Versailles-Philharmonic Quintet-, Ascended Master 
2009 has been a tough year for Versailles, however, despite the death of bassist You Jasmine, has overshadowed the success of the band's single Ascended Master , Is his major debut, and certainly can be considered as the will of the overwhelming talent of the members. The single, which was launched on June 24, 2009, is a sample consists of three pieces composed with great skill, fully reflect the theme of aesthetics and formed Versailles.
The first song of the same name as the single, begins with great melodrama, which succeeds in giving a vibrant look dangerous. The incredible and recognizable guitar work done by HIZAKI and TERU be seen almost immediately, and sounds even better than in previous songs, and that it binds to the musical lines of low Jasmine You and YUKI battery to create a lush melody, but also fast, with the background melody of the voice of KAMIJO . If we consider the idea and the song evokes images (vampires, roses, love and death), there is nobody who can sing this song as KAMIJO . Deep, compelling and exciting, his voice recalls the pain of the character at a time that makes you wish it to end. However, what stands in the song is the guitars and HIZAKI TERU take over and sing the melody as anyone, so that the valuable work they do elevate the song to a higher level.
Gekkakou composed of HIZAKI , represents a break with the past Versailles, and which has a positively epic, full of violence and darkness. If you're not expecting to have a break after Ascended Master, be disappointed, because Gekkakou , begins with a bang and quickly sucks you into the world of Versailles no possibility of escape. YUKI spent many hours in this song, along with Jasmine You , whose low is essential to give each note the touch of gothic and romantic both features. KAMIJO , which continues to channel the vampire in him, give my best in every note she sings, and surprises the listener with a sudden change of language, singing in Latin. This combined with the shrieks of guitars and HIZAKI TERU during the solos make this song becomes a unique experience for fans of Versailles and those who are not.
Finally, the instrumental song about two minutes, Descendant of the Rose , ends the single following the path of the previous two, unsettling and sinister, though a little less harsh and easier to forget. With the limited release, is also a short film, in which members are vampires Versailles, and for which this last part is not anything out of place in the soundtrack.
The great strength of Ascended Master , which also shows a new aspect of the band at a time that does not neglect the symphonic metal style, allows the legacy of Jasmine You last, and certainly is a experience in which you want to participate Versailles from the first drum beat to the last breath, and insurance is an experience not to forget in a while.
