Album Description

Neo-classical rock guitar legend Yngwie J. Malmsteen returns with Rising Force with Unleash The Fury, a guitar shredder's dream album! From the opening riff of "Locked & Loaded" to the 4 instrumental numbers, Malmsteen and Rising Force (Dougie White - Vocals, Patrick Johansson - Drums, Joakim Svalberg - Keyboards), produce an album that excels in every facet of musicianship. Two of the instrumentals ("Fuguetta" and "Paraphrase") are both variations of themes composed by Bach, while "Cherokee Warrior" allows Malmsteen to show off his vocal talents as well.

A former member of Steeler and Alcatrazz, Yngwie J. Malmsteen turned the music world on its heads when his Rising Force album was released in 1984. The album hit #60 on the Billboard charts and earned him a Grammy® nomination. His next album Trilogy would continue to showcase Malmsteen's high standard of excellence, which continues to this day.

Yngwie J. Malmsteen is one of rock's greatest guitar heroes. He continues to be a featured draw in every guitar-oriented magazine on the planet. With a mix of technical playing, appreciation for classical composers, and hard rock edginess, Malmsteen is one of the most respected players around. He performed in the G3 tour in 2003 with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.

Unleash the Fury - Ingwie Malmsteen.......2007-03-15

Ingwie Malmsteen is one of the best hardrock guitar player.
Phantastic technic and music quality! Me like very.

His best metal CD to date.......2007-03-08

Not one bad song. Not one cheesy ballad. Just pure metal and pure Yngwie.

A surprise (almost) return to form.......2006-11-16

OK I gotta admit, the level of expectation for this album even from long timr devotees such as myself was tiny. And at the time of this albums release (2005) Yngwie had all the profile of an ant on the metal scene radar. But this album ain't half bad. Sure, after the horrific tryptych of Alchemy, War to End All Wars and the abominable Attack! the sound of a surgeon sawing your leg off would probably sound OK, but this album starts to recall the mid to late 90's second purple patch for the Swedish fretboard burner.

The opener Locked and Loaded (rips live by the way) gets down to business with few prissy pretensions and the second tune of Revolution is also a bonafide rocker. In fact this album is a touch like Attack! in that the majority of the songs are straight ahead rockers. Except the quality here is a vast improvement. And Yngwies production job is more in the mid spectrum of the sound range which means not everything is high pitched white noise which is an impression that's stuck in my mind in regards to War to End All Wars.

Other points to consider are the 18 tracks which would normally stunt an album but the feel of this album isn't half bad. It doesn't feel plodding when you listen to it from end to end. A few obligatory instrumentals do help to break things up a little though none of those here really grabbed me. I'd far prefer to the rockin' tune Cracking the Whip than yet another pretentious solo with a latin/muso name like Fuguetta.

Still playing wise the guy still has it and here there is a real sense of passion and urgency on this disc that has been missing from some of his recent albums. And some of the tunes do show some mobility, for example Winds of War (Invasion) which has a start reminiscent of the ballad come rocker Final Curtain from the Fire & Ice album only to swerve into a slow and weighty rocker. A number of other tracks here are also heavied up by being slowed down - not that it works for all the tracks it's tried on but this is something Yngwie has started to do a little more so it's nice to see some belated development from the guy.

Lyric wise this is the same sort of stuff Yngwie always blathers on about. Cold Scandinavian concerts totally in keeping with his history and gothic leanings. Though at least by not dealing much with issues or real life he can't exactly date, though there is some loss of human connectivity with such an approach.

I like this album. Can't give it more than three stars though as it IS a touch naff lyrically in places, slightly overlong and he hasn't gotten fully into stride again but for longtime fans or lapsed fans this is a good buy.

By the way - the enhanced section of this CD isn't much to write home about. Get yourself one of his tutorial videos for greater insight. But at least he's trying to add a little extra value and keep currenty.

And Yngwies band this week - Dougie White on vox here sounding vastly more comfortable and part of the team, Joakim Svalberg (keys) and Patrick Johansson (D).

