GALNERYUS is a Japanese Power Metal band formed in early 2001 by guitarist Syu and vocalist YAMA-B.
GALNERYUS plays material inspired by metal legends Dream Theater, Sonata Arctica, and X JAPAN.
The current members are YAMA-B (vocals), Syu (guitar), Yu-to who replaced tsui in 2006 (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 AUSHVITZ, 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.

The thing is, Yama-B was already part of the sound of the band. So it's not a matter of finding someone better, but someone who has a similar style.

WTF?! Yama-B leaving? WTF?!

His voice is awesome, period ^^ But I agree that he couldn't be better for Galneryus than he is.

Seriously, Yama-B's vocals aren't great unless he's in Galneryus, even in his other bands/solo projects his voice isn't that great. But in Galneryus he fits to well it's remarkable. Fuck, wish he would stick with Galneryus instead of moving on..

If they find replacement who suits well there no problem, but of course it's kinda hard competely replace Yama-B.

HaewkE wrote:
I agree, rather than finding a new singer (that's probably lightyears away from Yama's skills), they should make albums like Syu 100% instead... I'd rather Yama stay with them, but no can do I guess...

they should become an instrumental band instead of finding a replacement for Yama..

These guys ruuuuules <3 But I've heard that the singer is leaving the band? what kind of crap is that!?

ScreamLab wrote:
that's true, I'd rather them have a good vocalist and continue then get someone who's complete shit and stay together, it's not like each member doesn't have a project to fall back on. Or the ability to start a new one.

To be honest i'd rather them disband then get a new vocalist that sucks, or isn't as good. That way each member could go on to make a new band, or do other projects.
