HAHAHA, Tom, normally I don't bother telling people i told you so, but in this particular situation, it actually put a smile on my face to tell you that, lmao!!! Enjoy your rabbit hole bro, i promise you'll both love it!
Just a start to some of their Originals: “Mars” live, concert footage “Nothing”, slaps you with vocals but you have a taste already. “Sail Away”, Ballad, make sure the other half is there. Might save for after a few more songs. As for covers, not sure there is a bad one, they stay close to the original but change it just enough to make it theirs.
YES!!! Saw these kids in concert a few years ago when they opened for Loverboy and they are the real deal. Melody has the best female rock voice in 30 years. Sam is a top tier guitar player. I also recommend you next listen to their original "Mars" live in Cumming, Georgia. I suggest an original song next so as not to be constantly comparing them to the original artist. Then move on to some of their other covers. All of their songs are fire.
Great reaction Melodys Voice is so unique with that tone she has and her range is phenomenal.they have 2 albums of original music Chain of Thorns and Queen of Hearts all great all there covers are as good or better than original they have2 great live performances Mars live Cummings Georgia original and Piece of my Heart Janis Joplin cover they are a great live band. And newest material checkout Nothing and Mystery.
For witnessing Melody's vocal range, and styles, "Sail Away" is the absolute choice. Not to take away from all the rest of the songs they do, which are amazing as well, but that song really showcases both her soft & hard sides.
What grabbed me about this band couple years ago was Melody's insane vocals, AND what stands out from the other young rock bands out there. The other bands may have killer musicians, but if the singer is not up to par, then the whole band is off my list. The next thing that grabbed me, was Liliac's amazing talented and very young, (at the time), musicians. Since then, I have seen and enjoyed them grow and get better with time and I'll be there to see them become famous. They are truly good humans!! #RORH
Holy Diver, Rainbow in the Dark, The Trooper. All of their covers are awesome. Their originals are also sick. I think anything you check out you will enjoy. Keep up the cool reactions. 😎
They have 2 original ep/albums. Chain of thorns and Queen of Hearts. Original songs to check out. Chain of thorns, mystery, we are the children, nothing, sail away. And Mars live in Cummings Ga. Covers, Master of puppets, Enter Sandman, Rainbow in the dark, Holy diver , Crazy train, The Trooper and there are more. In the older stuff Melody will be playing Bass and Ethan will be on rhythm guitar. In the newer stuff melody has stopped bass to concentrate on singing and Ethan has become the bassist.
Mystery is a great song from them too. Their dad is a music producer and his kids were interested so they started playing and he decided to take them on tour. OldSkuleNerd here on youtube has an interview with with Papa Liliac that has a lot about the background and how they all got into music.
I'm glad to see you reacting to Liliac. This is the American member of the great family heavy bands NAFTA, along with The Warning from Mexico and Motion Device from Canada. This is totally Melody Christea's normal natural voice, which is MILES better than Dave Mustaine's vocals. His vocals are very thin, so this was in no way copying his vocals, since if anything it's the opposite. Not forced at all. She always sounds just like this. Her main influence vocally is actually Ronnie James Dio, which fits, since she sounds like him normally. Janis Joplin and Melissa Etheridge weren't forcing this sound either; it's a unique vocal that is normal for her. Their songwriting is still developing out of the cover stage, but they have two excellent originals; namely, "Mars" and "Mystery". A third original is also very good, which is "Sail Away".
I totally agree on everything you wrote, part from your last sentence. Melody has a unique voice, some day they will learn to write just as well. Patience!
Mars live from there 2019 , or nothing both originals. Liliac are getting bigger and bigger. They will be playing there 2nd Kiss Kruise tto the Bahamas in Oct. They played the 2019 Kruise and were the talk of the ship that Kiss immediately booked them for there final Kruise this year. This is her natural singing voice, there originals are crazy good , I would start with Mars live or Nothing.