Really Just More Of The Same.......2006-11-08

I cut my teeth technically as a guitar player on the Rising Force and Marching Out albums so I'll always have respect for Yngwie for giving us those 2 albums. At that time his technical ability and style were novel and us guitarists took note. However, I agree with most of the lukewarm reviews here. Yngwie does recycle the same old diminished runs, harmonic minors runs and scalar patterns over and over and has done so on every album since those 2 aforementioned. It would be refreshing to hear him do some soloing in a major key for instance...I know he can do it...he almost never does though. This style of music needs to have alot of refreshing nuance, tempo changes, and scale variations and arpeggios to be interesting...Yngwie doesnt seem to want to explore new musical areas...he needs too...Having said that this album isnt horrible...its simply just more of the same.

Muy parecido a los discos ochenteros.......2006-08-21

He escuchado que ha mucha gente no le gusta este disco, porque es demasiado parecido a los disco de los 80's que saco yngwie malmsteen , cual es el puto problema que tienen ustedes,si es parecido pero no tiene nada de malo, los discos de los ochenta de yngwie malmsteen son increibles, no tiene nada de malo que se parescan,yngwie sigue tocando a una velocidad y precision sobrehumana , si un disco de el se parece a los ochenteros es algo buenos BOLA DE PENDEJOS. Tambien recomiendo Attack!!! y Concerto with electric guitar in E flat minor

Solos speak the same lines again!.......2005-07-31

i concede what Illoc and Vespa wrote above. i am a malmsteen maniac, i just love his style and what actually rejoice my ears is his melodic trademark. eversince 'facing the animal' this is earnestly not a very constructive and a creative album despite his signature melodic stronghold. is he running out of ideas? unlike WTEAW it lacks a stretch of his flexibility, unlike ALCHEMY and ATTACK it doesn't stand bold in it's messages. what rescues UTF is the sheer vocal prowess of doogie white. thanks man. now i have to say when i heard 'locked and loaded' it blew me away right then. man this should be malmsteen's most played, hard-hitting song. i would give 5/5 for this song. it's pure malmsteen in your face. doogie's vocals it's too good to be true. one of my most cherished yngwie songs. the riff in 'cracking the whip' was trendy in line with mainstream (Numetal if that is what it is called) metal. not like malmsteen but trying to appeal to the new malmsteen army? can't tell. ah! the 'winds of war' invites you to go to war with him and strive for invasion. and i felt like i was in it. again you can't get a better melodically furious sound from doogie. just love it. cherokee warrior could be yngwie's best attempt at singing. the song is good. unleash the fury was different and really good too. as a whole most of the songs have guitar lines repeated and not different and worst for the first time i was dissatisfied and bored with his solos. and as a loyal fan of his i'm starting to worry too. still if you're a yngwie fan buy this because doogie is at his best in this or like me have to have it.

Category 5.......2005-07-13

finally got it downloaded. Im gonna start calling him hurricaine Yngwie cuz this buh-lows. Anyone who gives money for this should buy a $.5 coaster instead and theyll get the same amount of enjoyment.

Haven't we been here before?.......2005-06-28

You're going to read reviews below from people who love every movement of air that Yngwie creates with his string vibrations, and from others who think that he is the most boring and predictable player since the instrument was created.

I can understand where each side is are coming from, and, in a way, they're both right. Yngwie's my favorite player; not necessarily the best, but the most entertaining overall (to me) when you combine his technique, his ability and chops, and his presence. I've seen him eight or nine times in concert, and will continue to do so. But - and I've made this complaint before - as the title of this review implies, Yngwie seems content to continue staking ground he's already claimed rather than exploring new territory.

There's some good stuff here. Yngwie always comes through with a decent song to start the album, and "Locked and Loaded" is better than the last couple of albums' lead-off tracks - "Razor Eater" (which was a nice tribute to The Damnation Game, BTW) and "Prophet of Doom". But it doesn't reach the heights of "Never Die" or "Rising Force".

"Revolution" is more than competent, and, it's probably just me, but the flurry from 1:06-1:10 seems even more speedy than usual.

"Fuguetta" - Yngwie's played this as part of (one of) his solos in concert for decades, but it's good to see him finally lay it down in the studio, even with some of the string mutings.

"Cracking the Whip" and "The Bogeyman" both start off with cool heaviness, but then devolve into standard Yngwie and become overall average songs (although Bogeyman is the better of the two).

"Winds of War" - FAKE OUT!!!! The first minute+ of this starts out like it's going to be The Ballad, which I was waiting for (yeah, I love cheeseball metal ballads) but then the song changes over to stock mid-tempo fare.

