Description:

AC/DC's first new album in six years, "Power Up," will be released! DC has continued to sit at the pinnacle of rock music, selling a total of 200 million copies of all of their albums. All of their 16 albums since their major label debut have sold over a million copies, including the historic 1980 album "Back in Black," which celebrated its 40th anniversary this summer and became the second best-selling album in the history of popular music, selling 50 million copies worldwide. It is the second biggest selling album in the history of popular music after Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in the world. Although they have had such an extraordinary career, they faced various difficulties with their last album, "Rock or Bust.It started with drummer Phil Rudd's arrest for misconduct just before the release of the album (replaced by former member Chris Slade), vocalist Brian Johnson was forced to leave the tour due to hearing problems during the world tour (replaced by Axl Rose, who volunteered to replace him), and At the end of the tour, bassist Cliff Williams announced his retirement. Most sadly, in November 2017, Malcolm Young, the band's founder and rhythm guitar prodigy who had led the band alongside his brother Angus Young, passed away at the age of 64. Malcolm was a songwriter and riff-maker of rare caliber, and his passing left the band and its fans with a tremendous sense of loss. Power Up," the band's first new album in six years, is an unabashedly AC/DC album, with every song co-written by Angus and Malcolm. Angus took many of Malcolm's ideas and turned them into a complete work of art.The album was produced by Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Bruce Springsteen, etc.) and mixed by Mike Fraser (Metallica, Aerosmith, Van Halen, etc.), as on the previous two albums. On October 1, the official comeback of Brian, Phil, and Cliff was also announced. With Angus leading the charge, the members are all determined to carry on Malcolm's rock spirit, making the album even stronger (and more powerful).
