Welcome to the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their five years of existence as a band, they set a standard that easily puts them on a par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels sent to save us, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. Whatever the description, I think one can say they have given metal a badly needed makeover and maybe a new lease on life. They have themselves said that part of their mission is to save heavy metal from darkness and obscurity. 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 soul of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the greatest 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 bands. The whole group then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she also trained in ballet). Miyako has composed most 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. They studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. 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. This is one of their usual first songs for reactors, and rightly so--you get a good sense of the band. 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 a demon). 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." Here are more clips you should check out: Their most recently posted live clips, “Set the World on Fire” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-99zsH6iG_6c.html and “Don’t Bite the Dust” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oHnKGEj1CMc.html, which are both from their recently released concert DVD “Heavy Metal Never Dies”. "Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sl0-U-ykJCU.html 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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lXh_uMM94jU.html. Miyako is also a professional-level classical concert pianist, and was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up 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”. Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WBhtqgiXEA4.html. For a thrasher with heavy Metallica vibes, “Break the Wall” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G021aP2ao6Y.html includes two gorgeous and completely contrasting solos by M&M. For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1ynnXDfEnnY.html (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both) Finally, while you will sometimes hear you should only react to live clips, actually their MV’s are epic and worth seeing. Here are three of the most spectacular: "When Destinies Align" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hLFelI93VkM.html "Glory to the World" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--wJtD2XEXH4.html "Winds of Transylvania" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HsE4Ub_Pjh8.html. 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!
Welcome to the wolf pack, by the way your accent is perfect. You have opened Pandora's box of the best metal music to come out since the early nineties. ENJOY the ride 🐺🤘👍

LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics: Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood People live in fear, covered in mud Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters There is a thousand, a thousand of evils Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and all for one forevermore Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall Reincarnation, wait for your call Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters Morning star and dying moon Into the Gates of Hell we march Mighty soul, let there be hope Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal What do we live for?What do we fight for, tonight? But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and all for one forevermore What do we live for?What do we fight for, tonight? But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war ----- lyrics: LOVEBITES music: Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
Great first reaction…. You know talent when you hear it. Trust us when we tell you that this is the standard they play at each and every time. Asami is a truly remarkable vocalist. She sings at that intensity for 90% of a two hour show, and can hold notes higher and longer than that one even at the very end of a show. Best band in existence. Period. And please, don’t apologise for either your accent or your command of English. You are multi lingual… that’s a talent in itself! I suspect that your native language is French (I apologise if I’m wrong) but your English is far better than the vast majority of the people watching this’ French I can assure you…🙂
Aww thank you so much for your so kind comment, you're so nice! 🥰 Honestly, to me this band was like a love at first sight, I love their style, music and charm! I subscribed to their channel, but I'm not gonna listen at any of their song before listening to it with all of you on RU-vid 😜 And Yep, you got it right, I'm French, good deduction! 👌 Thank you again, so much, for what you said about my english, it means a lot! 🐺🥰
(a little bit late) Viyctoriya, glad you discovered and loved Lovebites - they are one of my very favorite bands. And, by the way: your English is great, and your accent is perfectly pleasant and understandable!
Welcome to magical world of metal band, Lovebites. You will get shocked and respect of these talented ladies. Such a phenomenal band to date. Nice reaction sis.
LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics (French): Regarde ces nuages noirs, il va pleuvoir du sang Les gens vivent dans la peur, couverts de boue Chanter oh Gloria pour changer la prophétie Nous sommes les guerriers du métal Combattre les ténèbres pour les sœurs Il y a mille, mille maux Chut, ne réveille pas les démons de Satan Chanter Hallelujah pour sauver notre majesté Nous sommes les guerriers du métal Combattre les ténèbres pour les frères Lame brillante et cœur brûlant Aux portes de l'enfer nous marchons Âme immortelle, que la lumière soit Dans l'oeil du ciel Aigles en guerre sainte Volez plus haut que le soleil Nous sommes un pour tous et tous pour un pour toujours Royaume des cieux, nous ne tomberons jamais Réincarnation, attend ton appel Chanter oh, Gloria pour changer la prophétie Nous sommes les guerriers du métal Combattre les ténèbres pour les sœurs Étoile du matin et lune mourante Aux portes de l'enfer nous marchons Âme puissante, qu'il y ait de l'espoir Dans l'oeil du ciel Aigles en guerre sainte Volez plus haut que le soleil Lève-toi au nom du Dieu du heavy metal Quoi vivons-nous pour? Pourquoi nous battons-nous, ce soir? Mais le monde est beau, ça vaut le coup de se battre N'ai qu'une seule chose en tête Face au destin, guerre sainte Chanter Hallelujah pour sauver notre majesté Nous sommes les guerriers du métal Combattre les ténèbres pour les frères Lame brillante et cœur brûlant Aux portes de l'enfer nous marchons Âme immortelle, que la lumière soit Dans l'oeil du ciel Aigles en guerre sainte Volez plus haut que le soleil Nous sommes un pour tous et pour un pour toujours Pourquoi vivons-nous? Pourquoi nous battons-nous ce soir? Mais le monde est beau, ça vaut le coup de se battre N'ai qu'une seule chose en tête Face au destin, guerre sainte
here's a more ballad style that starts with One of the guitarists Miyako on Piano before she gets back on guitar she does most the piano work for the band as well as lead and rhythm guitar. Both Midori and Miyako are also great on acoustic guitars. Here's Edge of the World ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UZjxMjBop7w.html