They cover: Master of Puppets The Tooper Crazy Train More...More. Go all the way back "Wild Thing"(first UA-cam video as Liliac) Originals: Crown of Thorns Nothing Sail Away Many others. 2 Albums of covers 2 Albums of originals Appeared on shows: Americas Beast Americas Got Talent.
start with their original vid from santa monica pier, cover of Ozzy and crazy train, keyboard player and bassist were very young, and yes, that is Melodys voice on every song
They were on aamericas got talent but they refused to sign a 5yr contract were they would not be able to do their own music and there own style so they got voted off
Welcome to Liliac! These kids/family are awesome. Everything they’ve done sounds fantastic. This is their latest video they've put out and it's really them just having fun. Melody (singer) is an absolute gem. Abigail (drummer) is always living her best life back there on drums. Sam (lead guitarist) will leave you in awe with his talent. Here's a list of songs in no particular order, please do more: Covers: "Wild Thing" "Rainbow In The Dark" "Paranoid" "Somebody To Love" "Rock And Roll All Night" "Holy Diver" “Enter Sandman” “Crazy Train” "Piece Of My Heart" live in Cumming, GA "I Hate Myself For Loving You"
@@patrickharrington5753 I'll be sure to remember and add that to future postings. (*edit) and smashing the drums like she does is prob why she is having so much fun.
Liliac just dropped their Tribute video "Last In Line" they played for the Official Dio Cancer Fund Livestream yesterday. You won't regret hearing this one!!
You mentioned the cheesiness of the video setting. It was pretty intentional for this one to mimick the album cover of Couhtdown to Extinction, which was a dude in a straight jacket surrounded by poured concrete walls.
They are the new presence in rock music. They do covers of Metallica, Joan Jett, Black Sabbath, Dio, Kiss, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, and others. There original music videos are also great!
You will be shocked then. She is naturally raspy/smokey. However, Dio was her main inspiration. While you are new to these kids, Michael Batio, Rudy Sarzo and Vinny Appice aren't. Melody has done GoDPS videos with them. Vinny Appice has a long relationship with these kids. Melodio as Appice calls her just sang four songs previously sang by Dio with them at a show in Kentucky. Stewart Copeland of The Police played during a documentary he was making with them on the Santa Monica Pier. They have many original songs as well as covers. These kids go back to when Melody was 11 and Sam(guitarist) sang with her with Abigail (the drummer) playing accordion. Ethan and Justin would have still been in car seats at that point I think. Papa Liliac is a music producer by trade and the kids were interested in music and here we are. He keeps them independent so this is filmed in their basement of their new house where they are raising money through Go fund me to make into a working studio. He manages them as well and Mama Liliac takes care of the merch. Their original Nothing was actually filmed in their apartment in Downy, CA during lockdown You have a very deep rabbit hole you are venturing down that will end in a bat cave (Liliac is Romanian for bat) and you will be "fanged". Enjoy!
They're the metal Patridge Family.. Yes they have lots of great original music as well! Check out "Mars" live from Cummings, Ga The rasp isn't forced. Its her voice. Her voice is one of the best I've ever heard. Not just for her age. And its not for just this song. It is indeed her natural sound.
My first exposure to Liliac was "Nothing". It shows the real metal voice she has. The video is in black and white and made to look old. They were a little younger, as well. 12 to 21 years old.
BTW Tom, that is her natural singing sound. She has some real rasp, and that is one reason why Holy Diver cover, and their original song Nothing sounds so godly good. She nails those, also so does Sam with guitar solo's.
For less growl check out Joplin's Piece of my Heart or Mars (Live) Original or Sail Away (original). Her Idol is Dio, hence the growl. latest album is Queen of hearts is all originals. There is a EP which is also all originals. Videos are available on their UA-cam channel. They've covered several Metallica with the most views at 9 M+ for Enter Sandman. Holy Diver is also covered very well. Welcome to the Fang den. Except for originals & the rock Ballad Sail away it's a metal concentration.
