Reason for title change: Believe it or not, people thought this was an official release, like from the series itself. Sorry if that pissed anyone off, I just don't want any trouble with the creators. This was made to venerate them, not upset them.
Not yet, it's going to be part of our new EP which is coming out this summer. Sorry about the massive delay, we're all just working class guys trying to make the band thing work :)
This song sounds really good, though if there was only a faster paced version. I did see in another video a version that had things sped up only a bit, I put the speed of this video to 1.25x to compare to it and that version is a bit slower than this at 1.25x speed so it's somewhere between 1x and 1.25x but it has just the right amount of speed to it that gives it a lot more energy and more awesome to listen to.
Well, being a melodic death metal band, we do the screaming stuff a lot in our own songs, but when we do covers we try to maintain the feeling of the original but have our own spin on it. Screams didn't seem right for Lilium so we kept them aside. 4 years have past since we did this, so our skill in music and recording have gotten a lot better. We're gonna do our best to not disappoint! :D
I'd love to see how you fine people would do it now. Even though this version is pretty damn sweet to be honest. Take care out there and I shall try and do the same.
I'm a big fan of metal (I even have a neo-classical dsbm band), but i'm an even bigger lover of classical music. Lilium is an amazing piece of contemporanean gregorian hymn with deep influence of renaissance music and modernism. It's very rare to find gregorian chants with piano accompaniment (because of the logical time reason), even more rare to find with strings. And if it was not enough Lilium have a soprano singing like an angel. It's a true masterpiece, as a classical music lover i must assume it's one of the best things i have ever heard, it's antique and at same time new and exotic. The work done here making of it a metal song is incredible, but i can't hide how sad i feel when someone do a metal version of a true classical masterpiece. I see it as an offense to the work that have been done. I studied classical music, and love when musics mix with classical music doing a neo-classical stuff, but not this, overwrite doing "metal version" removes the essence of the song. Just sharing what i feel, i wish sucess for you guys. You rocks ;)
+sparkle1princess lucy became nuts due to humanity and dickheads who judge the appearance well yuno so just a crazed psycho that need to go in a mental institute
+9 lives Nightcorres I don't believe Yuno is a complete psychopath. To me, she was a victim of the horrible things in life as much as Lucy, which made them both what they are. In fact (SPOILERS) when you see the third version of Yuno in the Third World, you find out that she was just a little girl wanting to know that her foster parents loved her. :)
no mater how its played i will always have chills run through my entire body as i sit hear having my ear holes pleasured by the soothing sound that came from my headset
Was looking at my like list and I found this song again. At the moment I liked the song I was going through a very sad moment in my l life, dealing with the loss of my father, but thankfully time heals the heart and now I remember him very fondly.
what's happening is that you sir have given us a amazing song from an amazing anime series. This series for me personally is one of the few that has truly touched my heart, so I thank you very much! :)
Hey, people you all need to give jinko17 some respect. This guy and his band went out of their way to make and post this for everyone to enjoy. This video has been on my iPod for about two years now and I enjoy listening to it all the time. Give this man his respect and give him the credit he and his band deserves. Thank you jinko17! Great cover.
Well I actually prefer philosophical masterpieces like Angel Beats! and gore anime that make the character harder to fathom, still I've watched Clannad. By the way I was talking about Elfen Lied manga's end, which is definitely more interesting that watching ailing girls.
Bravo!!! To be able to create a full metal remix, making it hardcore and awesome while keeping its sadness in it. This fits perfectly into the story line of Elfen Lied. Truly, why the hell does it only have 13 episodes???
Dont get me wrong this is amazing and i love how you added lucy's voice but could you make the extended version because it great but doesnt last long enough :(
not me. how would that bring it here? I'm not saying I don't like it. I would want to see that... but I don't want to cuz I don't find that much of an interest in parodies of things that wouldn't happen.
I have never seen it. I mean I saw the title, just never watched it. I don't really understand an action anime video would lead to an horror anime that only has one season that ended on a (most likely) cliffhanger.
Read the manga then. The ending made me cry for 2 days straight and fell emotionally broken for 2 weeks. I have never felt anything like that and probably never will again. It's a clear masterpiece to create a manga that reaches so deep into others souls. Please, do read it.
No matter what version it is, this song always brings me to the edge of tears whenever I hear it. (I either gained or lost a good pile of man points for writing that)
when i heard there was an elfen lied metal version, I was like, "you've gotta be kidding me. this is such a sorrowful and beautiful soundtrack. who would want to disrupt that?" but then I heard this, and its not that bad.
Thanks a lot dude. You can still do your own version and I'd totally check it out. I don't feel I did this song the justice it deserves and will probably rerecord a higher quality version in time. I'm glad you enjoyed what I was able to accomplish at least, thanks for checkin it out!
oh my God..... this is SUCH AN AWESOME COVER I HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT!!! u should really do a full version of it xD this really rocked my socks xD i love that you wrote FULL METAL VERSION xD
Its amazing that even the metal version feels sad too...
LordVader1094 it may sound sad. Bit this still sounds amazing
Metal is sad
? Lots of metal songs sound sad. Heard of black and doom metal?
Tis be a sad song, yet in the end it tries to be uplifting. Such is the life of Lucy.
most to all metal has sad undertones
Thoes who can't hear the begining Lucy said, "I'm sorry. For all the sadness i've caused you. I'm so sorry."
i think this is a cool cover,but it will never outlast the original
@@henrys2526 I beg to differ since this song version gets stuck in my head way more
@@jinko17bro thats your opinion
@@henrys2526 I haven't realized, thank you for noticing. I would also like to point out your statement is also an opinion as well.
@@jinko17bro i know

