The Seventh Sign is the seventh studio album by Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, released on 9 May 1994.
The album is a studio release that came two years after Fire & Ice and was produced with former Loudness vocalist Mike Vescera. The obi strip commentary on the Japanese edition describes it as: "The ultimate classical flavor! Yngwie's greatest masterpiece, finally complete!"
The cover design differs between the Western and Japanese editions. Yngwie has expressed his dislike for the Japanese version, recalling that he was furious upon seeing the triangular shape on the nose, saying, "They drew a triangle on my face." He also faced considerable difficulty selecting a vocalist, reportedly approaching or holding sessions with Don Dokken, Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan, Steve Perry, Kelly Keeling, and former band members Joe Lynn Turner, Jeff Scott Soto, and Mark Boals.
The Seventh Sign reached No. 11 on the Swedish albums chart and No. 47 on the Swiss albums chart, both in 1994. In July 2014, Guitar World magazine placed the album at No. 46 on their "Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994" list.
Steve Huey at AllMusic gave The Seventh Sign three stars out of five, saying that Malmsteen's extensive use of a wah pedal in the style of Jimi Hendrix makes the album "necessary for Malmsteen fans, even though his more neo-classical work (solos, instrumentals, etc.) seems less inspired here." He also heavily criticised the power ballad "Prisoner of Your Love", calling it "downright embarrassing."
