YNGWIE MALMSTEEN The Genesis (2009 issue UK 8-track enhanced CD album - In 1978, Yngwie Malmsteen formed a group around himself as the lead guitarist, lead vocalist and as the SOLE composer, song writer / lyricist. At that time it was called Powerhouse soon thereafter Yngwie named it Rising and consequently Rising Force. From the years 1978 – 1983, the line up changed all the time with drummers, bass players, singers coming and going, and Yngwie Malmsteen being the only constant throughout. In January 1980, he went into an 8-track studio for a couple of days and put down the first six tracks that you will hear on this album. Primitive and mostly live [Yngwie Malmsteen have since re-recorded the bass], 'The Genesis' album has never been released before, and includes CD-Rom live footage from that time period.)
