Fan-filmed video of Yngwie Malmsteen's June 6 performance at Sweden Rock Festival can be seen below.
In an interview with Eddie Trunk conducted at Monsters Of Rock festival in São Paulo, Brazil in early April, Malmsteen spoke about his plans for the follow-up to his latest album, "Parabellum", which was released in July 2021 via Music Theories Recordings/Mascot Label Group.
He said: "I just finished recording a new album.
I've been in the studio almost five months straight." Regarding the musical direction of his new LP, Yngwie said: "Well, it's very Malmsteen-esque.
It will be everything you expect and then some." Asked if there are any vocals on the album or if it's all instrumental, Malmsteen said: "Oh, yeah.
I sing about four songs.
And then [the rest of it is] instrumental.
It's a mix.
But it's made especially for the vinyl.
So it's exactly 46 minutes [long]." Malmsteen also talked about his mindset going into making the new album.
He said: "I have the luxury of owning my own recording studio, so I go in when I'm inspired." The guitarist will embark on a European tour in June before heading home for a brief break and returning to Europe in July.
He will then visit Asia in September followed by a US tour in October and November.
