This album convinces with ║ │ │║ technically stunning yet vibrantly emotional guitar play. ║ │ │║ The keyboards and organs provide epic progressive ║ │ │║ soundscapes that add atmosphere and intellectualism at ║ │ │║ once. The record offers a dynamic and playful rhythm ║ │ │║ section that doesn't only support the guitars and keyboards ║ │ │║ but often takes the lead and adds new creative soundscapes. ║ │ │║ Last but not least, the melodic, powerful and victorious ║ │ │║ vocals make you want to raise your fists in the air and ║ │ │║ provide as much conviction, energy and imagination as the ║ │ │║ instrumental work. In numerous progressive metal bands, the ║ │ │║ vocals are less impressive, important and convincing but ║ │ │║ that certainly can't be said about Galneryus. Union makes ║ │ │║ strength and this winning line-up is the best this band ║ │ │║ will ever have. Add inspired lyrics in English and ║ │ │║ Japanese, a refreshingly organic production, a creative ║ │ │║ cover artwork and you have this beauty of an album. The ║ │ │║ opening instrumental ''Purgatorial Flame'' and the closing ║ │ │║ instrumental ''Roaming in My Memory'' make this album sound ║ │ │║ whole and offer a perfect balance between atmosphere, ║ │ │║ melody and skill. If I had been asked what could have been ║ │ │║ improved on the excellent predecessor, I would have thought ║ │ │║ about some instrumental overture and coda. This is exactly ║ │ │║ what Galneryus gives us here. Imagine a mixture of ║ │ │║ Helloween and Dream Theater and you will have a great idea ║ │ │║ of what these two short tracks sound like. They aren't ║ │ │║ fillers but essential to this album. The eight songs in ║ │ │║ between convince with grit, melody and speed. ''Never ║ │ │║ Again'' offers guitar solos that make you want to get down ║ │ │║ on your knees because you can bearely digest all the ║ │ │║ beauty, craft and power at once. ''The Followers'' on the ║ │ │║ other side shows that these excellent musicians haven't ║ │ │║ forgotten about writing catchy melodies that are ║ │ │║ immediately stuck on your mind. This track was indeed a ║ │ │║ perfect single choice. To be honest, this record would have ║ │ │║ needed a few more tracks of this caliber. What can we say ║ │ │║ about epic masterpiece ''The End of the Line''? Let's just ║ │ │║ state that these nine minutes incorporate everything fans ║ │ │║ like about progressive power metal and that this song is ║ │ │║ worth being discovered time and again. Galneryus' Into the ║ │ │║ Purgatory is a strong candidate for progressive power metal ║ │ │║ album of the year. It's actually the strongest genre ║ │ │║ release since the band's own predecessor Ultimate Sacrifice ║ │ │║ twenty-five months earlier. It's a matter of personal taste ║ │ │║ whether you prefer the slightly catchier predecessor or the ║ │ │║ more progressive successor. At the end of the day, you ║ │ │║ should know, listen to and own both records. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 1.
