these guys have undoubty the best cover of this song, its not a one for one copy, its original without making too different and the feeling is still there without going over board like other metal covers of this song
This song is such an awesome mix of genres and is seriously the most interesting thing i've heard in a long time. This band is definitely a new favorite band of mine.
As much as I like this, especially the violin, nothing can replace the original Eva opening. It's the most epic anime opening EVER and it should never be changed.
There are hundreds of artist that tried to cover Zaankoku no tenshi no theses, and most of them were always kindda boring> but i have to say, this is a WONDERFUL version of the song... really love the guitar and violin part of the song!
oh... the voice... is... beautiful.... wow!does not recognize the song is ... sounds amazing .. I like much more ... with the touch of violin ... is as beautiful as it sounds ... I LUV '
@blingadingading @vigalure I kind of agree with bling on this one. I consider Visual Kei to be a kind of unique cultural approach to various existing music genres. The visual aesthetics of the band are used to accentuate the message that's being conveyed by the music so the band's performance is both musical and visual. Sometimes this involves the music being consistent with the image (e.g. X's 'psychedelic' phase in image and music; Versailles' aristocratic image with neoclassical music).
@vigalure I'm glad what I said makes some sense! I'm pretty confident A would sound VERY different if they weren't a VK band. In my experience (via interviews with VK artists compared to interviews with non-VK others), it is much more prevalent for VK bands to decide on a definite idea/concept/message they want to convey before considering the music. I think it's less likely that A would have come up with the music they now have had they not started the process within the VK mind-set.
I think so~ he sings a lot xD basically ACE has two vocals more or less. Because Rookie sings most (or all) of the backings and the higher passages (the ones that sound kinda opera like) and plays the violin, the piano, flute and I don't know what else XD Hearing them live is just epic in my opinion *o*
@blingadingading @vigalure This, I believe, is reflected in their music; as they take musical styles from various cultures and create a rock fusion with them. Indeed, they are extremely talented at doing so! In a way, I agree with vigalure insofar as there was something more definite about the musical style of early Visual Kei. But I think it has evolved into something far more widely encapsulating (as I suggested above). I think it's more than a musical genre, it's a way of approaching music!
@blingadingading @vigalure Other times the music and image may be more inconsistent for effect (but I think this is rare). I find A(エース) a very interesting case of Visual Kei. For besides the fact that their music is great to listen to, their visual-kei-ness seems to me like a metaphor for the whole visual-kei movement. To put it bluntly, they're dressed up as pirates; explorers of various nations and cultures who plunder what these nations create and use it for their own desires.
@blingadingading neo visual kei is very varied, but even being ''neo'' they have the classic vk touch. I listen to a lot of old school bands, and i never heard another kind of band do songs like they did, sooooo i concider visual kei an musical genre. In this song, the part where the drums are fast, this is very vk for me.
Zarz02 Actually, it is originally from Neon Genesis Evangelion, I found out a long time ago. And it is possibly one of the best anime I have ever seen. You should check it out, seriously. It's good.
@PersistentResistance lol the whole reason i clicked was to see if it was a remake of the theme..i do like this version almost as much as the original :)
@AkemiInWonderland totalmente de acuerdo. Aunque la interpretación me agradó pudo haber sido hermosa si la batería no se hubiera tragado el violín. Por otra parte, el inicio también... Incluso pensé que era una chica la que cantaba (no estaba viendo como tal el vídeo, solo escuchándolo) pero ya luego le agarré gusto~
@ImShiawase this band is almost new... Every indie Band record his PV like this, looking "cheap". It was a live, but in the PV is just the video with the song over it :)

