Swedish guitar hero YNGWIE MALMSTEEN‘s official biography entitled Relentless: The Memoir will be released on May 21st via Wiley publishers.
According to a press release: “Yngwie Malmsteen’s revolutionary guitar style—combining elements of classical music with the speed and volume of heavy metal—made him a staple of the 80s rock scene. Decades later, he’s still a legend among guitarists, having sold 11 million albums and influenced generations of rockers since. In Relentless, Malmsteen shares his personal story, from the moment he burst onto the scene seemingly out of nowhere in the early 80s to become a household name in the annals of heavy metal. Along the way, he talks about his first bands, going solo, his song writing and recording process, and the seedy side of the rock business.”
The 288-page book is available for preorder via Amazon HERE.

Norwegian singer JORN LANDE (MASTERPLAN, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ARK, THE SNAKES) will release his new album, Symphonic, on January 22nd in North America and January 25th in Europe.
Symphonic is not a proper new album, but rather a selection of tracks taken from Jorn’s previous studio releases, which have been carefully selected by the Norwegian singer himself and painstakingly remixed in order to add a grandiose classical orchestra arrangement to the existing hard rock structure.”
Jorn commented: “I didn’t want to choose the most obvious Jorn songs, as I didn’t want this album to come out as a typical ‘best of’ release. Some songs that are not too typical in a Jorn context were chosen simply because some great songs often tend to be forgotten and therefore deserve a second chance.”
Symphonic also includes the unreleased cover version of DIO’s ‘Rock n’ Roll Children.
Jorn further commented: “I hope you will enjoy the album and maybe you will even rediscover some songs you had forgotten…”
Tracklisting is as follows:
‘I Came To Rock’
‘Rock And Roll Children’
‘The World I See’
‘Burn Your Flame’
‘Man Of The Dark’
‘My Road’
‘Time To Be King’
‘Black Morning’
‘Like Stone In Water’
‘Vision Eyes’
‘War Of The World’
‘Behind The Clown’
‘A Thousand Cuts’
‘The Mob Rules’
The first single off the album, ‘I Came To Rock’, is streaming now at this location.

Legendary Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen will release his new album, “Spell Bound”, on December 5.
Acclaimed heavy metal singer Tim “Ripper” Owens (BEYOND FEAR, ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH), who has been fronting Yngwie‘s band both live and in the studio since February 2008, was unable to join Malmsteen at the Getaway Rock in July due to scheduling conflicts with Tim‘s official Ronnie James Dio tribute band DIO DISCIPLES. Handling most of the lead vocals during Yngwie‘s set at the Getaway Rock Festival was bassist Ralph Ciavolino.
Released on November 22, 2010 via Malmsteen‘s own Rising Force Records, Yngwie‘s most recent album “Relentless”, features striking vocals from Owens, who first collaborated with Malmsteen on “Perpetual Flame” (Malmsteen‘s first album for the Rising Force Records label).
Of the latest CD, Malmsteen said, “The album title really says it all. The drive to surpass my own accomplishments can best be described with one word — relentless. After all these years of composing and playing music, I still am passionate about pushing myself to the limit — to the highest, most demanding level of playing possible.”
Yngwie is working on his autobiography. Described as “the only real and true story written by Malmsteen himself,” “Relentless”, will be released in early 2013. Yngwie has also launched an instructional web site, RelentlessShred.com.

Legendary Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen is working on his autobiography. Described as “the only real and true story written by Malmsteen himself,” “Relentless”, will be released in early 2013.
A trailer for the “Relentless” book can be seen below.
As previously reported, Malmsteen has launched an instructional web site, RelentlessShred.com.
If you become a member of the site, you will receive access to “exclusive, never-before-seen content,” reads a message on the site.
Want to learn to play
guitar — and actually impress? Dying to learn Yngwie‘s techniques? Tired of watching nobodies, trying to teach you how to play Yngwie‘s songs? Now, why would you take lessons from a random, when you can learn from Yngwie himself?
For the first time in history, Yngwie Malmsteen is giving lessons on how to become a virtuoso like him! Inside, you will find lessons on everything from bending to six-string arpeggios. Also inside are tablatures, DVD’sand other items exclusive to this site. You won’t find any of these things, especially not Yngwie himself, on any other site! Relentless Shred is the only place to go to not only learn guitar; but to master it.
There are four levels of membership: Bronze ($34.99 per month), Silver ($49.99), Gold ($79.99) and Master Virtuoso ($99.99).
“If people are getting back into playing good guitar solos, I’m obviously all for it,” Malmsteen recently told Spin magazine. “I don’t understand how music ever got to the point where they were a bad thing.”
“In the early ’90s, something happened,” added Malmsteen, 49. “All these alternative bands came out and couldn’t play and made fun of guitarists who could by saying they were over the top. I remember thinking, ‘What is this shit?’ But to quote [violinist and composer Niccolò] Paganini — and I put myself in the class with him and Hendrix — ‘One must feel strongly to make others feel strongly.’”
Asked if shredding was in need of some humanizing, Yngwie said, “I don’t think so. Less is not more. More is more. These punk musicians couldn’t play and were heralded for it. They couldn’t even tune their guitars, yet people thought I was the self-indulgent one? I think every player worth listening to realizes now that limitations are for the lazy.”
