The Profile

Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force is the neoclassical metal project led by Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen. Debuting with Rising Force (1984), the group fused baroque/classical motifs with heavy metal, followed by Marching Out (1985), Trilogy (1986) and Odyssey (1988). Later releases include Attack!! (2002) and Unleash the Fury (2005).

Led by Swedish guitarist Yngwie J. Malmsteen (ex-Steeler, ex-Alcatrazz), widely cited as a pioneer of neoclassical metal. Notable collaborators mentioned in reviews include vocalists Jeff Scott Soto, Joe Lynn Turner and Dougie White, and keyboardist Jens Johansson.

Reviewers hail Rising Force as a neoclassical landmark and praise Marching Out’s songs and firepower, noting some repetition. Odissey gets love for Joe Lynn Turner’s vocals and integrated solos. Unleash the Fury is seen as a solid, old-school return. Attack!! takes heavy criticism for repetition and weak choices.
