YNGWIE MALMSTEEN To Release 'High Impact' Compilation Album - Nov. 6, 2009

Legendary Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen will release a new album called "High Impact" on December 8 (one day earlier internationally). The set is described as " a mind-boggling, high-paced compilation record with a surprise bonus track that is a unique song choice for the guitar god!"

Rising Force Records has begun releasing rare archival concert footage that many Malmsteen collectors will want to have. The first is Yngwie in Korea, which was madea available on October 13, 2009. This is the raw footage that was shot by the Korean media, and it features no bells and whistles.

Malmsteen in March released an all-instrumental acoustic album, "Angels Of Love", which contains rearrangements of his ballad songs played on acoustic guitar and string and choir arrangements only. It is a masterpiece showing the tender, delicate version of his classic songs as well as a new composition. Yngwie also released two DVDs via Rising Force Records in March — "Live Animal" and "Live In Budokan".

"Perpetual Flame", the latest full-length studio album from Malmsteen, was the first-ever Yngwie effort to be issued via Rising Force Records, It marked the debut of Malmsteen's new singer, ex-JUDAS PRIEST/ICED EARTH frontman Tim "Ripper" Owens.

	Can't wait for it. Wonder who will be on the bonus track?

	but few guitarists in this 'genre' are as accurate as Malmsteen. Malmsteen, Tony Macalpine and Jason Becker are probably the finest neo-classical players in metal.

	Yngwie Malmsteen jams rather well, but nobody wants to hear all those endless scales over and under all through every Goddamn song....... His songs go on and on and on with way too many notes for the average Joe to comprehend....... Again, a truly awesome guitar player, but Malmsteen couldn't write a hit / catchy song if his career depended on it........ His work grows old after countless minutes of scales and endless solos' and what not.......... Peace........ MR.BILL
