Legendary Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen has scheduled the following
in-store appearances during his UK tour:

July 10 - Professional Music Technology in Birmingham (2-3 p.m.)
July 12 - Professional Music Technology in Manchester
July 14 - GuitarGuitar in Newcastle (2:30 p.m.)

According to HMV Japan, Yngwie Malmsteen will release his new studio album in
Japan on August 6. The LP's limited edition will feature the high-fidelity
SHM-CD format (fully compatible with standard CD players) plus a bonus DVD
containing interviews with Yngwie Malmsteen discussing the songs on the album
and more.

Yngwie Malmsteen recently told Guitar World magazine that his forthcoming solo
album will feature his strongest lineup ever: Tim "Ripper" Owens (BEYOND FEAR,
ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH) on vocals, Bjorn Englen on bass, Michael Troy on
keyboards, and Patrik Johansson on drums. "It's going to come down like a
fucking atom bomb!" Malmsteen said. "We've already recorded 39 songs. I went
full out. I've got strings from Istanbul, and the drums are the heaviest I've
fucking heard. Ripper conveys the lyrics I write like no one else. I'll write
something like 'divide and conquer' and when Ripper sings it, it really comes
out that way. It's like Sparta!"
