Angel of Salvation

Angel of Salvation is a monumental work on which Galneryus gathers high-speed guitar and keyboards, powerful high-range vocals and an epic-minded construction including a long song. A record on which the band’s outstanding ability reached one peak. The playing’s technique is extremely high, yet the songs always move powerfully around grand melody and deep drama. In particular, the grand over-fifteen-minute title suite “Angel of Salvation” is overwhelming content. A record where Masatoshi Ono’s overwhelming high range shines. From the power of the speeding opener “Reach to the Sky” and the drama of “The Promised Flag” to the popular “Hunting for Your Dream,” known for an anime tie-in, every song is engaging, while cuts like “Lonely as a Stranger” and “Stand Up for the Right” convey the work’s fullness. In particular, “Hunting for Your Dream” became a popular song representing the band. A record on which precise, complex development and big, memorable choruses coexist extremely naturally, generating a classical, symphonic, sure lift. You can experience Galneryus’s grand scale and outstanding playing at once. A powerful, engaging masterpiece that showed the band’s ability to the fullest — an essential record for fans.
