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.