Everything has been said. However, I just say: they, especially the older siblings, are huge fans of Dio. They have some great covers of Ronnie James Dio, and Melody, the singer, is very influenced by him in her stage presence. Her voice fits very well with many classic bands as Dio, Maiden, Megadeth, Ozzy, Janis Joplin. I like their covers. As someone mentioned, they have two original albums that are good. If you want to see them alive, check their original song "Mars". Some covers: Holly diver ua-cam.com/video/wPfNs_N9nE4/v-deo.html Enter Sandman ua-cam.com/video/INouvLl1JiQ/v-deo.html Crazy train ua-cam.com/video/VeDznoxjQy0/v-deo.html Master of puppets ua-cam.com/video/EFxw9LRdycw/v-deo.html Rainbow in the dark ua-cam.com/video/mkLWC-clCjk/v-deo.html Piece of my Heart (Janis Joplin's version) ua-cam.com/video/nz-EuUMD338/v-deo.html (live) Paranoid ua-cam.com/video/zjF-TRyM8qU/v-deo.html Somebody to love ua-cam.com/video/HZ7_1KN6aXY/v-deo.html The trooper ua-cam.com/video/OzyHTO5GnWM/v-deo.html I hate myself for loving you ua-cam.com/video/Rfq7MZr-ftA/v-deo.html and so on...

The first seconds I was "I... don't... know.........." but soon got intrigued, she can probably do lots of different things with her voice, I'm curious now :-D I still have Marco/Nightwish version as my fave for this song but...
As both a huge Nightwish AND Liliac fan, I actually prefer Liliac's version of this song. As great as Marco is, he just didn't do it for me on this particular song. Enjoy both versions my friend.
I'm 66 years old, and I've been a fan of Liliac for 3 years. I was never a Megadeth fan, and even though I'm sure they do a great job with this, I'm just not a fan of the song itself. Listen to one of their originals, like Mars, Sail Away or Chain of Thorns. Their cover of Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself For Loving You" is great too. Or even their covers of Metallica'a "Enter Sandman" or Janis Joplin's "A Piece of my Heart" Live, on tour in Cummings Georgia.
This is pretty deep hole to go down. i suggest original "Mars" live in cummins ,GA and if wanna see her with attitude i'd recommend Joan Jett cover "I hate myself for loving you" them go however you want org's or covers your choice won't be disappointed i promise.
Liliac (pronounced Lily-Ak) is a band of 5 brothers and sisters that have been playing together for several years. Sam (lead guitar) is 22, Abigail (drums) is 21, Melody (lead vocals and sometimes bass) is 19, Ethan (bass and rhythm guitar) is 15, and Justin (keyboard and soon to add rhythm guitar) is 14. The Cristea family was from Los Angeles but last year moved to Georgia. The father Florin Cristea, and mother Nineta, were both originally from 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 or 14 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. Somebody to Love: ua-cam.com/video/HZ7_1KN6aXY/v-deo.html Crazy Train: ua-cam.com/video/VeDznoxjQy0/v-deo.html The Trooper: ua-cam.com/video/OzyHTO5GnWM/v-deo.html Rainbow in the Dark: ua-cam.com/video/mkLWC-clCjk/v-deo.html Paranoid: ua-cam.com/video/zjF-TRyM8qU/v-deo.html Enter Sandman: ua-cam.com/video/INouvLl1JiQ/v-deo.html Piece of My Heart: ua-cam.com/video/nz-EuUMD338/v-deo.html In 2019 they released an EP Chain of Thorns that solidified their sound as both classic and new rock and hailed Melody’s raspy voice as Epic! 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. Pappa Liliac (Florin) shoots and produces the videos and Sam does the editing. Momma 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.
You need to listen to more of Liliac. They have originals also. Melody has a voice like no other. They record a lot of their videos in their basement. Their dad is in the music business. Check out live and originals. Everything they do is great.
If you want Melody's real vocal greatness listen to Mars live in Cumming Georgia.. It is an original, and a very good live song. I think the best cover for her is Hate Myself for Loving you. I believe she did it better than Joan Jett. All of there music is very good original music and covers. They write all of their originals.
Melody is a vocal goddess. They have many covers and originals and there all amazing. The one you need to do next is I Hate My Self For Loving You by Joan Jett they kill it and Melody is like Joan 2.0 Thanks for the reaction you have a new sub.
