Versailles discography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The discography of Versailles, a Japanese

visual kei metal band formed in 2007 by vocalist
Kamijo and guitarist Hizaki. After recruiting
bassist Jasmine You, drummer Yuki and guitarist
Teru, they performed their first show on June
23. Their key characteristics are their Rococo
esque costumes,[1] dueling guitars and heavy
but melodic arrangements. Versailles gained a
significant worldwide following soon after
forming as their debut EP Lyrical Sympathy
(2007), released by Kamijo's own label Sherow
Artist Society, received a simultaneous
European release and they performed in Europe
and the United States the following year. Their
first fulllength album, Noble released in 2008,
was also released in North America in 2009.