Thank you for the reaction. Lovebites is one of the best bands! I hope you will react to other their songs. If you want more heavy you should try "Set the world on fire", if you want more melodic - try "Edge of the world". Every their song is different and every song is amazing Thanks again!

Japanese GIRLS BAND is 30 years ago HARD Rock, SHOW-YA, POP Rock, princess princess. It started with Japan is, The best in the world It has become a country with many GIRLS BANDs. Now, HARD Metal GIRLS BAND 10 groups are famous、
I'm Japanese . There is no singer who has both beauty and good singing like Su-Metal (the lead singer of Babymetal) 'in Japan' , I think . She is 24years old now . She belongs to the biggest entertainment company in Japan and is a famous singer and talent from when a child . When you have a hard time , you should listen 'no rain no rainbow' by BABYMETAL . Your soul would be fulfilled by the God blessing , I think .
Hello dear, your English is remarkable and very fluent so no worries there and speaking of gorgeous yes they are and you as well are gorgeous. Your true facial expression speaks louder than words, and it has said plenty for me, thank you for checking out Lovebites the only band I love to listen to on a continuous basis.

I don't know if you're going to read this, but I have a small suggestion, if I may be impertinent. When you do video editing, if you place the frame of the video that you are reacting to in the same direction that you are looking, it is more comfortable for the viewer. I mean, for anyone watching your video, you're looking to the right, a little bit down. But the original video frame is on the opposite left side. The viewer's gaze is led to the right side, where there is nothing. It's the kind of thing that a lot of people aren't even aware of, but it makes a difference. You can experience it yourself.
Thank you for your suggestion 😉, I'm not sure if I will be able to make any difference but I will try to see what I can do to improve the video so it's more comfortable 😊 (it won't be before next week tho because I have already recorded all my reactions for all the week that's coming 👀) Thanks again, it really helps! 🥰