There parents are Romanian, the kids all grew up in America so that may explain Melody's sound just alittle but they are awesome, there like a modern day heavy metal Partridge family with alittle bit of the Adams Family mixed in lol
For your lovely lady, here's Sail Away (an original of Liliac) she sure will like it! Because there's the vocalist's tone (who's name is Melody) she said she wanted to hear again. ua-cam.com/video/l5r2aUl1nvU/v-deo.html For you, I recomend another Liliac original: ua-cam.com/video/U0cQy1dtGEc/v-deo.html PS. Great reaction. As a fan, thank you!
Been expecting you to do more Liliac since you can't believe her voice is real. Melody Christea should not be compared to anyone, her voice is distinctly hers. More Liliac please, their originals are mind blowing.
This is melody’s sound but sarah will love their original song sail away or try Nothing another fangtastic song try Mars live version or I hate myself for loving you the list goes on please take the liliac journey you’ll be a fang before long I garantee it ! Melody is 19 Sam is 22 Abigail on drums 22 Justin on keys 13 and Eathan on bass 14 they’re just awesome they’re style is vamp metal as their dad comes from Romania near Count Dracula s castle their mother is also from Romania
Not quite Martin, since Dracula is a fictional character. Their parents are from Transylvania, the region which contains the castle of Vlad Tepes, better known as Vlad the Impaler. It is from his bloody history that some of the Dracula nonsense comes. But, both parents moved to the U.S. in their early teens, and all the kids were born and raised in America.
I’ve seen several covers with this band. And they crush everyone of them. These kids are going places they’re talented. Their covers and tail Ronnie James Dio holy diver last in line. But Tahlequah Enter Sandman. Janis Joplin. Iron maiden. Ozzy. Joan Jett. They crushed every cover that they have done putting their own little twist into the mix. These kids are talented
Their cover of Holy Diver is probably one of the best covers I have ever heard.
Good enough Wendy Dio shared it on the Ronnie James Dio Facebook page. `
the trooper was excellent as well
That’s her voice most unique voice in rock metal today love me some Liliac 🤘🏻🤘🏻
This is Melodys original voice...very raspy...checkout Metallica..Joan jett....ozzy...ronnie james dio...plus their originals! They're awesome!
HAHAHA, Tom, normally I don't bother telling people i told you so, but in this particular situation, it actually put a smile on my face to tell you that, lmao!!! Enjoy your rabbit hole bro, i promise you'll both love it!
Just a start to some of their Originals:
“Mars” live, concert footage
“Nothing”, slaps you with vocals but you have a taste already.
“Sail Away”, Ballad, make sure the other half is there. Might save for after a few more songs.
As for covers, not sure there is a bad one, they stay close to the original but change it just enough to make it theirs.
Add original "Mystery" as well.. one of their best.
their original Nothing - ua-cam.com/video/U0cQy1dtGEc/v-deo.html and
their original Mars(live) - ua-cam.com/video/CRrqHZNMUko/v-deo.html
Sam Lead Guitar 22, Abby Drums 21, Melody Lead Singer 19, Ethan Bass 15 or 14 and Justin Keyboards 13
LOL, Melody's rasp sounds "forced?" Um, no, that's just her voice and it's apparent in every song; she's a vocal powerhouse.
Thats her voice. She is unique. Listen to more Liliac and you'll see. Nothing forced there. She's amazing!
YES!!! Saw these kids in concert a few years ago when they opened for Loverboy and they are the real deal. Melody has the best female rock voice in 30 years. Sam is a top tier guitar player. I also recommend you next listen to their original "Mars" live in Cumming, Georgia. I suggest an original song next so as not to be constantly comparing them to the original artist. Then move on to some of their other covers. All of their songs are fire.
Yes do more subbed and you will probably get alot of subs this is the fang family of Liliac
Second the suggestion for Mars. Really showcases each of their talents
Great reaction Melodys Voice is so unique with that tone she has and her range is phenomenal.they have 2 albums of original music Chain of Thorns and Queen of Hearts all great all there covers are as good or better than original they have2 great live performances Mars live Cummings Georgia original and Piece of my Heart Janis Joplin cover they are a great live band. And newest material checkout Nothing and Mystery.
