🔥NEW UPCOMING ALBUM RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT!🔥
🤘New release from: LOVEBITES – Lovebites EP II (August 28, 2024)🤘
A new LOVEBITES EP II and the latest live work MEMORIAL FOR THE WARRIOR SOULS will be released at once on August 28, 2024.
All of the songs from the latest full-length album Judgement Day which was ranked at position #5 on Oricon weekly chart is made after Fami joined the band, therefore LOVEBITES EP II is the true first work by the current lineup. As its title suggests, this second installment of the band’s 2017 debut, THE LOVEBITES EP, is a truly “LOVEBITES 2.0” album from the band that has continued to update their selves since its debut. While THE LOVEBITES EP featured a photo of a denim battle jacket, the cover art for LOVEBITES EP II features a photo of a white leather jacket in the band’s signature colour, adorned with gold studs and band logo patch, creating a striking impact.
In creating the five completely new songs that will be included, the band listened to their 2017 debut, THE LOVEBITES EP, over and over again. It was a magical work of four simple, yet very different types of songs, each with its own distinct personality, yet somehow consistent when viewed as the EP as a whole. With a renewed sense of that initial impulse, the now grown-up LOVEBITES have succeeded in swallowing the atmosphere of the songs from their debut and creating this work that is unbalanced in a good way, yet miraculously balanced.
The limited edition A comes with the RE-LOVEBITES EP, a 4-song CD re-recorded from THE LOVEBITES EP with the current lineup. (*The English version of “Bravehearted” is used.) The B and C come with a Blu-ray and DVD, respectively, consisting of a music video of the lead track and a making-of video showing the filming of the music video.
On the other hand, the latest live Blu-ray/2DVD/2CD Memorial for the Warrior Souls are a complete recording of the live performance at Showa Women’s University Hitomi Memorial Hall in Tokyo on September 24 during the JUDGEMENT DAY TOUR held last year. The video was edited completely differently from the live-streamed performance on that day, allowing the viewer to see the detailed movements and facial expressions of each member. The live audio has also been mixed by Mikko Karmila and mastered by Mika Jussila at the legendary Finnvox Studio. And it includes five songs from their fourth album Judgment Day that have never been performed live before. The BR & DVD include a bonus one-hour documentary that follows the band on their seven-city tour of Fukuoka, Sendai, Sapporo, Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo, and Yokohama. Fans outside of Tokyo will also be able to relive their memories of the shows.
