LOVEBITES formed in 2016 with vocalist Asami, guitarists Midori and Miyako, bassist Miho and drummer Haruna.  The band’s EP The Lovebites EP was mixed by Mikko Karmila and mastered by Mika Jussila, a team of talented Finnish engineers known for their work with Nightwish, Children of Bodom and Amorphis.  In May 2017 LOVEBITES made their debut and released The Lovebites EP through London’s JPU Records, followed by full length album Awakening From Abyss in October 2017 and had a series of shows in Japan and the UK.

     In 2018 LOVEBITES made their first festival appearance at Vans Warped Tour Japan 2018 Presented by XFLAG, as well as a headline show in June for mini album Battle Against Damnation.  In July they participated in Headstrong Fes.18 organized by ANTHEM, followed by performing at the world’s biggest metal festival Wacken Open Air in Germany and Bloodstock Open Air in the UK.  They also toured Europe with X-ray Touring.  After returning to Japan LOVEBITES completed their second album Clockwork Immortality by the end of the year, and performed at Metal Mania by Red Bull, which also featured LOUDNESS.

     LOVEBITES began 2019 by touring Japan, followed by supporting Arch Enemy on tour in China.  First live album Daughters Of The Dawn: Live In Tokyo 2019 was released in July, recorded at Mynabi Blitz Akasaka in Tokyo in support of Clockwork Immortality.  The same month the band toured festivals, including Download Festival in the UK, Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium, and Download Festival Madrid in Spain.  At Download Festival in the UK, Asami joined HALESTORM on stage to sing “Love Bites (And So Do I)”, the song that gave LOVEBITES their name.  When the band returned to Japan they toured Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka before appearing at Summer Sonic 2019.  They then joined DragonForce for their UK tour in November as special guests.

     In January 2020, the band released third album Electric Pentagram.  It became the band’s first album to enter Japan’s Oricon Top 10 rankings, peaking at number nine.  The band then kicked off tour of Japan in February and released Five Of A Kind: Live In Tokyo 2020 in July, recorded at Zepp DiverCity, which reached number one in the Oricon Music Blu-ray chart.

     In March 2021 they released mini album Glory, Glory, To The World, which reached number ten on the Billboard Japan‘s general chart.  Immediately afterwards the band began the “Ride For Vengeance Tour 2021”, touring four cities across Japan.  In August Miho left the band and it was announced that LOVEBITES would take a break and go on hiatus.  During this period, Heavy Metal Never Dies - Live In Tokyo 2021 was released in the UK as CD and video on demand, featuring the Tokyo show from the Ride For Vengeance Tour 2021, followed by the release of a greatest hits album In The Beginning: The Best Of 2017-2021.

     In April 2022, the band held an audition calling all nationalities, ages, and genders worldwide to find a new bassist.  After a long selection process, Fami joined in October of the same year, leading to LOVEBITES once again being composed of five members.   Followed by the release of their fourth full-length studio album Judgement Day in February 2023 which reached No. 5 of the Oricon Weekly Album Ranking, the band held a come-back show "We Are The Resurrection" over two days in March.  In August, the band released a long-form music video Knockin' At Heaven's Gate - Live In Tokyo 2023, that was recorded live on the first day of the afore-mentioned two shows, and it debuted at No. 1 on both the Music DVD and the Blu-ray Rankings on Oricon respectively.
