Perpetual Flame

Untitled

Perpetual Flame is an upcoming album by guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen and his group Rising Force, due to release on October 14, 2008. It is his first album since 2005's Unleash the Fury and the first with ex-Judas Priest and Iced Earth singer Tim "Ripper" Owens. The album also features famed keyboardist Derek Sherinian on keyboards.

The album was also produced by Malmsteen himself, who also served as engineer, and was mixed by Roy Z (of Bruce Dickinson and Halford fame).

On tour, Malmsteen will be joined by Bjorn Englen on bass and Michael Troy on keyboards.

The proposed album cover is notable in that the public's reaction is almost universal derision, one commentator asking "Why not call it 'Donut Magnetic'?"
