One specific example could be the intro to “Scars”, as well as its’ atmospheric keyboards during the first verse. Now, “Future Never Dies” has a lot of those final touches that make it so enthralling. Basically, Galneryus adds a lot of final touches that creates their progressive sound, unlike Opeth (whom I’d describe as an external progressive band where their sound is blatantly pretentious). Galneryus’ progression is more internal rather external. But those who argue that point obviously don’t listen to them that closely. It’s true that an argument can lead to accusations with Galneryus being not all that progressive or innovative. Some may be wondering if there is, if not anything that’s keeping these guys relevant. Having said all of that for those two songs it’s safe to say that Phoenix Rising is another Galneryus album.
Roaring guitar solos, blasting drums, atmospheric keyboards, catchy as hell vocals that have a j-pop influence, and an audible bass creates the epic atmosphere that many Galneryus fans are accustomed to. “Future Never Dies” follows afterwards and manifolds the prestige for what is expected from Galneryus, and trust me Galneryus fans have high expectations. Unlike Galneryus’ most compared to counterpart (Dragonforce), Galneryus may seem like they’re going on the carbon-copy route but they always prove the haters wrong every time with their brilliant approach of composing. So the given impression is on an extremely high note given their history and all.Īs expected, the opening guitar solo/main melody (whatever the *** you want to call it) has a blast from the past on “Tear off Your Chain” with nostalgia written all over – seriously it reminds me of “Silent Revelation’s” opening lead. The intro also progresses the symphonic melody to a guitar version from Syu, but what catches my attention is the use of harsh vocals which hasn’t been used since their earlier albums. “The Rising” starts off the album with an epic symphonic melody that will, without any doubt, have the listener hooked immediately. Review Summary: After a strong start with a new singer on Resurrection we see Galneryus strike back a year later with a new effort that’s suppose to revive the band from the ashes hence the whole Phoenix symbolism.
