Interview: Melody Cristea of Liliac
Liliac is a heavy metal band which was formed in Los Angeles in 2015 and is now based in Atlanta. The band is a “family band” comprised of vocalist Melody Cristea, along with her brothers Samuel (lead guitar), Ethan (bass/rhythm guitar), Justin (keyboards), and sister Abigail (drums), used to tread the boards of the Santa Monica Pier, busking for tips while delivering their brand of hard rock. Assisted by their music producer father, Florian, they became highly successful in covering songs from Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath, and Ozzy Osbourne.
Vocalist Melody Cristea with melodic metal band Liliac discusses the band’s original material, the new album Madness, shutting down the Santa Monica pier, being called the “Partridge Family,” the song “Rise Up,” and much more!

I grew up in a household full of rock music, studied journalism in college, and then became a scientist.Although my science career has served me well, music has always played a major role in my life. I grew up reading "Creem" magazine; I play several musical instruments as a "hobby";and it seems a camera has always been in my hand. Now, I am combining what I love the most--music and photography--serving as editor of Rock At Night. I travel between the US and UK seeking my dream! My motto: life is short...no regrets. Chyrisse
