Versailles

Versailles is a brand new band formed by an ex-member of Lareine. They are a vis-kei band of the drab and frilly variety. Their sound is just as dark and frilly as their attire, being soaring epic metal. Well, the one song they've released so far is epic and metal. Is it just me, or is it hilarious to see a guy dressed up as a woman in outrageously over the top Victorian lace and totally shredding on the guitar? All with a completely blank and/or board look on his face? Great stuff. Also, the lead singer playing the part of Lestat to a T will certainly go a long way in certain circles. Anyway, they do indeed bring a high level of musicianship to the table. This first song "Revenant Choir" is sung almost entirely in English. Will this pattern of blistering epic metal and syrupy, mumbling English continue on throughout the rest of the Lyrical Sympathy album? I certainly hope so, and you can expect a full review of the album soon after its release this Halloween.
