Odyssey is an album by guitarist Yngwie J. Malmsteen released in March of 1988. Joe Lynn Turner sings on most of the songs, with the three instrumentals being "Bite the Bullet" - a brief intro to "Riot In the Dungeons", "Memories" - the outro to the whole album, and "Krakatau," a six minute piece that contains many themes Yngwie still plays in concert today. The songs are strongly influenced by 1970s prog rock and heavy metal, such as Deep Purple's Machine Head, Rainbow's Rising or Emerson Lake and Palmer's Tarkus. This was the last Yngwie studio album to feature Jens Johansson.
The song Rising Force was one of the principal songs for the concert openings, the solo of this song have become a classic for the guitar students around the world, the song is a re-edition from an old song "Merlin's Castle" of his early days in Sweden.
