The wait is finally over — AC/DC have hit us with a proper dose of new music. What's more, the band have set the release date of their new album POWER UP.
As promised, the band's new single "Shot in the Dark" is here, and you can get your fix now. The track appears on the band's upcoming comeback album, which will be out on November 13 via Columbia. As AC/DC recently explained, the record comes as a tribute to late guitarist Malcolm Young.
POWER UP marks the official follow-up to 2014's Rock or Bust and the band's 17th studio album overall. It features the lineup of frontman Brian Johnson, drummer Phil Rudd, bassist Cliff Williams, and guitarists Angus Young and nephew Stevie Young.
The album will be available digitally, on CD and vinyl. There's also a fancy deluxe version.
Specifically speaking of "Shot in the Dark," AC/DC's Angus Young told Rolling Stone the following: "It's got that great AC/DC vibe about it, great swagger, and a good AC/DC rock'n'roll chant. The title is a little bit cheeky because we all like a little nip [of alcohol] in the night or a few shots in the dark. I was very glad when the record company heard it [that] they felt it was a very strong song and should be the first one that people hear."