have you guys released the "new and improved" version yet?
Not yet, it's going to be part of our new EP which is coming out this summer. Sorry about the massive delay, we're all just working class guys trying to make the band thing work :)

I love how it starts with a quote. And even the rock version just sounds depressing.
Soul Eater its not. Its down right lovely
I want this played when you come for me.
@@docklikeable9264 no its sad
It's sad only for those who associate the song to the anime

"Your a lair!" gave me goose bumps when i heard that part
Each year I come by to listen this beautiful melody absolutely nostalgic
God I wish this was on spotify
this was so ahead of its time
1:56 ... "You're a Liar" ...
jesus alarcon puyol "forever"
1:56"You're a Liar"... Im:is a shot
At the beginning i was about to cry...her quote made me burst out into tears...
That's all it takes, huh.
Nah. Mostly just remembering how alike we are......

Some other way......

You okay there chief
Almost 10 years since watched the anime and listened to this song on this version, and I am still coming back over and over again to listen again
I'm going to kill myself with this background song
@@pablocisneros294 please don't?
lets just die already
14 years later and this is still gives me goosebumps.

+Felipe Eduardt a superb comment, indeed!
This anime and it's ost are one of few things that can rival Evangelion, it's almost too perfect.
For everyone that says Lucy is better than Yuno and the other way around, they are both crazy. That is exactly why i love them both :)
Adrian Lorentzen Lucy isn't crazy, she is just sad and angry.
+Adrian Lorentzen Yuno's a crazy psycho. So is Lucy, but to a lesser degree, and it comes from a different place.

Adrian Lorentzen *don't stick yo D in crazy*
So basically a majority of us all watched Elfen Lied alone and some in one day, such as myself, and cried. There, we all now understand eachother.
It still makes me tear up like the original. That’s how you know it’s good.
My favorite anime
Although this is a little short, it is still by far my favorite metal cover of this song!!!
Lucy's quote at the very beginning always makes me cry. ;~; So much emotion in her voice.
I grew up with this cover, so it holds a special place for me.
no mater how its played i will always have chills run through my entire body as i sit hear having my ear holes pleasured by the soothing sound that came from my headset
SAME
Makes me cry every time I hear it...
😢
واو انت هون :)
@@zerofsama3374 لا أنا هناك، هذه مجرد نسخة دخانية مني 😂
By far the best cover/interpretation of this song I've heard so far.
Cant friggin live without this!
Those are both great but ima say my favorite is
"you were a happy dream in a life thats been nothing but a hellish nightmare"
also by Lucy
Metal/ Rock never sounded that depressing. AWESOME !

Epic! >
Was looking at my like list and I found this song again. At the moment I liked the song I was going through a very sad moment in my l life, dealing with the loss of my father, but thankfully time heals the heart and now I remember him very fondly.
I just barely noticed that there were words in this and I 've listened to it 40+ times already
Needs to be much longer than 2 minutes. Dx
i dont know if you realized but it is more than 2 mins..... its 2:17 mins..... Lol jk
I still love this
Escucho esto en 2020 solo para saber si alguien sigue escuchando esta increible cancion en version metal
Yo we
2023......
wow! nice! props to who ever made this!
Awesomeness, i'll be sure to listen to the EP and the redo. "Like a fractured glass nothing will be the same" Love that part, keep up the good work.
Vegeto vs kelfla
Can someone get Amy Lee to sing the lyrivs?
a guy can dream...
Idk I already asked but there’s no cover yet.
get vibeke stene from tristania and this would go down in history
*Vegito vs kefla* anyone? XD
Games Player you already know and now I’m gonna go binge watch this anime

