The current members are Masatoshi "Sho" Ono (vocals), Syu (guitar), Taka who replaced Yu-To in 2009 (bass), YUHKI (keyboard) and JUNICHI (drums.) Veterans of the heavy metal scene, they set to work assembling a band. Syu, known as guitarist for the indie heavy metal bands Valkyr, Animetal and SPINALCORD, where he also served as lead vocalist, and vocalist YAMA-B, who worked with bands Gunbridge and Rekion, originally were joined by keyboardist A (of Valkyr) and drummer Toshihiro Yui (Formerly of Honey Quest and Cemetary.) They soon were to recruit keyboardist Yuhki, of Ark Storm, and drummer Junichi Satoh. After Tsui left in 2006, they recruited yu-to of DELUHI. They were signed to VAP Records. Syu writes music for the band and contributed his deep, roaring vocals, while lead vocalist Yama-B contributes the songwriting, with lyrics and song titles in English. Galneryus has a dress style that borders on the style of visual kei, with medievally styled and leather dress, toting instruments with coloration to match,although recently they have set for a more casual style.
Galneryus' first album was the Rock opera styled Flag of Punishment. Through a few loosely tied songs, this album seems to tell the story of a revolution to gain freedom, and its victories and losses. The second album, Advance to the Fall seems to be more of a straightforward album, which doesn't tell a specific story, but rather tells a collection of smaller stories for the sake of standalone pieces. Cover art for both albums is that of Yoshitaka Amano, artist for the Final Fantasy series of video games.
In 2008, Vocalist YAMA-B left the band due to creative differences. Masatoshi Ono has been announced as the replacement.
Other former temporary members are Yoshinori Kataoka (keyboards), Yusuke (bass)

Enemy to Injustice
Galneryus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Promise I'll always fight in the cause of justice
But I don't do it by order
I'm always an enemy to injustice
Voices crying in the wilderness
Somebody is asking for my help
Voices crying in the darkness
"Save us from hell!"
Yes, I am a saver
I don't have the heart to ignore people in need
Never change my mind forever
Follow me without fear I am in the lead
Voices crying in the painfulness
Somebody is asking for my help
Voices crying in hard sadness
Somebody is asking for my help
"Save us from pain!"
Rise against! Out loud!
Show you my noble action
Win or lose To be proud
I'll prove my devotion
With a rage like a shroud
I'm ready for action
Feel my riot of emotion
I only fight in the cause of justice
I am an enemy to injustice
Peaceful days once I had were left behind
Now only the fate and tusk are in my hands
I won't look back on days in the past
I won't be down till breath my last
Taking all the blames and claims deep inside
Believing all the opponents will be by my side
I will be back over and over again
I will fight back to the final day!
Rise against! Out loud!
Show you my noble action
Win or lose To be proud
I'll prove my devotion
With a rage like a shroud
I'm ready for action
Feel my riot of emotion
I only fight in the cause of justice
I am an enemy to injustice
l only fight in the cause of justice
I am an enemy to injustice
I fight in the cause of justice
I am an enemy to injustice
