Lovebites Debuts New Music Video “Reaper’s Lullaby”

Their impressive show at the legendary Budokan in Tokyo just behind them, Japanese power metal quintet Lovebites are ready for the worldwide physical release of their new album, Outstanding Power, with a new video for “Reaper’s Lullaby”. The song ventures into rougher territory: not only do Lovebites harshen their sound to be reminiscent of thrash metal, but they also add gang shouts to enhance the stirring character. Delightfully fast, “Reaper’s Lullaby” repeats its lyrics to burn in their meaning, giving the words significant weight and turning the song into another standout showing Lovebites’ versatile skills. The accompanying album, “Outstanding Power,” is out today, Friday, May 8, 2026, via Napalm Records – find physical formats below!

Additionally, the band will embark on a European and UK tour in July and August this year in support of the album, including a festival appearance at Germany’s legendary Wacken Open Air. Tickets are on sale now via “Lovebites.jp”, and you can find the full list of dates below.

Lovebites about “Reaper’s Lullaby”:
“While our music is fundamentally rooted in power metal, we embrace a wide range of musical styles. Among them, ‘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. The music video also stays true to the song’s image, depicting us performing within a circle formed by candles, resulting in a dark visual presentation that differs from previous Lovebites music videos. We invite you to fully experience the dark side of Lovebites.”
