Between Dread and Valor is the fourteenth studio album by power metal band Galneryus. It was released on 1 March 2023 via Warner Music Japan. [4] It is noted to be shorter than the band's other albums, consisting of just eight tracks including five new songs, two instrumentals, and a re-recording of a song originally by vocalist Sho. [5] One of the instrumentals, "Demolish the Wickedness" is described as "a progressive and technical instrumental", which is unlike the intro tracks for their other albums. [6] The band promoted the album with the "STRUGGLING BETWEEN DREAD AND VALOR" tour, in which the band performed 10 shows across Japan. [7] [8]
