This summer, the power metal band LOVEBITES are returning to Europe for a tour, during which they will perform in Austria, Hungary, Poland and Czechia for the first time. The Japanese metal band will soon release their fifth studio album, Outstanding Power, which Napalm Records will internationally release.

LOVEBITES, formed in 2016, quickly made a name for themselves in the metal scene with their first releases, including their debut EP in May 2017, which was followed up by their debut album Awakening from Abyss in October 2017 and their mini-album Battle Against Damnation in the summer of 2018. Their performances at major festivals like Wacken Open Air and Bloodstock Open Air in 2018 cemented their reputation with their lightning-fast guitar solos, symphonic elements and technical precision. Over the years, they have toured the world, released several more albums, and, earlier this year, signed a deal with Napalm Records for international releases, excluding Asia.
