“The music just comes to me. It’s like that movie Amadeus”: Yngwie Malmsteen emerges from an “avalanche” of ideas with “80 to 90” songs and a scorching new album – and you can hear him unleash the fury on new single Now Or Never

Don’t be alarmed by that lightning on the horizon, by the peel of thunder in the skies overhead, that’s just the gods alerting us to the new that Yngwie Malmsteen – the latter-day Mozart of neoclassical shred guitar – has announced a new album. Mr Malmsteen has shared the video for its first single, and it will hit stores worldwide on November 13 via Music Theories Recordings/Artone Label Group. He has a work ethic all right, but even so, Hell Or High Water was a significant undertaking. “I had around 80 or 90 tracks finished, and then I had to decide which ones were the strongest.” For more information, head over to the official Yngwie Malmsteen website.
