed Metal is just that, speed! I can appreciate the skills, just can't take the assault! Thanks Guys!
'Thunder Vengeance' is thrash metal. 😊Speed is also there. If you listen to 'Thunder Vengeance' 5-6 times, then perhaps your opinion will change and you will like the song. 🤔Especially if you listen to LOVEBITES with good headphones.