"Magic and Mayhem" - I think this is better than any of the instrumentals on Attack!! or War to End All Wars.

I'm not going to continue with a song by song blow, but I have to mention how disappointed I was with "Let The Good Times Roll". It's actually a good up-tempo number with one of the better solos on the album - but when I saw the song title I thought, "Yngwie's covering Shirley & Lee? Sweet!" Yes, I thought Yngwie was about to take a risk and put his own touch on a classic doo-wop era song. Silly me.

For the veteran Yngwie fan, you're going to hear bits and pieces of other songs throughout this album. A few examples; the beginning vocals on "Exile" evoke "Anguish and Fear". "The Hunt" - "I Am A Viking". "Crown of Thorns - Crash and Burn". And then we have "Russian Roulette" - which starts off sounding exactly like Richard Andersson's Space Odyssey's "The House With A Hundred Windows". Maybe there's some classical piece that they're both giving a nod to? ( 12/24/05 - And Dream Theater's "Ytse Jam" has it, too. Haven't listened to WDDU for awhile, so I smacked my head in remembered memory when this came on.)

I've only played this all the way through a few times prior to writing this review. I'll keep it my player for a little longer so the songs can sink in a bit more; but I don't see myself sitting through this the whole way much more than that when there's plenty else out there. If you really miss the sound of older Yngwie, hunt yourself down a copy of Yngwie's The Genesis (which you can get for about fifteen bucks at guitar9 dot com.) Now THAT has some fire to it. Horrible vocals, but there's no comparison between the energy of Yngwie in that era versus the complacency of Yngwie in this one. Also, you'll hear the origin of lots of musical phrasing Yngwie used on his first several albums. Or else, and I'm about to commit the equivalent of blasphemy and heresy in the Church of Malmsteen, if you're looking for a more recent album that sounds like old Yngwie, try Joe Stump's Supersonic Shred Machine. That album's one-two punch of "Demon's Eye" and "Wrecking Machine" are more exciting than Yngwie's recent efforts. Go ahead. Excommunicate me. Say what you want, but at least I still believe in Yngwie enough to keep buying his albums.

Unleash the Fury is a good companion piece to his previous Attack!! album. By that I mean if you were satisfied with one, you'll feel the same about the other. That's neither intended as a compliment nor a criticism. It's just that the two sound very similar in terms of production and song quality. Take it for what it is.

I know the dyed-in-the-wool Yngwie fans are going to continue to rave about Unleash the Fury, but as for me, I'm putting Dragonforce's Sonic Firestorm on again. (Man, that album RIPS! Get it, get it, get it.) Unleash the Fury, which would be a worthy achievement for many players, is a collection of singles and (a few) doubles from a power player who should be swinging for the fences.

Time to move on... or quit.......2005-05-26

I dont understand why this kind of neoclassical guitar molestation has not only managed to survive but is still so enduringly popular. Yes , the players ARE talented, and yes, they play "beautiful" melodies, but they're beautiful in such a done-to-death, cliched way that you begin to wonder how these guys havent got bored of it themselves. When Yngwie emerged, his playing was fresh, and although most of his chord progressions could easily be traced back to Paganini and Bach, he was, at the very least, impressive. Now doubt about it , Yng is a great musician, and certainly one of the best in metal: terrific chops, great knowledge of the guitar, perfect pitch, experience - he seems to have it all. Yet what he lacks is the most important ingredient - compositional skills. There is basically no difference between YJM riffs that make up his songs and masturbatory YJM scalar runs that make up his inexpressive solos. I must admit, Attack!! surprised me : it had a number of very finely crafted songs and even the ones that always tend to end up as stinkers were done rather well. But on this record, there is NOHING. Nothing , that is, but riffs and choruses so forgettable you'll be wondering if you have Alzeihmer's , and solos so masturbatory and no-longer-original that you'll wanna give up woodshedding forever. I find it ironic that you can go to Blabbermouth and download the PRICELESS "unleash the fury" soundclip for FREE but have to shell out big bucks for this turd.

