Thunderous drums and squealing guitars introduce <em>Winds Of Transylvania<\/em> and ensure it arrives amid an explosion of pyrotechnics that sprays glistening shards in every direction. It\u2019s an exciting tune that captures something of Iron Maiden in their 1980s prime&#8230;only LOVEBITES play faster and with much more technical prowess. In Midori and Miyako the band have a pair of guitarists who can rival metal\u2019s best with the former pulling some impossible sounds from her guitar whilst the latter teases equally magic solos from her V-Neck.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LOVEBITES \/ Winds Of Transylvania  [VLADLOVE Version]  MUSIC VIDEO\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HsE4Ub_Pjh8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The video for <em>Winds Of Transylvania<\/em> eschews LOVEBITES\u2019 usual slick presentation for a more grainy, darker vibe and it works rather well. Through a camera lens filtered with a purple hue, we find vocalist Asami (with suitably blood-red lips) delivering a spirited performance. Usually moving with the grace of a swan she now flaps her skirt like a pair of bat wings and delivers vocals that soar like a succubus beneath which drummer Haruna and bassist Miho gallop in triple time. Interspersed with scenes from the anime there\u2019s a real cinematic nature to <em>Winds Of Transylvania<\/em> and the unbridled dynamism that LOVEBITES bring make it the perfect accompaniment to <em>VladLove<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>While many bands tend to stagnate around their second and third albums LOVEBITES are finding new ways to push their sound forward. Not only a great theme for <em>VladLove<\/em>, <em>Winds Of Transylvania<\/em> promises much for the band&#8217;s forthcoming EP Glory, <em>Glory To The World<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If (like me) your main obsessions are heavy metal and anime then you\u2019re in for a treat because Tokyo quintet LOVEBITES have provided the theme tune for the new Ichigo Animation series VladLove.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":51831,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"source_name":"","source_url":"","via_name":"","via_url":"","override_template":"0","override":[{"template":"1","single_blog_custom":"","parallax":"1","fullscreen":"1","layout":"right-sidebar","sidebar":"default-sidebar","second_sidebar":"default-sidebar","sticky_sidebar":"1","share_position":"top","share_float_style":"share-monocrhome","show_share_counter":"1","show_view_counter":"1","show_featured":"1","show_post_meta":"1","show_post_author":"1","show_post_author_image":"1","show_post_date":"1","post_date_format":"default","post_date_format_custom":"Y\/m\/d","show_post_category":"1","show_post_reading_time":"0","post_reading_time_wpm":"300","show_zoom_button":"0","zoom_button_out_step":"2","zoom_button_in_step":"3","show_post_tag":"1","show_prev_next_post":"1","show_popup_post":"1","number_popup_post":"1","show_author_box":"0","show_post_related":"0","show_inline_post_related":"0"}],"override_image_size":"0","image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"crop-500","single_post_gallery_size":"crop-500"}],"trending_post":"0","trending_post_position":"meta","trending_post_label":"Trending","sponsored_post":"0","sponsored_post_label":"Sponsored by","sponsored_post_name":"","sponsored_post_url":"","sponsored_post_logo_enable":"0","sponsored_post_logo":"","sponsored_post_desc":""},"jnews_primary_category":{"id":"3073"},"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[3073,2976],"tags":[5905,5966,5806],"class_list":["post-51827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-reviews","category-all-reviews","tag-heavy-metal","tag-lovebites","tag-metal-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/67"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51827"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51827\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51841,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51827\/revisions\/51841"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
