Resurrection

Resurrection is a fulfilling work on which Galneryus pulls together virtuosic guitar and keyboards, speeding powerful rhythm and piercing high-range vocal melody into one big drive. A record that pushed the fullness of the new lineup, welcoming Masatoshi Ono as the new vocalist, further. Its gorgeous, outstanding technique, by no means an end in itself, works powerfully purely to make the sure lift of the choruses and the songs’ drama even bigger. A more powerful, refined record. From the power of the speeding opener “United Blood” and the drama of “Burn My Heart” to the catchy “Carry On,” every song is engaging, while cuts like “Destinations” and “Emotions” convey the work’s fullness. Masatoshi Ono’s overwhelming high range and Syu’s neoclassical guitar are powerfully in sharp form throughout. A record letting you feel the outstanding technique and sure heat of Japanese melodic power metal most directly. Its unity with the new vocalist has deepened further. A powerful, engaging masterpiece showing Galneryus’s mature ability — a record where the band’s fullness shines.
