World-renowned guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen will perform Saturday, July 24, 8 p.m., at Ruth Eckerd Hall, 1111 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater. Tickets start at $32.75. Visit www.RuthEckerdHall.com. Tickets are limited as this concert will be presented at 50% capacity. While Malmsteen first came to everybody’s notice in Los Angeles with Steeler’s self-titled album in 1983, followed by Alcatrazz’s “No Parole from Rock ‘N’ Roll” the same year and “Live Sentence” in 1984, it’s been what he’s done since in a distinguished and far-ranging career as a solo performer and band leader that has momentously shown Malmsteen’s craft as one of the elite guitarists on the planet. “Rising Force,” Malmsteen’s first solo album, is now considered the bible for neoclassical rock. Released in 1984, it made it to No. 60 on the Billboard charts — an impressive feat for a mostly instrumental guitar album with no commercial airplay. The album also gained Malmsteen a Grammy nomination for best rock instrumental performance. He was voted Best New Talent in several readers’ polls, Best Rock Guitarist the year after and “Rising Force” became Album of the Year. “Rising Force” blazed a trail on the concert circuit that established Malmsteen as one of rock guitar’s brightest new stars and added a new genre to the music lexicon: neoclassical rock. In 1997, Malmsteen proved that he was much more than a rock phenomenon. After months of intensive work, he produced his first completely classical work, “Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E Flat Minor Op.1.” More recently, Malmsteen released “Blue Lightning” on Mascot Records. The 2019 album highlights not only his enduring dexterity and diversity, but also pays homage to those from the blues world who have fueled his artistic spirit for so long. “I have always played around with old songs, both live and also in the studio,” Malmsteen said in a press release from Mascot Label Group. “I did a similar album called ‘Inspiration’ a while ago, and it was Mascot who came to me and suggested I do a blues record.” Malmsteen explained that because he grew up in a classically trained family, people know him for playing in what is called a neoclassical style. “But when I got a guitar for my 5th birthday, what I would try to emulate were John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers,” he said. “I would jam along to what they did on record with Eric Clapton. That’s something people don’t realize about me: I do have a strong interest in the blues. So, when Mascot came to me with the suggestion of doing an album of songs in this style, it didn’t faze me at all. In fact, it seemed so natural.”

Yngwie Malmsteen will release his new studio album titled "Parabellum" on July 23 via Music Theories Recordings/Mascot Label Group. The lyric video for the disc's first single, "Wolves At The Door", can be seen below.
The name of Yngwie Malmsteen has always stood for uncompromising excellence. In a career that now spans more than 40 years he has proven himself to be a unique artist. You can try to categorize him in any way you wish. But the manner in which this supreme Swedish craftsman has continually developed his music makes Malmsteen sublimely transcend any definition you attempt to impose.
He now has a catalog of 21 solo studio albums, each of which has much to commend. Moreover, the guitarist played a crucial role in helping to establish ALCATRAZZ as a significant force in the 1980s. Malmsteen's artistry has always clearly incorporated a healthy virtuosity, but his talent goes well beyond a comprehensive control of the guitar. The man is a fine composer and, on recent releases, has also showcased a strong vocal presence.
One aspect of his approach has always shone through, and that is an abidingly deep respect for the music he plays. Malmsteen has constantly done whatever it takes to bring out all of the color, shade and hue embedded in each one of his compositions. Merely doing a very good job isn't an option. He wants to go — and does go — well beyond such limitations, into the rarefied realms inhabited by an elite number of timeless masters. This has never been more focused and informed than on "Parabellum". Malmsteen shares, "I always try to push myself on every album I do, and attempt things which are more extreme than previously. But what has helped this time is that I wasn't able to go on the road because of the pandemic. It meant I could take much longer in the studio, both to write and record. Because I am usually always on tour, which is great, I haven't had the luxury of spending a lot of time working on new music for more than 20 years. But I suddenly had no pressure at all on that front. And I feel the album has benefited enormously as a result."