Full Metal Lilium - Nyu
I love this anime...
why? why not continue?
there is some manga ;) no worries
I've read it, totally different from the anime (its end is one of the sadiest since Angel Beats!).
i disagree,for me the sadiest ending is the AnoHana and Clannad,but Elfen Lied have a very sad ending
Well I actually prefer philosophical masterpieces like Angel Beats! and gore anime that make the character harder to fathom, still I've watched Clannad.
By the way I was talking about Elfen Lied manga's end, which is definitely more interesting that watching ailing girls.
That was just most perfect ending that left amazing impact, developing more episodes would kill that feeling and it would become just another anime.
Me encanta esta versión
Bravo!!! To be able to create a full metal remix, making it hardcore and awesome while keeping its sadness in it. This fits perfectly into the story line of Elfen Lied.
Truly, why the hell does it only have 13 episodes???
Thank you very much for putting this up. Awsome rendition of Lilium. I'm re-watching the series right now because of this.
2009 ? 2016 ? :D :D7 years that how good is this anime and song ! see you in 2020 guys ! :D
MedAlex I'll see you there. XD

Hello my friends, how are you? Your yearly reminder is here.
"Happy people can be so cruel. Is it so hard to believe that sympathy could be born from pain and suffering?"

beautiful. didnt expect it, but it truly is. didnt compromise the depth of the song. very very good.
I don't like metal, but this just amazing ☉_☉
Dont get me wrong this is amazing and i love how you added lucy's voice but could you make the extended version because it great but doesnt last long enough :(
no se si soy la unica pero esta cancion me suena navideña
es verdad xD
Jajajajajaja Exactamente
Honestly, I didn't think this would turn out this good, but damn. This is awesome!
Chills man. Chills, especially at the beginning.
Anyone else here in 2017?

Who is here because of the fight Vegito vs kefla

@@Jacob-2000 what?Thats what brought people here.That parody was amazing

you know what fuck it i'm going to see it. just to see how it leads people here
@@Jacob-2000 Its this song that was used in it
AWESOME
This is by far the best anime theme song I've ever encountered, and one of the best anime series aswell, I truly admire it :)
Awesome! I just finished watching the whole show yesterday and i loved it! Elfen lied ftw!
As a guy that has been a metal fan for maybe 7 years now i can tell you that this is pretty darn good, even by metal standards
Amazing!!!!!! Shred like is no tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!! It's soulful and headbanger worthy!!!!! I want more!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant concept, amazing execution.
This is phenomenal work.
Thank you for sharing it here.
Read the manga then. The ending made me cry for 2 days straight and fell emotionally broken for 2 weeks. I have never felt anything like that and probably never will again. It's a clear masterpiece to create a manga that reaches so deep into others souls. Please, do read it.
When she said "you're a liar" at the end... God. Most painful great anime ever.
took the words right out of my mouth, no one needs to suffer like she did...
No matter what version it is, this song always brings me to the edge of tears whenever I hear it.
(I either gained or lost a good pile of man points for writing that)
You're just too awesome, sounds perfect and the spoken parts from the anime are an interesting detail I really like. Exactly what I was looking for!
i had forgot about this, glad i was able to find it again.
Oh my god blesses my ears
when i heard there was an elfen lied metal version, I was like, "you've gotta be kidding me. this is such a sorrowful and beautiful soundtrack. who would want to disrupt that?" but then I heard this, and its not that bad.
I cried so hard hearing this. Thanks for uploading :')
Can't wait to listen to the improved version of this!
freaking awesome!!!!
Congratulations! This instrumental performance deserve to it.
Every conversation on the internet, eventually turns into a conversation about you.
Epic is an understatement for this version of the song.
Awesome
"You're a lyer..." That part just made my entire body shake. *shivers*
Thanks a lot dude. You can still do your own version and I'd totally check it out. I don't feel I did this song the justice it deserves and will probably rerecord a higher quality version in time. I'm glad you enjoyed what I was able to accomplish at least, thanks for checkin it out!
just ... EPIC !!!
Opening Theme "LILIUM”

This is by far the best anime theme song I've encountered, And of course one of the best anime series aswell, I truly admire it :)
i dont think that this show gets the appreciation it deserves
HELL to-the YEAH!!
They turned such a sad song into music I can listen to In a fight. I live it.
oh my God..... this is SUCH AN AWESOME COVER I HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT!!!
u should really do a full version of it xD this really rocked my socks xD
i love that you wrote FULL METAL VERSION xD
Wow 13 years
