Forty two years after Rising Force the arpeggios have not slowed down, and Yngwie Malmsteen has Hell Or High Water out today through Music Theories Recordings and the Artone Label Group, with an official video for "(On The) Battlefield".
The video went up on his own channel to mark the release. The album is the newest in a discography that starts with the 1978 demo Powerhouse and the 1984 debut Rising Force, which Metal Archives files under neoclassical power metal and shred.
Malmsteen was born in Stockholm and has worked out of Miami for decades. He played in Steeler and Alcatrazz before putting his own name on the front of the records, and since 2012 he has sung on them as well as playing the guitar. His own label, Rising Force Records, carries the recent catalogue.
This is the first story we have run about him: the band page went up with this round.
