Lovebites announce new album ‘Outstanding Power’

LOVEBITES have announced a brand new album!

Titled Outstanding Power, the upcoming record from the Japanese power metal quintet is the follow-up to 2023’s Judgement Day and marks their first release under their new partnership with Napalm Records. The album is available digitally now, with physical formats set for release on May 8th, 2026 via their new label.

Speaking about their new label signing, the band shares, “we are very excited to announce that we have signed a worldwide deal with Napalm Records, excluding Asia. Their roster is filled with metal bands ranging from rising stars to globally successful acts, and even legendary icons respected by all. We are proud to become part of this illustrious history. Together with Napalm Records, whose passion for heavy metal matches our own, we will ensure the success of our upcoming album, Outstanding Power. Stay tuned!”

Continuing to speak about the album itself, the band adds, “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!”

The band have also released the album’s opening track and first single, The Castaway, alongside an official music video.
