Unleash the Fury is an album by guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen and his group Rising Force, released on July 26, 2005 (see 2005 in music). It generally adheres to Malmsteen's trademark sound and the occasional classical cover. The album features Malmsteen's versions of two Bach pieces.

As stated in an issue of "Guitar World" magazine, he titled this album after an infamous 'airline incident', which occurred on a flight to Japan during the 'Odyssey' tour. He was drunk and behaving obnoxiously, until he fell asleep and was roused by a woman pouring a jug of iced water on him. Enraged, he shouted, "You've unleashed the fucking fury!" The audio from this incident was caught on tape (http://www.blabbermouth.net/yngwie_tokyo_flight.mp3) by a fellow band member.

This album was released as an Enhanced CD which features three videos in QuickTime format.
