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)

Secret Love
Galneryus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You change my world That just begun
Secret within us Is this love a sin or right?
I'm feeling the life is like the tight-rope dancing
Atsui yoru ni magire
Ai wa ugokidasu
Mayonaka no DOOR wo tatakeba
Yokubou ni miirare
Ude no naka nemuru
Himerareta toki wa nagareru futari dake no KATACHI ga aru
Hotobashiru kanjou dake ga
Ima wo ikiru akashi ka?
Utsurou yo ni samayoi nagara
Naze kore hodo setsunai?
Doko e tadoritsuku?
Futari kotae wo motomete wa ikenai…
Furitsuzuku ame no naka
Nureta mama de ii
Dare ni mo shirarezu ni
Kimi wo kowashitai
Massugu na hitomi no naka ni mieru asu ga mayotteiru
Itsuwari nai kotoba dake ga
Ima wo sasaeteru no ka?
Utsurou yo ni samayoi nagara
Naze kore hodo kanashii?
Itsumade aiseru?
Kesshite kotae wo sagashite wa ikenai…
Fukitsukeru kaze no naka
Kogoete ii kara
Secret love.. Ah, precious one
You change my world That just begun
Secret within us Is this love a sin or right?
I'm feeling the life is like the tight-rope dancing
Naze kore hodo setsunai?
Doko e tadoritsuku?
Futari kotae wo motomete wa ikenai…
Furitsuzuku ame no naka
Nureta mama de ii
Naze kore hodo kanashii?
Itsumade aiseru?
Kesshite kotae wo sagashite wa ikenai…
Fukitsukeru kaze no naka
Kogoete ii kara
Because we just wanna have no regret
Secret love.. Oh, precious one
You change my world That just begun
Secret within us Is this love a sin or right?
I'm feeling the life is like the tight-rope dancing