I agree check out Nothing and Mystery.
For witnessing Melody's vocal range, and styles, "Sail Away" is the absolute choice. Not to take away from all the rest of the songs they do, which are amazing as well, but that song really showcases both her soft & hard sides.
You have been FANGED, welcome to the world of Liliac. Their originals are superb too. The fans are called fangs. Fang4life RORH
Mr. did get Fanged really fast 🤘🦇. Nice

Also on June 4 in Kansa city Melody is doing a concert with former Dio drummer Vinny Appici and his band Sabbath Knights. Vinny nicknamed her Melodio.
Holy Diver, Rainbow in the Dark, The Trooper. All of their covers are awesome. Their originals are also sick. I think anything you check out you will enjoy. Keep up the cool reactions. 😎
You most definitely should check their cover of Dio's Holy Diver!
They have 2 original ep/albums. Chain of thorns and Queen of Hearts. Original songs to check out. Chain of thorns, mystery, we are the children, nothing, sail away. And Mars live in Cummings Ga.
Covers, Master of puppets, Enter Sandman, Rainbow in the dark, Holy diver , Crazy train, The Trooper and there are more. In the older stuff Melody will be playing Bass and Ethan will be on rhythm guitar. In the newer stuff melody has stopped bass to concentrate on singing and Ethan has become the bassist.
There version of master of puppets is awesome
YES, more please , everything they do is AWESOME , great reaction. \m/
Mystery is a great song from them too.
Their dad is a music producer and his kids were interested so they started playing and he decided to take them on tour. OldSkuleNerd here on youtube has an interview with with Papa Liliac that has a lot about the background and how they all got into music.

Enter Sandman, please! It’s awesome! The official video is from 2017 so they where a lot younger. Greetings from the Netherlands👋👋👋
You NEED to check out their ALL of Their music stuff!! It will BLOW you AWAY!!!
Yes you need check out more of their covers and their original tracks😊
Liliac just dropped their Tribute video "Last In Line" they played for the Official Dio Cancer Fund Livestream yesterday. You won't regret hearing this one!!
You mentioned the cheesiness of the video setting. It was pretty intentional for this one to mimick the album cover of Couhtdown to Extinction, which was a dude in a straight jacket surrounded by poured concrete walls.
They are the new presence in rock music. They do covers of Metallica, Joan Jett, Black Sabbath, Dio, Kiss, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, and others. There original music videos are also great!

If you want to see more from justin...keyboardist...check master of Puppets cover!
They're the metal Patridge Family.. Yes they have lots of great original music as well! Check out "Mars" live from Cummings, Ga
The rasp isn't forced. Its her voice. Her voice is one of the best I've ever heard. Not just for her age. And its not for just this song. It is indeed her natural sound.
More Liliac please ! You can pick anything they have done , it's all awesome !
My first exposure to Liliac was "Nothing". It shows the real metal voice she has. The video is in black and white and made to look old. They were a little younger, as well. 12 to 21 years old.
Melodys voice is that throughout all song she has her sound
Check out their cover of "holy diver" and "The Trooper" and their originals:
“Mars” (live, concert footage), “Nothing” and “Sail Away”
You guys definitely need to hear more Lilliac..especially their originals. They're just as great!
Liliac dropping Original Music Video Dear Father today, 8/20/2021
Yes, they have a good bit of original music. They are awesome whether it's a cover or their own music.
Great reaction been following them for about 3 years they are outstanding just keep on getting better
For Melody's voice: Listen to I Hate Myself For Loving You!
…as for Metallica: Their cover of Master of Puppets (Keyboard in there!)
The more songs you see, you will find Melodies great range and power.
that rasp is natural
Saw them bout 4 yrs ago in tucson,AZ. They were awesome then,their original stuff is awesome too.
BTW Tom, that is her natural singing sound. She has some real rasp, and that is one reason why Holy Diver cover, and their original song Nothing sounds so godly good. She nails those, also so does Sam with guitar solo's.
