It’s time for rock – from “Back in Black” to “Power up”

20 years after the release of their seventh album Back in Black“, the group AC/DC announces their 17th album Power up.

Many people didn’t expect that the group will get back together after a numerous years without them. Well, they were wrong.

Their new album Power up is on the right track and it is here to recall the taste of old-fashioned rock-n-roll. 

Constantly reminded that their previous albums sound alike they needed to come up with a fresh new sound.

The band feels excited and are planning to make a tour after the coronavirus restrictions are lifted.

In 2014 the guitarist Malcolm Young had to retire after being diagnosed with dementia. Tragically, he passed away in November 2017. 

The album was co-written by Angus and Malcolm Young in 2017 before the death of Malcolm. The band pays a tribute to Malcolm with the album.
