AC/DC Announce release of Studio Album “Black Ice”

On October 20, AC/DC will release Black Ice, their widely anticipated first studio album in eight years. Black Ice features 15 new tracks from brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, Brian Johnson, Cliff Williams, and Phil Rudd, produced by Brendan O’Brien at the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC.

“Rock ‘N’ Roll Train,” the album’s first single, will debut on August 28th. The video will premiere in September. And the band is set to kick off its first world tour since 2001 in late October.

While you might not be able to wrap your fingers around Black Ice until October no matter where you buy it, you can pre-order it today directly from AC/DC at the band’s on-line shop and at Walmart.com.

And since all good things come in pairs, AC/DC isn’t stopping there. On September 9, AC/DC is releasing No Bull: The Directors Cut, a newly edited, comprehensive HD DVD of the band’s famed July 1996 Plaza De Toros De Las Ventas concert in Madrid, Spain.  No Bull: The Directors Cut is now available for pre-order on DVD and Blu-ray in the AC/DC on-line store.