Check out their cover of Dio's rainbow in the dark. They recently came out with their full length album, all originals.
You have been FANGED!!!
Their cover of Heaven and Hell is next level 🔥🤘
For less growl check out Joplin's Piece of my Heart or Mars (Live) Original or Sail Away (original). Her Idol is Dio, hence the growl. latest album is Queen of hearts is all originals. There is a EP which is also all originals. Videos are available on their UA-cam channel. They've covered several Metallica with the most views at 9 M+ for Enter Sandman. Holy Diver is also covered very well. Welcome to the Fang den. Except for originals & the rock Ballad Sail away it's a metal concentration.
They did a couple Metalica covers but their originals are good especially Mars live and Nothing
Everything has been said. However, I just say: they, especially the older siblings, are huge fans of Dio. They have some great covers of Ronnie James Dio, and Melody, the singer, is very influenced by him in her stage presence. Her voice fits very well with many classic bands as Dio, Maiden, Megadeth, Ozzy, Janis Joplin. I like their covers.
As someone mentioned, they have two original albums that are good.
If you want to see them alive, check their original song "Mars".

UnFortunately you’re dissing her natural voice, she has a very unique voice , not sure why you think its forced !!!
Listen to an original song like “ Nothing”, then listen to “ Sail Away”, these guys are outstanding, and still keep raising the bar
The first seconds I was "I... don't... know.........." but soon got intrigued, she can probably do lots of different things with her voice, I'm curious now :-D
I still have Marco/Nightwish version as my fave for this song but...
As both a huge Nightwish AND Liliac fan, I actually prefer Liliac's version of this song. As great as Marco is, he just didn't do it for me on this particular song.
Enjoy both versions my friend.
I'm 66 years old, and I've been a fan of Liliac for 3 years. I was never a Megadeth fan, and even though I'm sure they do a great job with this, I'm just not a fan of the song itself. Listen to one of their originals, like Mars, Sail Away or Chain of Thorns. Their cover of Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself For Loving You" is great too. Or even their covers of Metallica'a "Enter Sandman" or Janis Joplin's "A Piece of my Heart" Live, on tour in Cummings Georgia.
Great Lilliac "megadeath" family band cover of a Megadeth hard rock song.
Metal
This is pretty deep hole to go down. i suggest original "Mars" live in cummins ,GA and if wanna see her with attitude i'd recommend Joan Jett cover "I hate myself for loving you" them go however you want org's or covers your choice won't be disappointed i promise.
Check out their version of Holy Diver.
They did Master of Puppets it is great!!
Liliac (pronounced Lily-Ak) is a band of 5 brothers and sisters that have been playing together for several years. Sam (lead guitar) is 22, Abigail (drums) is 21, Melody (lead vocals and sometimes bass) is 19, Ethan (bass and rhythm guitar) is 15, and Justin (keyboard and soon to add rhythm guitar) is 14. The Cristea family was from Los Angeles but last year moved to Georgia. The father Florin Cristea, and mother Nineta, were both originally from 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 or 14 years old. At that time, it was just Sam, Abigail, and Melody, as the two boys were really too young. They did covers.

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.

In 2019 they released an EP Chain of Thorns that solidified their sound as both classic and new rock and hailed Melody’s raspy voice as Epic!
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 did not abandon their roots of doing covers and for the 35th anniversary of Metallica’s release of Master of Puppets they released their cover of this epic masterpiece: ua-cam.com/video/EFxw9LRdycw/v-deo.html
They also released their cover of Megadeth’s Symphony of Destruction: ua-cam.com/video/oGfig2MSrUQ/v-deo.html
They also redid and released their cover of Joan Jett’s I Hate Myself for Loving You: ua-cam.com/video/Rfq7MZr-ftA/v-deo.html
And as a special tribute, and at the asking of Wendy Dio, with the blessing of Vinny Appice they recently released their cover of Ronnie James Dio’s Last in Line: ua-cam.com/video/xxQwjA0amKA/v-deo.html
Liliac is an independent band managed by their father. They have turned down several record company offers to remain independent and control their own destiny. Pappa Liliac (Florin) shoots and produces the videos and Sam does the editing. Momma 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.
she has a Bonnie Tyler type Rasp in her singing style she does it in every song. she covered Janis Joplin Piece of my Heart live in Ga
You need to listen to more of Liliac. They have originals also. Melody has a voice like no other. They record a lot of their videos in their basement. Their dad is in the music business. Check out live and originals. Everything they do is great.
