In 1978 Yngwie Malmsteen formed a group around Himself as the lead guitarist, lead vocalist and as the SOLE composer, Song writer / lyricist. At that time it was called Powerhouse soon thereafter Yngwie Malmsteen named it Rising and consequently Rising Force. From the years 1978 1983 the line up changed all the time i.e. drummers, bass players, singers etc. came and went with Yngwie Malmsteen being the only constant throughout. Yngwie Malmsteen also always recorded his music relentlessly to try to improve all the time. In January 1980 Yngwie Malmsteen went into an 8 track studio for a couple of days and put down the first six tracks that you will hear on this album. It was very primitive and mostly live. (Yngwie Malmsteen have since re-recorded the bass) The Genesis album has never been released before, and includes Live footage from that time period.
