Japanese power metal band LOVEBITES have released the official video for their blistering new single “Reaper’s Lullaby,” taken from their brand-new album Outstanding Power, available now via Napalm Records.
The track showcases one of the band’s most aggressive and thrash-influenced offerings to date, charging ahead at a relentless 240 BPM with icy tremolo riffs, gang shouts, and a darker atmosphere than fans have previously seen from the quintet. The accompanying music video embraces that sinister energy, featuring the band performing inside a candle-lit ritual circle.

The release arrives just after the band’s landmark performance at Nippon Budokan, further cementing LOVEBITES’ status as one of Japan’s premier metal exports. Celebrating their tenth anniversary, the band continues expanding internationally with appearances at major European festivals including Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, Graspop Metal Meeting, Download Festival, and Bloodstock Open Air.
According to the band:
“While our music is fundamentally rooted in power metal, we embrace a wide range of musical styles. ‘Reaper’s Lullaby’ can be described as a fast and brutal track featuring tremolo riffs that convey a cold, chilling atmosphere and distill one of the most aggressive facets of LOVEBITES’ musical identity.”
