LOVEBITES - SOUL DEFENDER - Ryan Mear Reacts 

Ryan, it's the SAME troll we have been discussing. He also impersonated Wave, Old Mr B and at least one other established reactor in the LIVE chat. Anyway, back to the song. This track is an innovative blend of speed-power/thrash metal. Really looking forward to the release of the new EP.

You are so right about Fami. If you pay attention her base line is great through out the whole song

You've been giving great reviews not only to Lovebites but to all the good bands. We all know what you are. You are a great reviewer.

LOVEBITES - Soul Defender lyrics: The horses running fast Through the battlefields It is much faster than light The forces going fast With the metal shields Keep going, ride into the night Never to be broken Justice Justice Overcome your greatest Crisis Crisis Don't be afraid to be someone who defends yourself HERO! Remember Defender Fighting back for your soul inside Remember Forever You are the one Remember Defender Beating down enemies within Remember Forever Stand Up and Shout Forging your sword and shield Live as Soul Defender Riding on the path with a wounded soul Keep going, ride into the night Don't give in to a nasty master Master Defeat your cold-blooded monster Monster Be afraid to be someone else who deceives yourself EVIL! Surrender Deceiver Living somewhere dark inside Surrender Forever You were the damned Surrender Deceiver Turning into a dust within Surrender Forever You're Purified Forging your sword and shield Live as Soul Defender Twin Solo: midori & miyako Never to be broken Justice Justice Overcome your greatest Crisis Crisis Don't be afraid to be someone who defends yourself HERO! Remember Defender Fighting back for your soul inside Remember Forever You are the one Remember Defender Beating down enemies within Remember Forever Stand Up and Shout Forging your sword and shield Live as Soul Defender ----- lyrics: asami music: asami & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES album: LOVEBITES EP II 08/28/2024 -----

Saw them in Europe and waiting again for them in LA.

good job ryan. wave had the same problem.

It's amazing remembering that base line is being played by the 21 year old new member. She really did just fit right in.

What a banger of a song!! Hoping they play this in 3 weeks up in LA. 🤘🤞

Thanks for reacting to new LOVEBITES! This song is a banger, crank it to 11 and rock out!🤘🐺🤘

Finally Fami's headless base!

Great reaction Ryan. Believe it or not I’m infamous enough to have been impersonated by the troll, so I no longer frequent live chat streams. This song has actually been described by some as “Lightweight and commercial”. Seriously?

Loved this.. when the lyrics can speak to my faith and the music and passion of their performance..what that connects.. wow. Thanks for sharing 🥰

ナイスリアクションありがとう！👍LOVEBITES最高！🔥🐺SSSのリアクションもやってほしい

The best metal band ever

Really enjoyed this one, love the pace and flawless transitions! Hell yeah! 🤘

Very solid song and solid reaction. Are you going to Dallas for their show?

Midori💚💚💚💚💚 welcome back ryan!!! I like this better than unchained

Thanks for checking it out Ryan. You are onto something. As spectacular and M&M are, I have long felt that Haruna is the band's secret weapon. She would elevate any band she played in, and just happens to be in a band with four other insanely gifted musicians.

This is a great song. I think I like it more than Unchained, even, though that one's a bit more complex.

⚔️🤟🏻🛡️🐺🛡️🤘🏻⚔️ TEMAZO‼️

so far the first two releases have only harmonizing guitar solos!! which is fine.

Ryan, always love your reviews. Here's mine on this one. I watched the video once, then just listened to the audio. My opinion, this song is more enjoyable without the video. Listen, don't watch, and I think you'll agree. Cheers!

I'm glad you said that about Fami, Miho is a fantastic bassist but it seems like Fami has a lot more skills not saying that Miho couldn`t play that way. It seems like Fami put them on a higher level I`m seeing them in Dallas can`t wait Lovebites!!!! 🤩🤘🐺🔥🎤🎸🎸🎸🥁

🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🐺❤️‍🔥🇯🇵🇮🇹

Something was bothering me about this song and I finally put my finger on it: it sounds much like East Of Eden! But with aggressive guitars instead of violin. The vocal melody could be sung by Akane (the EOE Akane of course 😉). So I looked at the credits and yes: it's a Mao/Asami song. Mao is presently composing for East Of Eden (yes, I know he has been Lovebites collaborator nearly since day one) and maybe his style isn't varied enough between both bands? Anyway, I like (not love) this song EDIT: after a few listen, I love it ...

Reporting the troll is important, but Ryan, you can just block him from your channel. Obviously many trolls have multiple accounts, but you can block them faster than he can make new ones.

ARIGATO for your comment. There are the other japanese bands. Please eatch the next songs {VENGEANCE} by ArkRoyal, {TENKA GOKEN} by HAGANE

Soul defender is a little bit SABATON-ish style... Otherwise totaly awesome.

React to Hagane's Herotime (live version). I would prefer Lovebites with Haruna former band mate Marina but Asami is good.

This video just appeared at the tail end of Lovebites' recent livestream for those of us who were present to witness the premiere of the Memorial for the Warriors Souls performance in full Ryan, complete with trolls polluting the live chat with their brand of stink🦨💩
