Pronounced as Lilly Ak. Family band. Independent. Melody (Vocalist) was 16 years old for this cover and this was back when she played the Bass. Originals- Madness, Rise Up, Carousel, Dear Father, We Are The Children, Sail Away, Not Afraid. Covers- Holy Diver (Dio), Master Of Puppets (Metallica), Symphony Of Destruction (Megadeth), Heaven and Hell (Black Sabbath).
Welcome to the world of Liliac (pronounced Lily-Ak). They are the masters of covers but they also have some amazing originals. Sam (lead guitar) is 24, Abigail (drums) is 23, Melody (lead vocals and sometimes bass) is 21, Ethan (bass and rhythm guitar) is 17, and Justin (keyboard) is 15. The Cristea family was from Los Angeles but moved to Georgia. The father Florin Cristea, and mother Nineta, were born in Romania. Both their families moved to the United States when the two were children. They met in the US and were married and began their family thereafter. The word Liliac is Romanian for Bat. They began as the Cristeas when Sam was about 13 years old. At that time, it was just Sam, Abigail, and Melody, as the two boys were really too young. They did covers. Stay: ua-cam.com/video/Ry0FLAGC_cU/v-deo.html Say Something: ua-cam.com/video/s_VZzsx3J54/v-deo.html As time passed and the little brothers got big enough, they were included in the band. An early cover of Wild Thing showcased Melody’s stage presence (even at such an early age) and really was the beginning of them taking off with a purpose: ua-cam.com/video/aqcmbDFrlqc/v-deo.html Living in Downey, California the band honed their skills playing on the Santa Monica Pier every weekend for several years. As they gained their confidence and stage presence, the crowds grew bigger and bigger until the police had to have them stop because the crowds were getting too big. Their covers got more complex and more polished.

Chain of Thorns: ua-cam.com/video/IpRgs4UNeso/v-deo.html Mars: ua-cam.com/video/CRrqHZNMUko/v-deo.html They have since released a complete LP Queen of Hearts furthering their now labeled “Vamp Metal” sound. A takeoff of the Romanian/Transylvania heritage. In many of their early covers you can see the coffin shaped guitar case in the background.

They have turned down several record company offers to remain independent and control their own destiny. Papa Liliac (Florin) shoots and produces the videos and Sam does the editing. Mom Liliac (Nineta) handles the merchandise sales. Now you know the band - go explore their music and you will become a fan (or as they are called “fang”) of Liliac.
They are siblings, Sam the guitarist just turned twenty four, followed by Abigail (drums) who is twenty three, Melody who is twenty two, Ethan (bass) who is eighteen and Justin (keyboards) who is almost seventeen. This is one of their earliest videos. If you want to go in order, Crazy Train was their first video, then this one, The Trooper, then one of their originals Chain of Thorns, around this time Melody teaches Ethan bass so she can move around while singing. Continuing on I would recommend covers of Symphony of Destruction, I Hate Myself for Loving You, Paranoid, Holy Diver and Last in Line. Moving on to originals Nothing, Dear Father, Mystery, We Are the Children, Mars (live in Cummings, GA) which begins with a killer guitar solo by Sam, Sail Away, Carousel, Madness, cover of Master of Puppets featuring Aiden Fisher, another live performance, Not Afraid a compilation of live performances, cover of Heaven and Hell and Rise Up. I have watched Captain Facebeard and Heather, they are great reactors too.
Welcome to the world of liliac. Family metal band. Sam on guitar, abbigail on drums, accordion, melody singer, bass, flute. Ethan rythum guitar, bass, and Justin keyboard. Parents from Romania dad from transylvania. Independent band, best cover master of puppets, best original sailaway but everything they do is awesome
I've been rocking since the early 80's. Welcome to my favorite modern band! Everything that they do is awesome! I would like to suggest their cover of Iron Maidens The Trooper. It's before Ethan took over the bass from Melody and shows off his younger talent.
Great reaction Everything they do originals and tributes are phenomenal Checkout there original ballad Sailaway which just won an indie film award for best orignal song for film Cry of Silence which is released May 1 they have 3 albums of original music and newest being Madness all there tributes are as good or better than orignal

Hello my new young friend. I've been a little aloof lately. Looks like we have a mutual friend with CaptinFaceBeard. I think I sorta turned him and Heather onto Liliac. Welcome to the World of Liliac! This young band busked on the Santa Monica pier very young for 5 years every weekend. Look up Crazy Train for the pier footage. I first heard them on the World's Best show playing Rainbow in the Dark. MeloDia found DIO at 15 and he is her main inspiration. No one covers DIO quite like Liliac. For future shock check out their current Heaven and Hell cover. Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath/DIO drummer) has said she is the reincarnation of a female DIO. Check her out with Vinny at his Sabbath Knights show singing Country Girl. Liliac has covers, however they have 1 EP Chain of Thorns, Queen of Hearts album, and Maddness Album all originals. It's like the pier, you get a mix with them. Nice correction on their name. It means bat in Romanian. Their parents are Romanian born emigrated to the US as children. Met in High school, married and gave birth to a Vamp Metal Band! Lol really loved the reaction. Hope to see more. Peace. Stay safe. God Speed. FANG 4 LIFE! RORH 🍻🌹❤️🤘🦇
Siblings band
Samuel 20 guitar
Abigail 19 drums
Melody 16 bass/vocals
