PARABELLUM - EDITION LIMITÉE VINYLE ROUGE TRANSPARENT

Description

THE GUITAR LEGEND IS BACK! The name Yngwie Malmsteen has always been synonymous with uncompromising excellence. In a career that now spans over 40 years, he has proven himself to be one of the greatest guitarists in the world. With a catalog of 21 solo studio albums, Malmsteen's art has always incorporated a good dose of virtuosity, but his talent goes far beyond his technical mastery of the guitar. Our man is a damn good composer and, on his recent releases, he has also showcased a strong vocal presence. Malmsteen has consistently brought out the multitude of colors, nuances, and shades that permeate each of his songs. This has never been truer than on this surprising new album 'Parabellum'. While the pandemic prevented him from touring, it did, however, allow him to devote much more time to the studio, both for writing and recording, which greatly benefited his creative process. This time, on "Parabellum", there are many progressive rock moments and Malmsteen makes no secret of his long-standing admiration for Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Also, there are passages on this record where one can certainly hear these progressive influences. We note the care and attention to detail that is in every single aspect of the album, but what truly makes it remarkable is the undeniable joy radiating through each of the songs. This album has a formidable joyful and spontaneous atmosphere. This new opus is a throwback in the best possible sense, to a time when albums were meant to be precious and cherished. It has depth, imagination, and authority. In short, a great record from a great artist!
