On May 8, 2026– Japanese metal quintet; LOVEBITES released their new single “Reaper’s Lullaby” and announced that their new album Outstanding Power is out via Napalm Records. The single has a haunting yet beautiful atmospheric tone to it representing the songs title. “Reaper’s Lullaby” is a metaphorical single that expresses a gentle death or could be seen as being pulled from a soft sleep into something more chaotic and filled with destruction

“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.” – LOVEBITES

“Unlike the solid ground of land, the sea never offers stability. Yet a ship pushes forward across its surface, never yielding to the crashing waves, raging storms, or roaring thunder. It was with this sense of overwhelming power that we created a truly one-of-a-kind album—something only we could bring into the world. We hope metalheads everywhere will draw strength from the songs contained in Outstanding Power, and we look forward to setting sail together aboard the ship called LOVEBITES!” – LOVEBITES
