Electric Pentagram  Electric Pentagram is the third studio album by Japanese heavy metal band Lovebites. The album was released in Japan on January 29, 2020 by Victor Entertainment, and in the United Kingdom two days later by JPU Records. Red River Entertainment released it in North America on April 24, 2020. It reached number 9 on the Oricon chart and number 23 on "Billboard Japan". Lovebites were very busy in the first half of 2019; the Japanese tour for their second album "Clockwork Immortality" (2018) started in January, they opened for Arch Enemy in China in March, and in June performed at Download Festival in both the UK and Spain and at Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium. Pre-production for their third album began during the tour for "Clockwork Immortality". Guitarist and keyboardist Miyako said she wrote songs from the end of 2018 to March 2019, worked on arranging them from March to May, and began recording the drums in June 2019. As usual, she started writing before the rest of the band and as a result composed the music for half of the songs on the album. The music for the remaining songs was composed by other members with their frequent collaborator, Light Bringer keyboardist Mao. During their overseas performances, bassist Miho and vocalist Asami stayed in the hotel rooms to write lyrics. For recording, Miyako mainly used a Dean USA Icon guitar and a Peavey amplifier. Midori mainly uses ESP E-II Horizon guitars and a Kemper Power Rack. The latter allows her to reproduce any amplifier sound she wants at any recording studio with a Kemper by simply bringing a USB with it preset. This album marks the first time Midori used eight-finger tapping on record. The album title "Electric Pentagram" is meant to mean that Lovebites are "protecting heavy metal," as pentagrams are associated with amulets used for protection, and the five points of the pentagram represent the five members of the band. Miyako added that before the album was released people were asking if it was going to be pop due to the band's increasing popularity, so the title is meant to assure metal fans. Like all of their releases, it was mixed by Mikko Karmila and mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland. Also returning, The EasyRabbit CreArtions, a duo of Spanish artists David López Gómez and Carlos Vincente León, provided the cover art of a wolf and a pentagram.
