Rising Force

Rising Force is the first studio album by guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, released on 5 March 1984 through Polydor Records. It reached #14 on the Swedish albums chart, #60 on the Billboard 200, and later received a nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1986 Grammy Awards. In a 2009 article by Guitar World magazine, Rising Force was ranked first in the all-time top ten list of shred albums. "Black Star" and "Far Beyond the Sun" have endured as two of Malmsteen's most popular songs, as well as being staples of his live setlist. In a 2008 Guitar World interview, Malmsteen said of the two songs: "I'll probably play 'Far Beyond the Sun' and 'Black Star' until the day I die."
