Same artist as Yngwie J. Malmsteen — the "Rising Force" band name is the credit Malmsteen uses on his studio albums as a nod to his 1984 debut. Backing musicians have rotated throughout the band's history; key vocalists have included Jeff Scott Soto, Mark Boals, Joe Lynn Turner, and Tim "Ripper" Owens.
The Rising Force discography effectively constitutes Yngwie's solo work — over 20 albums starting with the instrumental debut Rising Force (1984) and continuing through Parabellum (2021). Style centers on Malmsteen's neoclassical shred guitar playing.
