With their fifth studio album “Outstanding Power” releasing in Europe through Napalm Records on May 8, LOVEBITES are more than ready to continue with a new chapter in their music. The album is not the only musical milestone for the five metal women either, since they also played the famous Nippon Budokan stage for the first time ever last March!

More than enough reasons to invite vocalist Asami for an interview to learn a little more about their new album and their current ideas regarding their music!
