Flag of Punishment

Musically and vocally this band truly does rock. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5, is that though they - a Japanese band - make a great effort to write and thus perform in English, their work is just not 100% fluent English. I would like to sing along with them, but my mind is constantly arguing about the grammer. I do give them lots of respect for choosing to work in a foreign language, and pulling it off as well as they do. Honestly, this band is great and I do plan on getting more of their albums in the future.

I have been meaning to purchase this album for a long time and I should have done it sooner! It has everything from ripping solos to slower, soulful instrumentals. At 55 minutes it is a decent length although once you get hooked you will be playing this one non stop.

Llegó un día antes del plazo máximo de envío, venía bien empaquetado. Lo que no estoy segura es sobre la originalidad del producto, no logro ver cuál es el sello que te confirma que es original, pero está en perfectas condiciones.

The first thing you need to do when you pick this album up (why bother? Ill get to that.) is listen to it from beginning to end. I guarantee after one listen, you will be hooked for life.Galneryus, a band inspired by X, the creators of visual rock in Japan, are a band that infuse power, speed, harmonics, and ballads into their songs in a seamless wirework of power metal goodness. No one is sure where the hell they came from, but they were handing out a$$e$ when they got here. The singer has a massive vocal range, from powerful to vice, and the guitar solos are some of the best ive ever heard in my life. The three most prominent songs in the cd, Beyond Of The Ground, Struggle for the Freedom Flag, and In the Delight are an insanely complex mix of different styles, all combining into a harmonic power metal mix that never ceases to astound. Many of the more ignored songs, Child Of Free, and Holding the broken wings, are slower, yet still very powerful, (and two of my favorites) and there are some ballads in the mix as well here, to keep things fresh. I fully recommend this excellent cd.

The talented group of Galneryus stormed into metal with this release, showing that what the Japanese do, they do extremely well. Everything blends perfectly, from Syu's majestic solos to Yuhki's piano arrangements. Yama-B's vocals are just damn good. He has a great vocal range and shows it all throughout this album. This album is one that can't be skipped through from track-to-track. There are absolutely no fillers to be found in this album. I really wish I knew where these guys came from, but beside a few side-projects that some of the members take part in, none of them appear to have a history in metal, but these guys are right up there with the metal legends.I have never heard a band explode with such fury and greatness with the release of their first album but Galneryus blew away all critics. I really hate to list recommended tracks since everything is superb, but I will force myself to list a couple of ones that I've taken a strong liking too:Struggle For The Freedom FlagIn The DelightRequiemHolding The Broken Wings

I HAVE NO WORDS !!!

buen albun de estos japoneses su primero buenos solos,buenos temas recomendado no defrauda lo recomiendo compralo gustara recomendado faantastico ok

はじめの印象としては、メジャーデビュー当時のHELLOWEENに感じが似ていると思いました。古いですがHELLOWEENの『Keeper of the Seven Keys Part.I〜II』が好きな人は、きっと気に入ると思います。メロディアスでハイトーンのVocalなところも似ています。マイケル・キスクほどクリアーではありませんが。Syuのギターはアニメタルでよく聴いていましたが、オリジナルもカッコイイですね。インスト曲は哭きまくってます。

クサメタル大好きな自分には堪らない作品2nd、3rdの方が評価高いですが、楽曲的にはこの1stが一番充実してると感じますただ、この頃のYAMAーBは変に力んだような歌い方をしており、伴奏に押されている感が否めません。この辺りが影響して、次2作に軍配を譲ってしまった所でしょう。もし本作を再びレコーディングするとすれば、間違い無く最高傑作と称されるはず。それぐらい楽曲は優れています!メロスピ・クサメロ好きは是非!

構築美、テク、叙情性が高次元で融合！この時点でも、国内メタルの最高峰でしょ！