I cannot wait to see them at Rocklahoma this year. They just keep growing and getting better every song.
You need to check out enter sandman
Melody has an epic 80s rock voice. Great covers of ozzie, Dio, Janice Joplin, Grace Slick, Joan Jett.
They have two original albums. Watch their song Mars live in GA
Holy Diver! You must watch Holy Diver!
If you want Melody's real vocal greatness listen to Mars live in Cumming Georgia.. It is an original, and a very good live song.
I think the best cover for her is Hate Myself for Loving you. I believe she did it better than Joan Jett.
All of there music is very good original music and covers. They write all of their originals.
If you like Metallica, check out their covers of Enter Sandman and especially Master of Puppets!
They have covered so many great songs . Mostly 80's stuff but this one is the best one yet !!!
Now she is Co-Host Yeeeee, waiting for the change in the channel name
TOMMY BOY SHE,S GOOD,,WHOLE BAND IS..BOY CAN PLAY THAT GUITAR.....
For their cover of Holy Diver and Last in Line is the best one of all
Melody's voice is the sound and tone of Janis Joplin in tone and METALICA"S sound today.
The've started their own genre of music, they call it vamp metal.
Melody is a vocal goddess. They have many covers and originals and there all amazing. The one you need to do next is I Hate My Self For Loving You by Joan Jett they kill it and Melody is like Joan 2.0 Thanks for the reaction you have a new sub.
There parents are Romanian, the kids all grew up in America so that may explain Melody's sound just alittle but they are awesome, there like a modern day heavy metal Partridge family with alittle bit of the Adams Family mixed in lol
They like to think of their covers as "Tributes" .
You should totally listen to there Rainbow in the dark and Crazy train. That is her absolutely awesome voice and Melo totally ROCKS.
🦇🎶🤘 Watch their original "Nothing".
For your lovely lady, here's Sail Away (an original of Liliac) she sure will like it! Because there's the vocalist's tone (who's name is Melody) she said she wanted to hear again.

For you, I recomend another Liliac original:
ua-cam.com/video/U0cQy1dtGEc/v-deo.html
PS. Great reaction. As a fan, thank you!
Thanks
These kids can rock! If you love Metallica Check them out on Enter Sandman and yes that is her voice She can nail Dio
Holy Diver
Been expecting you to do more Liliac since you can't believe her voice is real. Melody Christea should not be compared to anyone, her voice is distinctly hers. More Liliac please, their originals are mind blowing.
Definately listen to their cover of master of puppets by metellica!
You have just begone your journey into the world of the band that is "Liliac" . Fasten your seat belts and enjoy .
This is melody’s sound but sarah will love their original song sail away or try Nothing another fangtastic song try Mars live version or I hate myself for loving you the list goes on please take the liliac journey you’ll be a fang before long I garantee it ! Melody is 19 Sam is 22 Abigail on drums 22 Justin on keys 13 and Eathan on bass 14 they’re just awesome they’re style is vamp metal as their dad comes from Romania near Count Dracula s castle their mother is also from Romania
Not quite Martin, since Dracula is a fictional character. Their parents are from Transylvania, the region which contains the castle of Vlad Tepes, better known as Vlad the Impaler. It is from his bloody history that some of the Dracula nonsense comes.
But, both parents moved to the U.S. in their early teens, and all the kids were born and raised in America.
I’ve seen several covers with this band. And they crush everyone of them. These kids are going places they’re talented. Their covers and tail Ronnie James Dio holy diver last in line. But Tahlequah Enter Sandman. Janis Joplin. Iron maiden. Ozzy. Joan Jett. They crushed every cover that they have done putting their own little twist into the mix. These kids are talented
