GALNERYUS

major - (2001 - )

GALNERYUS is a power metal band, fronted by the talented guitarist Syu together with other experienced and talented musicians from the Japanese metal scene.

The band's heavy songs are full of Syu's impressive guitar solos. The bass tends to stay a little in the background and the drums are the typical, fast, power metal drums. The keyboards mostly add some orchestrated pieces to the songs. For years, YAMA-B took care of the vocals with a nearly perfect pronounciation of the English lyrics.

It's difficult to tell from their sound that they're a Japanese band; instead they could pass for a European or American metal band and are often compared to bands like Sonata Artica or Stratovarius.
