Rising Force is the first studio album by guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, released in late 1984 through Polydor Records.[1][2][3] This was originally planned as an instrumental side-project of his then-current band Alcatrazz, but due to singer Jeff Scott Soto's appearance on the album, Malmsteen opted to release it as a solo album.[4][5] It reached No. 14 on the Swedish albums chart[1] and No. 60 on the US Billboard 200,[6] and received a nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1986 Grammy Awards.[7] The album is regarded as a landmark release in the shred and neoclassical metal genres.[8][9][10]
