The actual name of this band was actually supposed to be "Vers elle", which means "Towards her" in French. But they don't pronounce V and L in Japanese, so when turning the band name into katakana, they got "ヴェルサイユ", officially pronounced "Berusaiyu" but usually mispronounced "Vērusaiyu", which was then mistranslated to "Versailles", which has sadly become the official transliterated name of this band.

I was recommended their new video on youtube the other day and was surprised they released a single. I listened to it and went back down memory lane and listened to Masquerade, God Palace, Faith and Decision, and Love From a Dead Orchestra. Good memories

I can't wait until they break up again and never speak of the new single gain for the third time.

The most beautiful symphonic power metal sound with very bad vocal unworthy of this masterly instrumentals. Prove me wrong.

Indeed! I'm so glad I got Lyrical Sympathy and Nobel (the EU-versions with DVDs and the original version of The Revenant Choir as a bonus track on Nobel) years back when I still had the chance. Lyrical Sympathy, espcially, was a huge part of my high-school years and will always have a special place in my heart ♡

Lineage is much more inspired than anything on the self titled and anything Jupiter did.

Mini-album was kinda mediocre. None of the songs were as good as the Melodic Thorn or Chandelier, and especially the guitar solo's are quite a disappointment. They are short. Its the first time that I dont feel the need to listen to any of the songs of a new album of Versailles. Such a shame.

Hmmm. You have to imagine that Kamijo, Hizaki and Teru are all terrible at writing something progressive. They dont have it in them to innovate within the genre of power / symphonic metal. But thats fine. For a visual kei band, they are doing a great job. Plus, the things they do (albeit not really creative) are great in itself most of the time. IMO its just a shame that this mini album is too much focused on Kamijo. Really, don't expect them to change. It is not going to happen.

Their mini-album is quite good, if you leave out the tracks composed by Hizaki. The endlessly repetitive galloppy riffs are getting old. I think Yuki can also improve a little and not recycle so many drum patterns.

Check out Jupiter, same band, different vocalist for a vocalist with a different kind of range. I like Kamijo's voice, but I also get why some people hate it.

Mixing is a bit off, yes. Kamijo now has permanent reverb on this voice. The two new songs are actually fine, and they have treated both songs like ''best off'' songs when it comes to the guitar solo's and vocal melodies. So yes, im pleased :)

I only heard a sample ... but the mixing is such crap. It sounds like a Kamijo solo album with Hizaki/Teru being marginalized.

@Angeltearx first, they're gonna play a return live show about June (if I remember correctly) and yes, then there'll be a new album (I saw recently Kamijo's photo in studio, so maybe it's already recording). Release date isn't known yet.
