Japan's most powerful all-female metal quintet are ready to take over the world. LOVEBITES — fresh off their debut at the legendary Budokan in Tokyo — have released their new album Outstanding Power today via Napalm Records, alongside a dark and electric new video for "Reaper's Lullaby."

"Reaper's Lullaby" ventures into rougher territory — a thrash-infused, 240 BPM beast with tremolo riffs, gang shouts, and an atmosphere colder than the void. The video, shot with candles forming a circle around the band, is a visual departure from their previous work. The band explains:
"'Reaper's Lullaby' can be described as a fast and brutal track at 240 BPM, featuring tremolo riffs that convey a cold, chilling atmosphere and distill one of the most aggressive facets of LOVEBITES' musical identity... We invite you to fully experience the dark side of LOVEBITES."
Founded in 2016 and celebrating their 10th anniversary as a band, LOVEBITES have earned recognition at Metal Hammer UK's Golden Gods Awards and have played stages at Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, Graspop Metal Meeting, Download Festival, and Bloodstock Open Air. Outstanding Power is their Napalm Records debut, and it's exactly what it claims to be.
The band will return to Europe and the UK this summer for a headline tour, including a festival appearance at Germany's legendary Wacken Open Air.
