The Encore Is Over
Twin guitar, leftover red, a PA that has not gone cold — 2010s Japanese power metal and hard rock as one sitting.
Listen
Japanese power metal · 日本のパワーメタル
Japanese 2010s power metal and hard rock as one listen: dual-lead sprint, riff gait, theatrical afterimage, keys. Not 80s thunder, not a Metal Opera. Same lane throughout — stay with it and see if the PA still answers after the encore. LOVEBITES is the door most people already know in this weather; the rest of the hour stays in that climate. Listen in order. The names below are the variations inside the lane.
- Power — Twin guitar, high vocal, a sprint that still sounds like the set.
- Hard — Riff-rock gait. Less pageantry, still a chorus.
- Theatrical — Stage leftover. The hour keeps a ghost of the lights.
- Keys — Neo-classical night. Arrangement as weather, not another sprint.

Curator Notes · キュレーターノート
LOVEBITES is the door — Tokyo, 2016, dual leads and a sprint. This sit stays in 2010s Japanese power metal and hard rock: BAND-MAID for the gait, GALNERYUS for the keys, Mary’s Blood for the theatrical room. Listen in order. If nothing clicks, the encore wasn’t yours.
Why these cuts
- 01 · LOVEBITES — The Hammer of Wrath
Opener has to still be the set. 4:41 thrash-leaning power metal, no fade-in — the riff LOVEBITES walk on with, still ringing. Leftover heat, not an encore last riff. Leaves a floor so DOMINATION can arrive as a gait change.
- 02 · BAND-MAID — DOMINATION
First no-twin-guitar pageantry. WORLD DOMINATION studio 3:53, riff-rock. Proves the lane can move without LOVEBITES. Cannot follow with another BAND-MAID or the three clump.
- 03 · Mary’s Blood — Marionette
First Mary’s Blood, theatrical mid-fast, Countdown to Evolution 4:54. Stage ghost after the gait — not Counter Strike, not the march. Cannot follow with another Mary’s Blood or the two clump.
- 04 · BAND-MAID — After Life
Second BAND-MAID, Unseen World / 2020 single 3:24. Later production than DOMINATION so the walk is a band, not one album. Tighter punch. Then the sit can drop into keys.
- 05 · GALNERYUS — Temptation Through the Night
First GALNERYUS. Angel of Salvation studio 6:11, keys and mid-tempo. Longest cut until the closer. Night as arrangement, not another riff-walk. Title does the weather.
- 06 · Mary’s Blood — Campanula
Second and last Mary’s Blood. Campanula 5:38, same CTE album as Marionette, different register — sustain, not another sprint. Then leave her catalog.
- 07 · LOVEBITES — Don't Bite the Dust (Awakened Version)
Second LOVEBITES, Awakened Version 4:14, not the EP cut. Gallop, easier than Hammer of Wrath. Same door, different heat. Cannot follow with another LOVEBITES or the three clump.
- 08 · GALNERYUS — Hunting for Your Dream
Anthem, 5:24 album cut — not the 5:04 single, not the 1:21 TV size. Bigger chorus than Don’t Bite the Dust so the hour peaks here. Then the sit needs a gait, not a third power-metal chorus.
- 09 · BAND-MAID — endless Story
Third BAND-MAID, CONQUEROR 3:45. Groove after the anthem. Third album so WORLD DOMINATION is not the whole walk. Last of the gait. A punch this late cannot close; the sit still needs a dissolve.
- 10 · LOVEBITES — Swan Song
Third and last LOVEBITES. Electric Pentagram 2020 studio 6:29. Lower heat than Hammer of Wrath or Don’t Bite the Dust. Bookend: sprint in, swan song out. Not another Awakening from Abyss cut, and not a lament after it.
