Cherry Red / Hear No Evil are releasing “ALCATRAZZ ; The Official Bootleg Box Set Vol. 2 (1983-1984)“, the second box of unreleased live recordings by the band featuring Graham Bonnet & Yngwie Malmsteen.
Kicking off at the Golden Bear in Huntingdon Beach, California, in December 1983, Disc 1 features a healthy selection of songs from Alcatrazz’s debut. A Japanese tour was booked for early 1984, from which the Osaka date on 24th January 1984 was recorded at the Festival Hall, included here on Disc 2.
Disc 3 features a set recorded at Graham Central Station in Albuquerque in New Mexico. Highlights are ‘Too Young To Die… Too Drunk To Live’.
The Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio, had long been an important mid-west venue for touring rock bands in the 1970s and 1980s, so the band were guaranteed a warm welcome for their show there on 23rd May 1984, reproduced here on Disc 4.
This collection concludes with Disc 5’s gig on 8th June 1984 at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. As an extra bonus, CD5 finishes with an interview originally released as a single promo B-Side, a Public Service Announcement from Graham, warning against drunk driving, plus three instrumental demo tracks…

YNGWIE MALMSTEEN – Parabellum (2021)

On July 23, 2021 legendary Swede YNGWIE MALMSTEEN will release his new album ‘Parabellum‘ via Music Theories Recordings, the Mascot Label Group sublabel that focuses on the best that progressive rock and metal has to offer.
The name Yngwie Malmsteen has always stood for uncompromising excellence. In a career that now spans more than 40 years he has proven himself to be one of the greats. You can try to categorize him in any way you want, but the manner in which Malmsteen has continually developed his craft allows him to transcend any definition you attempt to impose.
Unlike some of his more recent outings, Yngwie explores his neoclassical roots again on ‘Parabellum’, and if you are a fan of his first Rising Force LP, you’ll enjoy this new CD like a madman…

YNGWIE J. MALMSTEEN – Trilogy [Japan SHM-CD remastered MiniLP] Out Of Print

The best, most celebrated ’80s albums from the mighty YNGWIE MALMSTEEN have been requested here in its Japanese remastered versions on high quality SHM-CD. All these cardboard sleeve MiniLP replica releases are out of print now.
Let’s go with the great “Trilogy“.
Yngwie’s third solo album “Trilogy” found him hitting his technical peak. The guitar playing here is above top notch, and easily blows everything else out of the water. What’s more, is that this album, despite the greatness of the previous Marching Out, is the foundation of the ‘Yngwie sound’.
Every Yngwie album made after this can be easily heard in “Trilogy”.

Most celebrated ’80s albums from the mighty YNGWIE MALMSTEEN have been requested here in its Japanese remastered reissue on high quality SHM-CD. All these cardboard sleeve MiniLP replica releases are out of print now.
Now it’s time for the killer “Marching Out“.
After flooring the hard rock / metal community with his phenomenal debut album, Yngwie Malmsteen followed up his stellar neo-classical assault on the senses with a more straightforward rocking album. Though perhaps initially viewed as a step in the wrong direction, this is the direction that Yngwie would maintain for the rest of his career with tremendous success.
“Marching Out” was the first of what would be several steps at simplifying the Malmsteen formula in to song format, and is easily among his best works…

“Yngwie J. Malmsteen’s Rising Force” was a revelation upon its release in 1984; Eddie Van Halen had introduced dazzling speed to the realm of rock guitar technique, and the compositions of Randy Rhoads had begun to fuse heavy metal with neo-classical influences, but no one before Yngwie Malmsteen was able to combine those elements with such blinding virtuosity.
