Ed.)-Label : Warner Music ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Description : ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ What Galneryus offers here with Ultimate ║ │ │║ Sacrifice is easily the best power metal record ║ │ │║ since Stratovarius' Nemesis more than four years ║ │ │║ ago and album of the year material as well. I'm ║ │ │║ not too familiar with the band but this album ║ │ │║ really took me by storm. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ There are three perfectly executed elements that ║ │ │║ make this album so outstanding. First of all, ║ │ │║ one has to mention the band's stunning ║ │ │║ musicianship. The melodic guitar solos are both ║ │ │║ enthusaistic and technically challenging. They ║ │ │║ never get boring. Syu clearly is one of the most ║ │ │║ gifted guitar players I have ever witnessed. The ║ │ │║ keyboard solos are as balanced as they are both ║ │ │║ emotionally and intellectually gripping. Usually ║ │ │║ keyboards are the weakness of many power metal ║ │ │║ bands as they often sound too fluffy or ║ │ │║ saccharine but that isn't the case here. They ║ │ │║ complement the guitar solos perfectly and keep ║ │ │║ an entertaining balance between seventies' rock ║ │ │║ influences, epic supporting slots and stunning ║ │ │║ lead passages. Yuhki could easily be compared to ║ │ │║ some of the best progressive metal keyboard ║ │ │║ players around the world without even needing to ║ │ │║ opt for a progressive metal style. It's not ║ │ │║ surprising that these two musicians have been on ║ │ │║ board since the band's inception as their ║ │ │║ performances are the key elements for this ║ │ │║ record's success. This doesn't mean that the ║ │ │║ other musicians aren't excellent. The drum play ║ │ │║ by newcomer Fumiya is fast, playful and ║ │ │║ versatile. He seems to feel at ease as his ║ │ │║ performance is an indicator for great musical ║ │ │║ chemistry within the band. The bass guitar is ║ │ │║ often a neglected instrument in power metal ║ │ │║ bands but that isn't the case for Galneryus. The ║ │ │║ bass guitar is audible and harmonizes perfectly ║ │ │║ with the drums and guitars. The record even ║ │ │║ includes a very cool bass guitar solo where Taka ║ │ │║ shows his skills. Last but not least, Ono ║ │ │║ delivers an absolutely stunning vocal ║ │ │║ performance. While his vocal style isn't too far ║ │ │║ away from many Visual Kei acts such as ║ │ │║ Versailles, he doesn't only provide atmospheric ║ │ │║ parts like most of those singers do but stands ║ │ │║ out with the energy and emotion he puts into his ║ │ │║ performances. When I researched to get more ║ │ │║ information about him, I was stunned to learn ║ │ │║ that he is already fifty years old. Ono sounds ║ │ │║ more consistent, enthusiastic and powerful than ║ │ │║ genre singers that are half as old as he is. The ║ │ │║ five musicians are all absolutely great but the ║ │ │║ guitar and keyboard players are even among the ║ │ │║ world's elite. This band doesn't seem to have a ║ │ │║ weak link which is quite rare for a power metal ║ │ │║ band. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The second element that really made me fall in ║ │ │║ love with this album is the group's enthusiasm. ║ │ │║ Galneryus plays its songs as if there were no ║ │ │║ tomorrow. Every single guitar solo touches your ║ │ │║ brain and heart equally. Every keyboard solo is ║ │ │║ executed with otherworldly precision. The rhythm ║ │ │║ section is fast, juvenile and relentless without ║ │ │║ ever sounding exchangeable as it varies just ║ │ │║ enough to keep things intellectually challenging ║ │ │║ despite the incredible speed it often showcases. ║ │ │║ The vocalist sounds as if he had drunk from the ║ │ │║ Fountain of Youth. I know many singers who are ║ │ │║ at least fifty years old and still deliver the ║ │ │║ goods like Bruce Dickinson but Ono's performance ║ │ │║ really aims for the top. He should become a ║ │ │║ vocal coach to teach the secrets of his ║ │ │║ performances to ambitious young vocalists. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The third winning element on Ultimate Sacrifice ║ │ │║ is the record's diversity despite sticking to a ║ │ │║ consistent melodic power metal sound. Most bands ║ │ │║ think diversity equals experiments. Galneryus ║ │ │║ prove that this isn't the case. They only modify ║ │ │║ a few minor elements from one song to another ║ │ │║ but these simple changes are incredibly ║ │ │║ efficient. ''Wings of Justice'' is as fast as it ║ │ │║ is liberating and after succeeding so well with ║ │ │║ this particular type of song, the band offers a ║ │ │║ slightly slower and more rhythmic ''The Shadow ║ │ │║ Within'' that excells in its own niche. After ║ │ │║ the emotional power ballad ''Wherever You Are'', ║ │ │║ the band offers the more technically appealing ║ │ │║ ''Rising Infuriation'' where every band member ║ │ │║ proves that he delivers an expert job without ║ │ │║ forgetting to deliver a cohesive song with a ║ │ │║ solid structure. The closing epics ''Brutal ║ │ │║ Spiral of Emotions'' and ''Ultimate Sacrifice'' ║ │ │║ are roller coaster rides of emotions and skills ║ │ │║ where atmospheric and smooth parts meet ║ │ │║ passionate mid-tempo sections and unchained up- ║ │ │║ tempo climaxes. Each of the two final songs ║ │ │║ follows a perfect plot diagram like a classic ║ │ │║ theater play. Galneryus prove that the heart and ║ │ │║ the mind can successfully coexist in the power ║ │ │║ metal genre without necessarily getting too ║ │ │║ progressive. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Galneryus' Ultimate Sacrifice is a power metal ║ │ │║ magnum opus that appeals both to your heart and ║ │ │║ your mind. Any band that releases a melodic ║ │ │║ power metal album in the future should compare ║ │ │║ its record to this masterpiece. If you're not ║ │ │║ playing in the same league as this band, try out ║ │ │║ something else. This world needs more power ║ │ │║ metal albums like this one and not the generic ║ │ │║ flower metal approach or the overtly ambitious ║ │ │║ progressive or symphonic subgenres. Galneryus ║ │ │║ have set a new power metal standard around the ║ │ │║ world and should deserve much credit and respect ║ │ │║ for this ambitious achievement. Nuclear Blast ║ │ │║ should drop the genre heroes of yore from their ║ │ │║ roster and sign this band immediately. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ If you love power metal, you can't get around ║ │ │║ this album. Let me correct this: If you like ║ │ │║ music, you can't get aound Ultimate Sacrifice. ║ │ │║ No, let me even be clearer: If you have a heart ║ │ │║ and a mind, do yourself a favor and enjoy this ║ │ │║ record to the fullest. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Masatoshi Ono - Vocals ║ │ │║ Fumiya - Drums ║ │ │║ Syu - Guitars ║ │ │║ Yuhki - Keyboards ║ │ │║ Taka - Bass ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Enter the New Age [03:00] │ │ 02 - Heavenly Punishment [05:56] │ │ 03 - Wings of Justice [05:49] │ │ 04 - The Shadow Within [05:46] │ │ 05 - With Sympathy [06:10] │ │ 06 - Wherever You Are [06:36] │ │ 07 - Rising Infuriation [08:08] │ │ 08 - Brutal Spiral of Emotions [11:29] │ │ 09 - Ultimate Sacrifice [12:23] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [65:17 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
