Here’s an interesting release coming up from everyone’s favourite donut-denier, Yngwie Malmsteen. Originally released in Japan in 2002, The Genesis is a collection of recordings originally made in 1980, when Yngwie was 16 or 17. It’s a rare chance to hear Yngwie’s wild fretboard skills before he shifted to the US, joined Steeler, jumped ship to join Alcatrazz, left Alcatrazz, recording Rising Force, then proceeded to hire and fire every backing musician ever to pick up an instrument.