@@viyctoriyareacts thanks next if you had the chance you can react band maid song domination live or nemiphila song oiran live all female japanese band thanks gurl 😍
Do not worry about about the language you speak better at English as a second language than I do French 😉. Asami sings in English even though she is Japanese. You are in good company!! Good reaction 😎🤟
Maybe you might like "Voice of Baceprot" 3 Indonesian Muslim girls who play Metal/Rock music with a strong message. Their latest official Video is NOT Public Property and has a great message, they have played in France last year. Your English is fine don't apologise, I cant even speak another language.
@@viyctoriyareacts VOB is amazing. In metal we are all brothers and sisters wherever we come from or what age we are. i really suggest VOB's song: God, Allow Me to Play Music. Strong message on that one! I can also suggest Arka'n from Togo Africa with their song Tears of the dead and the band from India Bloodywood/ Dana Dan. That is a metal song against rapist!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop the solo?????Get yourself together, Pull yourself together...OMG...Many...many peoples know this band best heavy nowadays.Yeah ,good job...ha,ha its amazing job ! Listen more ....and maybe ...we talk...
If you're in the United States you can take all that stuff off sweetheart and show your hair to everybody nobody's going to attack you or anything because you show your hair always think the girls are uncomfortable that wear all that stuff
Jewel box, hotel California they're three girls from Indonesia and Braceprot they're good 😊 I really admire them because they like our music enough to learn how to play it sing it that's fantastic
Your English is better than some Native Speakers!! LOL Thanks for the reaction LoveBites RULES No better Female Metal Band in the world !!!! You should also check out Band-Maid and Nemophila, 2 more Awesome Japanese ALL FEMALE bands. Nemophila is a bit heavier, .... Band-Maid is Hard Rock at its finest, with surprises around every corner !!! Hard time picking my favorite...so I pick ALL THREE LOL Cheers
Oh thank youuu, that's so nice of you 🥰 You're right! Don't hesitate to throw all your favorite songs/bands at me, I'm here for it! It may take some time, but I will eventually react to them 😉 Do you have any favorite songs from those bands you mentionned that I can start with?
@@viyctoriyareacts first,..so the LoveBites fans don't pummel me for mentioning other bands on LB,s reaction lol ...There is a ton of amazing Japanese all female Rock/Metal bands, I found Babymetal.which isn't all femal but fun.....then LoveBites. as you saw...AMAZING in all ways Lovebites lead me to Band-Maid,....you just have to experience them for yourself. they are one of the 3 . Band-Maid to Nemophila, as I mentioned...ALL of them are crazy good but 3 have stolen my musical Heart....SO FAR. . btw, I am a 57 yrd old Guitarist/Bassist since I was 15 (retired ......currently LOL) who was lucky enough to do quite a few shows, in my time so I feel I know good Hard Rock/Metal music when I hear it. (sorry if that was Arrogant but good rock/metal has been my life's joy. playing and listening) If I was to offer you my advice tonight (which apparently it seems I am lol ) ..after this Holy War reaction..awesome....., please try 'Domination' Live by Band-Maid. then im sure you'll get some Nemophia songs, i just found them so im still learning their songs. Try Band-Maid 'DOMINATION' Official LIVE video, ...on their web page. Their story is part of the love I have for them. together since 2013, and almost breaking up.....,now They literally have over 100 songs, and I have not NOT liked a single one. Their first early song that got noticed on youtube....2 Million views in 2 weeks is 'THRILL' , which saved them.. its also on their page but, just search YT for Band-Maid, it will come up. its good but Domination will show you what they are...3 tears ago. Dressed as Maid they kick serious butt . They range from ballads to full on metal , they mix genres in a truly unique way. its a trip, and sooo god. then other bands...'Wagakki Band' and 'Maximum the Hormone' The list goes on...but Try Domination first ok Thanks, keep going where ever your ears and heart take you. Everyone likes what THEY like. comments get rough sometimes. I say you can love ALL of them. I do . I LOVE LoveBites TOO i gave up trying to pick a fav as I said LOL Thank you for listening, good luck with your channel I subbed And again, your English is REALLY good...honest. Have a good night
@@allanalt8958 Oh waaaw you're lucky to know how to play those instruments, it must have been fun to play and do what you love until you decided to retire! 😄 I put the song you suggested (domination by band-maid) on my list, thanks for suggesting it 😜 I loved reading your comments, so thanks for commenting! 🥰
