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)

The lyrics of Galneryus's song No More Tears express a sense of hope and support towards someone who is going through a difficult time. The opening lines "I pray for you, crossing over eternity beyond the sky" convey a message of spiritual and emotional transcendence, reinforcing the idea that the singer is offering an empathetic and powerful support system to the listener.
The chorus speaks of the singer's wish to send their songs to the person and encourage them to stop crying, to embrace the future with a smile and feel the wind on their skin. The lines "We believe your new way of love, no more tears" reaffirm the idea that this support system aims to foster personal growth and help the person move forward.
The song's bridge shifts to a more empowering tone, urging the listener to fight against any obstacles that come their way and to keep running towards the light, rejecting any darkness or negativity. The final chorus drives this message home, in the hope that the songs will help the person endure, overcome their pain, and find joy once again.
