And yet you know that NEITHER Haruna or Asami were upset. Rather, they both actually ENJOYED being pushed further. That's simply because it increases the band's talent/sound as a whole. In EXACTLY the same way that Miyako and Midori have always used their contrasting styles of playing to push each other to greater heights. Just my own personal opinion anyway.
Watching the ladies interact on camera with audience shows more about their charismatic personalities. I like how Midori and Miyako always support each other. Fami is a living doll. Lovebites is adorable, amazing, on so many levels.
How could anybody on the planet not Love these Metal Goddesses..Talent,Skill, and Creativity beyond most mortals, and Beauty beyond compare.. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Absolutely mind blowing what these ladies have created on this new album. This should definitely gain more recognition worldwide for them, and there should be a world tour to follow, because they are a world class band.
Without a doubt the best song on the album, Miyako demonstrating that as a composer she is genial, taking Asami to the limit on the vocals, and what can we say about Midori, Haruna and Fami, thunderous and virtuous
I like seeing them as they are when not on stage, in their natural beauty🥰 Especially Haruna the timekeeper, what a cutie! and Midori, OMG!!! They're all otherworldly gifted in both beauty and talent!
The very energetic and astounding closing song!! The speed of the song is amazing, but the high pitched singing voice is also amazing. 1:48 already high from the "A" melody (= Verse 1) 2:48 Asami and Haruna pretend to grow horns with their fingers. This gesture jokingly represents an angry oni (Japanese demon) 👿.
The live stream for the new album release was the cutest thing ever! ☺ Everyone was having fun, and the chat was going crazy! Thanks for the video with English translations!
LOVE THIS BAND!!!!! Absolutely an amazing group of talented, professional, metal musicians. LOVEBITES are now the carriers of the metal flame for me. Haruna has made my all time list of best of the best bad ass metal drummers. HARUNA, YOU ROCK \m/
To me Haruna sounds a bit like Paul Bostaph as well as a bit like Dave Lombardo, but with her own unique style. And then this song to me leaves Paul Bostaph out the mix (no disrespect intended for Paul Bostaph) and instead sounds a bit like Dave Lombardo and Tim 'The Missile' Yeung, while again with Haruna's own unique style. And the comparison to Dave and Tim and Paul is meant as a compliment, since my opinion is that those are 3 of the greatest Metal drummers of all time. And I personally think that Haruna is on the same level as them, because she is that skilled/talented. All the ladies in Lovebites are extremely talented, I simply mention only the drumming simply due to the fact that drummers are far too often overlooked/not mentioned, which I think is unfair. But regardless, yet another perfect example of what Heavy Metal SHOULD sound like, as well as the fact that Lovebites not only sets the bar for Heavy Metal but they ARE the bar. Just my own personal opinion anyway.
Lovebites have been one of my absolute favourite bands for the last 6 years. I bought a copy of Awakening at a convention on a whim and was blown away. Following the departure of Miho I'd honestly been nervous to listen to anything by them, knowing what she brought to the band. 2 months after its release I finally listened to Judgement Day. I've now been listening to this song for a solid 2 hours. Shadow Maker, Empty Daydream, Swan Song...this joins the ranks of those songs that have immediately grabbed me, and forced home the fact that one person doesn't make Lovebites. As a unit, they're incredible no matter what happens. Tl;dr - This song is fucking incredible.
indeed, her compositions are very chaotic but beneath is the asymmetric balance created by the ingenuity and execution of these accomplished musicians. This composition I reckon is a piano root composition and with Miyako being multi intrumental including the drums, she has great skill in manipulating time signature dynamics, making this a complex composition. She is definitely a F genius and a lifelong learning musician/composer slated for the gallery of the greats!🤟🤟
@zainalabidin ramli 100% agree, her music writing ability is scary AF. I'm no musician, but having the physical prowess to play heavy metal instruments and the brains to think like a classical composer has to be a lethal combination.
I love this band so much. The reason they create such amazing metal is that they really love the music. My only complaint is that Haruna is too humble. Fast? Try blistering. This band has set a new standard in quality speed metal.
Haruna has two speeds on drums: Fast, and FASTER. And yet there's absolutely no arrogance from her, but rather humility. She doesn't have to mention a single word about how skilled she is, rather Haruna simply lets her drumming speak for her. And the exact same thing can be said about the other ladies in the band. They all let their talents speak for them.
Thank you for this. The ladies were so goofy in the live stream. This is also my fav track on the album. In fact, it's getting very close to becoming my all-time fav track from Lovebites

Basslines in the vein of Watchtower (check out e.g. "Control and Resistance" or the instrumental "M-Theory Overture") or Sieges Even (check out the song "Las Palabras Secreto De Libertad (Repression and Resistance)") would already be fine for me.
