Support member Miyako became a full member of the band in August 2017. The EP was released in the United Kingdom on August 25 by JPU Records and in North America by Sliptrick Records on August 31.
It was mixed by Mikko Karmila and mastered by Mika Jussila, who have worked with acts like Nightwish, Children of Bodom, and Stratovarius, at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland.
Miho explained that it was more of a demo to get the band signed, but the label liked it so much they had it properly mastered and released. Lovebites released their debut EP, The Lovebites EP, in May 2017 via Victor Entertainment. They had previously performed a secret gig at Shibuya O-Crest on August 4, 2016, under the pseudonym "POWERSLAVES". For the show, they were supported by third guitarist Sena. They had their first concert on November 18, 2016, at Tsutaya O-West as part of the Girls Band Next Generation event. Feeling that the song fit well with Asami's voice, it left an impression on all of the members and they chose Lovebites as the name for their new band. During one rehearsal, the musicians performed " Love Bites (So Do I)" by Halestorm. Midori was in the band Gekijo Metalicche, Miyako was a member of A Drop of Joker and 21g, while Asami was a backup singer for Vamps and Uverworld. After recruiting guitarist Midori and support guitarist and keyboardist Miyako (then known as Mi-Ya), the four chose vocalist Asami based on a demo she made. The two met while members of Destrose, another all-female metal band that disbanded in 2015. Lovebites was formed in Tokyo in 2016 by bassist Miho and drummer Haruna. History Formation and first album (2016–2017) Lovebites played their first concert at Tsutaya O-West in November 2016. It is their highest-charting record to date, reaching number 5 on both the Oricon and Billboard Japan charts. After a year-long hiatus, Lovebites recruited Fami on bass and released Judgement Day, their fourth album, in February 2023. Following the releases of Electric Pentagram (2020) and Glory, Glory, to the World (2021), bassist Miho left the band in August 2021. With another EP and album released in 2018, Battle Against Damnation and Clockwork Immortality, Lovebites quickly garnered international attention and won that year's Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best New Band. After signing to Victor Entertainment, the group released both their debut EP and their first album in 2017, The Lovebites EP and Awakening from Abyss, before performing their first overseas concerts at the end of the year. Its lineup currently consists of Haruna on drums, Midori and Miyako on guitar, Asami on vocals, and Fami on bass. Lovebites (stylized as LOVEBITES) is a Japanese power metal band, formed in 2016 by former Destrose members Miho and Haruna.
