=== 1990s === In the early 1990s, Malmsteen released two albums, ''[[Eclipse (Yngwie Malmsteen album)|Eclipse]]'' (1990)<ref name="LarkinGE"/> and ''[[Fire & Ice (Yngwie Malmsteen album)|Fire & Ice]]'' (1992), with the singer [[Göran Edman]] (ex-[[Madison (band)|Madison]] and [[Vinnie Vincent Invasion]]), followed by ''[[The Seventh Sign (album)|The Seventh Sign]]'' (1994) and ''[[Magnum Opus (Yngwie Malmsteen album)|Magnum Opus]]'' (1995) with former [[Loudness (band)|Loudness]] singer [[Michael Vescera|Mike Vescera]]. Despite his early and continuous success in Europe and Asia, by the early 1990s heavy metal styles such as neoclassical metal and [[Shred guitar|shredding]] had gone out of fashion in the US. Around 1993, Malmsteen's future mother-in-law – who opposed his engagement to her daughter – had him arrested for allegedly holding her daughter hostage with a gun. The charges were later dropped.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.guitarsite.com/Yngwie.htm|title=Yngwie Malmsteen|website=Guitarsite.com|date=9 November 2011 }}</ref> Malmsteen continued to record and release albums under the Japanese record label [[Pony Canyon]] and maintained a devoted following with fans in Europe and Japan and to a lesser extent in the US. In the mid 1990s, Malmsteen released the albums ''[[Inspiration (Yngwie Malmsteen album)|Inspiration]]'' (1996) featuring three of his former singers Soto, Boals and Turner, ''[[Facing the Animal]]'' (1997) featuring Mats Levén on vocals and Cozy Powell on drums, followed by a live record ''[[Double Live!]]'' (1998) and another studio recording ''[[Alchemy (Yngwie Malmsteen album)|Alchemy]]'' (1999) featuring once again Mark Boals on vocals.
