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 End of the Line
Galneryus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My soul is blazing in the chaos
My heart is bleeding there's no future
And I'm swelling in the cruel fate
あまりに遠く果てしない 未来へ歩いてゆく
あとどれくらいの自由を知れば 終わりは来るのだろう
守りたい あの記憶の中でだけ生き続けられるのなら
そう あの日から逃げられるのなら
The anger is burning in my body
My soul is fading into chaos
My heart is bleeding, there's no future
And I'm swelling in the cruel fate
もう決して変わる事のない 未来に夢を託す
あとどれくらいの重みを知れば 終わりは来るのだろう
たとえこの目に映り込まない程の 僅かなものだとしても
守りたい あの記憶の中でだけ生き続けられるのなら
そう あの日さえ忘れられるなら
濡れた幾つもの十字架 背中に纏い仰ぐ
あとどれくらいの重みを知れば 赦されるのだろう
たとえこの手に包まれ消える程の 小さなものだとしても
守りたい あの記憶の中でだけ 今も変わらずに生きて
それでもいつか拭い去ってしまった あの涙の意味を知る
幻想となりもう二度と思い出す事が出来なくなっても
きっと求めていた 温もりは そう深く心の中
The lyrics to Galneryus's song The End of the Line deal with the feeling of being trapped in a cruel fate, and the struggle to hold onto one's memories and dreams in the face of what feels like an inevitable conclusion. The opening lines of the song express a feeling of impending doom or a curse that is descending upon the singer. Their soul is ablaze with chaos and their heart is bleeding without hope for the future. The following lines express a desire to walk towards a future that seems infinitely distant, questioning how much freedom they need to know before the end comes.
The next verse expresses anger burning in the singer's body as their soul fades into chaos. Again, they express a bleeding heart with no future, and the struggle to hold onto memories and dreams that seem small and insignificant. The final verse seems to touch on themes of redemption and forgiveness, with the singer looking up at crosses and wondering how much weight they need to carry to be forgiven. They express a desire to hold onto their memories and continue living in them, even if they can never be truly recaptured or removed from the realm of fantasy.
Overall, the lyrics to The End of the Line seem to express a feeling of being trapped in a cycle of destruction, struggling to hold onto what is meaningful and enduring in the face of forces that seem to be tearing them apart. There is a sense of hopelessness and desperation, but also a desire to hold on and keep fighting until the end.

My father loved this song so much, he requested it be played as we lowered him in the grave. We were able to grant his request, but had to bury him in a 300 foot well.
