One for All - All for One

One for All - All for One is a fulfilling fourth album on which Galneryus combines Syu’s fluid, gorgeous guitar, the splendid color of the keyboards and Yama-B (Masaki Yamada)’s powerful high-range vocals at extremely high density. A record that can be called one culmination of the early neoclassical style. This work is the last studio work the first vocalist Yama-B belonged. The faster the songs, the more the outstanding technique stands out, yet at their center memorable, dramatic melody is always firmly placed. From the powerful drive of the opener “Red Horizon” and the speeding popular “New Legend” to a cut like “The Nightcraver,” every song is engaging, while cuts like “Aim at the Top” and the moving “Everlasting” convey the work’s fullness. In particular, on “New Legend” and “Everlasting,” speed and deep sorrow intersect vividly. A record letting you fully savor the outstanding combination of Syu’s neoclassical guitar and Yama-B’s powerful high range. It condenses early Galneryus’s appeal to the fullest. A powerful, engaging masterpiece that sounded Japanese melodic power metal on an imposing scale — a record capping one era.
