AC/DC - Power Up

 

180-gram gatefold LP

Power Up is the long awaited new album from AC/DC, and the band's 17th studio album. For Power Up, the band reunited with producer Brendan O'Brien who helmed the double-platinum Black Ice in 2008 and the gold Rock Or Bust in 2014. Charged up for the next decade, AC/DC cut 12 new tracks for the album, proudly maintaining their signature sound and all of its powerful hallmarks.

Power Up was announced with the release of the album's first single, "Shot In The Dark," and features a lineup reuniting the four surviving members of the Back in Black incarnation (Malcolm Young died in 2017, and his nephew Stevie Young has been playing in his place since 2014). Members Angus Young (lead guitar), Brian Johnson (lead vocals), Cliff Williams (bass guitar), Phil Rudd (drums), and Stevie Young (rhythm guitar) are firing on all cylinders once again.

"It's been a long, long road," Angus told Rolling Stone. "But it's good that everyone came on board and we get to pump out a bit of new rock & roll for the world. At this time, with the pandemic, hopefully it gives people a few hours of toe-tapping enjoyment."

The album was recorded in late 2018 and early 2019, but Angus raided the AC/DC vault of unreleased songs before they began and every track is credited to Angus and Malcolm Young

"This record is pretty much a dedication to Malcolm, my brother," Young says of the band's new LP. "It's a tribute for him like Back in Black was a tribute to Bon Scott."

Power Up will be available in multiple configurations that will excite collectors and die-hard fans alike. The vinyl LP will be pressed on 180-gram vinyl and housed in a gatefold jacket.
