Yngwie Malmsteen

Yngwie Johan Malmsteen was flown over from his native Sweden to the USA in 1982 by Shrapnel Records boss Mike Varney, after being blown away by Yngwie’s demo tape. After some experience playing in the bands Steeler and Alcatrazz, Yngwie released his first solo album, Rising Force. This 1984 release was to become the first of 21 studio releases; the most recent being 2016’s World On Fire. For over three decades he has remained true to himself and uncompromising in his style. He remains the same today.
