LOVEBITES' New Song to Feature in Upcoming Series VLADLOVE from Anime Masterminds Mamoru Oshii and Junji Nishimura

Popular heavy metal band LOVEBITES have today announced that a new song entitled “Winds Of Transylvania” will be their first to feature in anime. The Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards winning band will be in charge of the opening theme song for VLADLOVE, a new series from highly acclaimed, visionary directors Mamoru Oshii and Junji Nishimura.

VLADLOVE is a new, original work from Mamori Oshii, the world-famous animation director behind Ghost in the Shell and Patlabor, and Junji Nishimura of Ranma 1/2 and You’re Under Arrest fame. The pair created a huge impression on Japanese pop culture when they worked on the iconic anime Urusei Yatsura together in the 1980s, leaving fans to anticipate their return for the decades that followed. This new project sees the directors return to work on a comedy series filled with interesting and unique characters, centering around a blood donation enthusiast and a vampire from a prestigious bloodline.

LOVEBITES were chosen by the anime's production team who were seeking a band that could capture the concept and fierce vampiric nature of the series' main character, Mai Vlad Transilvania. Vocalist Asami committed on the honor "We look forward to delivering a heavy and dynamic song for VLADLOVE! We have been appointed as official ambassadors for the series, so we will continue to support VLADLOVE as much as possible! I hope you will join us in our excitement for this series!"

Currently there is no news of a release for “Winds of Transylvina” at the time of reporting. in the mean time check out the preview of VLADLOVE below!