Yngwie is the Archetype.......2005-05-14

I bagged this album, and it's a killer record. I've been playing guitar for 18 years, and Yngwie is trully one of the most original, and intriguing guitar players of our era. I've seen many comparisons to Michael Angelo Batio, as well as others. There's no denying that these guys can shred, but Batio is as boring, and robotic as the music he writes. He's also insanely boring to watch live, and looks like at any minute he's about to start dry humping himself. Yngwie has been doing it longer, and better for many years now, and he does it with more style, class, and flair. There's also some 'clone' out there called Joe Stump, and I read someone's review stating that he could blow them all away. I did some research, and he looks, plays, and dresses like Yngwie, and even uses the same guitar, and amp set up!!! I don't know how people miss that. Either way, Yngwie is the original, don't settle for cheap imitations, or Michael Angelo Batio's musical masterbation, UNLEASH THE FOOKIN' FURY!

Penetrator Reviews.......2005-02-15

Artist: PENETRATOR
Title: Unleash The Fury
Genre: Power Metal
Origin: Canada

Bess Ross: Pro guitarist. Personal guitar tech for Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath during the Never Say Die tour. Bess Ross is a renowned showman, songwriter and producer. His previous recording acts include Anvil, Brawl and Travelin War.
Maxel Black: Singer songwriter, lyricist, pro vocalist. Maxel is known for his powerful voice and captivating live presence. His previous recording credits include Mastery (The Triad) and Maniacal (Sinkhole to Hell) features harmonic highlights by Eidolon guitarist Glen Drover.
Simon Vanderzand: Drummer/Engineer/Co-Producer, recorded the Penetrator CD Unleash the Fury at his studio, The Sound Lounge. Simon has been playing professionally since the age of sixteen. Previous recording acts include Static Eden and The Love Letter Refuge.
David T Green: David's thundering bass, artistic input, quick wit and stage presence completes the band.

PENETRATOR from Toronto and the rest of the world better be ready for this heavy and powerful debut from Penetrator, "Unleash The Fury". The phrase "action speaks louder than words" works so well in this case as PENETRATOR backs up everything they preached about what they would sound like before "Unleash the Fury" was released. Intense Power Metal, which seems almost non-existent in Toronto, with the only band that comes to mind being Eidolon, gets an amazing wake up call from PENETRATOR as Bess Ross (Guitars) and Maxel Black (Vocals) put together one of the best Canadian metal duo's not yet heard of in this country's history. These two guys along with David T Green (Bass) and Simon Vanderzand (Drums) tear through nine tracks of heavy metal passion and fury. The title track that leads off the CD has this superb power metal riff that will no doubt have you screaming for more. "Spread The Mind" and "Guns and Whiskey" explode with Bess Ross' incredible riff mastery. Maxel Black's vocals on "Unleash the Fury" take you to another world of the power metal genre. With so many bands out there following the same path one after another, PENETRATOR takes matters into their own hands creating a sound they can call their own. PENETRATOR is making a lot of noise! Some may try and follow suit, but only one shall remain on top. PENETRATOR has all the tools to remain number one for many years to come.

Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles 9/10
There is something to be said for a good riff, and on Unleash The Fury Canadian dudes Penetrator have hit the mark at least 30 times on their 9 tracks. Axeman Bess Ross follows a well trodden pathway established by riff masters Glen Drover of Eidolon and Jeff Waters of Annihilator in generating one punishing riff after another, with each immediately distinguishable and fresh in its' own right. Who'd ever think that thrash metal could be catchy, but each track has the ability to make a lasting cerebral imprint that will have you humming the riffs long after listening to this gem. Vocalist Maxel Black has a unique style and after pondering this for a while the closest comparison I can offer is Jeff Martin from Racer X. A truly infectious listen of old-school thrash.

Review by Eye of Shiva
If judge this band by its name, logotype, and front cover, you may guess they play Death Metal. If you read it this way you will be totally wrong! Penetrator plays a powerful and heavy traditional Heavy Metal in the vein of Judas Priest and Saxon - the vocal lines really will remind you of Rob Halford. "Unleash the Fury" is a type of album which you put to play and listens from the first through the last track! You bet! I can already picture you banging while the excellent tracks are played: "Unleash the Fury", "Spread the Mind", "Guns and Whiskey", "Muso in a Bottle", "Adulteress", "Wheels of Justice", "Shock Therapy", "Templars of Hate", and "Penetrator". This play is more like intimation to those bands who self label themselves as Heavy Metal! 9.0/10