the Violinist was awesome! I've never seen such intense violin head banging ever!
English name's written as "A". Pronounced as "Ace". Means "Anonymous Confederate Ensemble". Have a good time being confused.
Nice violin... and wow, it's gotta be sort of hard to play while headbanging.
A Salsa version.
JAJAJAJA QUE BUENA ......estas jaajaaajaj
Estaba recordando el pasado y me topé con tu comentario, me hiciste la década HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
and now jumps out Shinji thinking ..no wait he's not thinking/
ACE - Also stands for Amazing Cover Ensemble
Evangelion+ J Rock
omfg perfection
like 2 of my favorite things in 1
DUDE. Easily one of the best versions of Cruel Angel Thesis I've heard. Amazing.
I love the band so much! Nimo is one of the best singers I've ever heared
This song is such an awesome mix of genres and is seriously the most interesting thing i've heard in a long time. This band is definitely a new favorite band of mine.
Holy shit, I don't know what I was expecting, but this better.
Rookie Fiddler has a powerful voice, is a great multi-instrumentalist and is a unique composer.
Who needs more than this?
looks like I just found myself a new fav Visual Kei band ;D
the guys a great singer!
As much as I like this, especially the violin, nothing can replace the original Eva opening. It's the most epic anime opening EVER and it should never be changed.
So epic and fun. I've fallen for this band completely now.
OMG it's my first time listening to A, and I''m SO touched
This is so different from the original. I love it!! They're amazing!!
Rookie is a great compose. I Have no words.
There are hundreds of artist that tried to cover Zaankoku no tenshi no theses, and most of them were always kindda boring> but i have to say, this is a WONDERFUL version of the song... really love the guitar and violin part of the song!
I Love Nimos Voice and Rookie playing violin **
I going to see them live in three days! =) Can't wait! =)
ヴァイオリン…最高過ぎて泣けてきた・・・
I adore them since I've seen them Live. Love for Rookie! Please come to Germany soon, I'd love to see you again!

As soon as Rookie Fiddler played the Eva theme I had tears running down my cheeks ....LOVE IT

Oh my gosh thank you! LOL It's been driving me crazy since I found this song about a year ago but I never bothered to ask.
yeah! that version rock!
Well, the official name is A but I've always written it as A(ACE) it's just a lot easier to look up information about them.
かっこいい
AWESOME
いつまでも すごい！
They will be performing at a cosplay expo in Sweden that takes place july 26-29!
excelente .....maldito ...magnifico ...excentrico....lo maximo...
They're coming to Närcon in Sweden in July! : D
I really like his voice!!
This is just perfect.

ME TOO! I need to see them.
i would love to see you guys playing on an anime convention over here in germany

Good Job
Does the remind anyone else of an Anime they have seen? It does to me and I LOVE IT!

@PersistentResistance I agree with you on that one I mean if you know the anime it is obvious I notid straight away. This should be the opening!!
Cara, saudades
He now sings in "ANONYMOUS (anonimosu)".

Woah I knew this song by Miku Hatsune but didn't knew it was a cover!! The original is awesome *O*
wow there so awesome
wow that guys are really good *_* I want hear more from
eva.creative.nice
I think Neon Genesis Evangelion needs to be re-made to an updated level of badass-ness. When it is - this needs to be the new opening theme.
awesome...
my heart is bleeding... awesome! thank you for this wonderful song ♥♥♥
OMG... so Awsome
Exactly.
Guau me encanta ademas el violin le da un toque especial
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God I love the violin
omfg.... what an awesome cover O_O
What to say? AWESOME!! ♥
I am for sure I have heard an anime OP that sounds like this = 3 =
Havoc Yasoki It sounds a lot like mirai nikki opening imo
Zarz02 Actually, it is originally from Neon Genesis Evangelion, I found out a long time ago. And it is possibly one of the best anime I have ever seen. You should check it out, seriously. It's good.
I know. I was saying the begining of the cover sounds like Mirai Nikki
This is just EPIC~
I ABSOLUTELY love the violin at the beginning!!!! Thumbs up if you did too.
PS- here's an instant replay button 0:00
Omg, I've played this on piano... it is such a gorgeous song. =3
@PersistentResistance lol the whole reason i clicked was to see if it was a remake of the theme..i do like this version almost as much as the original :)
