Nice reaction sir.. what makes Lovebites special is their music is full of technically heavy material based on their references, but they arranged with kinda easy catchy and tasty melodic and vocal lines.. and that what's fulfilled our desire in metal today....
Thanks for this. Concerning 'more Haruna' ... I will venture to say that we see more of Haruna, and in particular HER FEET, in "Soldier Stands Solitarily" LIVE than in all songs of all previous LIVE concerts COMBINED ! I'm not joking! I have them all and have watched them all many, many times. I believe the above to be a true statement. Victor has finally 'caught on' to her talent & POPULARITY!! "Soul Defender" lyric-Music-Video is excellent in every way, musically, lyrically, visually, it conveys LOVEBITES' essence. My drum-program 'only' goes to 208 bpm. Seemed about just right! 🐺 dreg👁
„LOVEBITES EP II“ is fire 🔥 „Where’s identity“, „The bell in the jail“ and „Someone’s dream“ are killer tracks. I like them even more than the two with a MV. They are definitely worth to be checked out. I highly recommend reacting to the audio versions!
I remembered Iron Maiden (THE•TLOOPER). Of course, you can't compare these two songs. However, LOVEBITES (SOUL•DEFENDER) was not inferior to THE•TLOOPER. Because this song "SOUL•DEFENDER" is very powerful. There was a melody of LOVEBITES there. The English subtitles are also very cool, and the video composition is also very innovative. From now on, LOVEBITES has begun to expand into the world.🤘😎
Yes, I am noticing Haruna too, she puts so much energy into this song. Every beat is so clear and distinct. While Lovebites has to constantly evolve without abandoning themselves, they truly have added some dynamic songs with a powerful punch in this new Lovebites era.
This is another song that grabbed me from the first listen, really like it! Just love how the song flows and awesome solo! 🤘🔥 Lovebites yet again, releases another fantastic song, really looking forward for the rest of the EP! RC random fact for ya, both Unchained and Soul Defender have harmonies solos only, no individual solos, rare for Lovebites!
@@RockCandy-ix3nn It feels to me that Lovebites tend to use their EP's to experiment with stuff. Then on the next full album they use some of those ideas that worked well on the EP. 🙂
@@RockCandy-ix3nn Hey RC, the new Lovebites EP just dropped yesterday. There are 3 new songs but sadly there is no video. I know audio only is not as exciting but if you want to react to it here are the links Where's Identity (Miyako, Asami) - ruclips.net/video/j2miHR2YwT0/видео.htmlsi=gxqK2IUpyLP9dwyy Bell in the Jail (Asami, Mao) - ruclips.net/video/CsSSkGZ15WM/видео.htmlsi=cH4teOVuSJ2VItsf Someone's Dream (Miyako, Asami) - ruclips.net/video/ocVKZL0s5Bo/видео.htmlsi=PRDCMpblnqTGhOzg I put the song writing credits in brackets, and all links are from their official channel I really enjoy the whole EP, once again the ladies delivered! I hope you enjoy it too! 🤘🙂🔥
Good analysis again, I love the energy of the song and I noticed as well the drums seemed to be more prominent in the mix. I also noticed layering in some of Asami's vocals, which I haven't heard much of in the past. Great rocking tune! 🤘🐺🤘
As always, Lovebites sometimes come out with different format (no trade solos). I'm okay with that and I think this song is written for 'live' occasion (maybe replacing Hammer of Wrath as opener). Easy lyrics for shout along audiences. Harder, faster & louder. Nice reaction
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!

A bit late here. The BPM on this song is 210bpm!! Only 9 days until I see them in Dallas. Will you be there too? Hope you are able to catch them on their First US Tour.

Great review and analysis as usual ! This track is an innovative blend of speed-power/thrash metal, and I too am waiting for them to play this LIVE.

Love this song #SoulDefender is a fantastic song! #Lovebites
The first soloes sounded like early sixties stuff like Telstar. I love it.
This is another song that grabbed me from the first listen, really like it! Just love how the song flows and awesome solo! 🤘🔥

Great catch! Maybe no so random? We will see. Thanks!

Since the beginning Lovebites has been releasing the same format, first is a 4 to 5 song EP then they release a full-length album
Good analysis again, I love the energy of the song and I noticed as well the drums seemed to be more prominent in the mix. I also noticed layering in some of Asami's vocals, which I haven't heard much of in the past. Great rocking tune! 🤘🐺🤘
Midori💚💚💚💚💚
Think you could safely describe that as a " Gallop " !

Hammer of Wrath is WAY BETTER as an opener!
Yes, I hear Haruna up in the mix here and in Unchained with a stronger focus on the snare.
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
