YNGWIE MALMSTEEN: 'Spellbound' Cover Artwork, Track Listing Revealed - Nov. 11, 2012
Legendary Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen will release his new album, "Spellbound", on December 5.

The track listing for the CD is as follows:

01. Spellbound
02. High Compression Figure
03. Let Sleeping Dog Lie
04. Repent
05. Majestic 12 Suite 1,2 & 3
06. Electric Duet
07. Nasca Lines
08. Poisoned Mind
09. God Of War
10. Iron Blues
11. Turbo Amadeus
12. From A Thousand Cuts
13. Requiem For The Lost

Check out the cover artwork below.

Acclaimed heavy metal singer Tim "Ripper" Owens (BEYOND FEAR, ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH), who has been fronting Yngwie Malmsteen's band both live and in the studio since February 2008, does not appear on "Spellbound".

Owens was unable to join Malmsteen at the Getaway Rock in July due to scheduling conflicts with Tim's official Ronnie James Dio tribute band DIO DISCIPLES. Handling most of the lead vocals during Yngwie's set at the Getaway Rock Festival was bassist Ralph Ciavolino.

Swedish bassist Bjorn Englen, who was a member of Yngwie's touring band for five years, left the group earlier this year and is currently on the road with DIO DISCIPLES, which is fully supported by Dio's widow/manager, Wendy.

Yngwie's last album, "Relentless", came out on November 22, 2010 via Malmsteen's own Rising Force Records.

Yngwie is working on his autobiography. Described as "the only real and true story written by Malmsteen himself," "Relentless", will be released in early 2013. Yngwie has also launched an instructional web site, RelentlessShred.com.

Looks good as usual. I guess now we know who the singer is, Sebastian Bach. He's working on a secret project you know.

According to a press release, "it seems that the man Yngwie J. Malmsteen is truly Spellbound this time around. Not only does he produce some of the most extreme Neo classical guitar compositions, but he is also delivering the lead vocals as well as the other instruments. Included as well, some turbo charges bluesy stuff to boot, Spellbound indeed."

If Yngwie's singing, pray for a mostly instrumental album.

Even before I scrolled down to see the cover "artwork" for the first time, I already knew it would depict a picture of Yngwie striking some lame pose with a guitar and a buttoned-down shirt.

Surprising as usual. Yes he has stayed true to himself but he has been BORING as fuck, I have not seen someone so full of himself, be it musically of cover-wise. I could stand him up to Trilogy, then I was over with him.

Just listened to them.
Yngwie singing on one song on an album is a curious novelty.
Yngwie singing on many songs is overindulgence on his part.
Too nasal a voice to carry his music. No power.
The music is standard Yngwie. He's apparently not trying to win over any new fans, and he'll likely succeed.
