News Confirmed!

AC/DC officially announced the name of their new album, and that's "Black Ice". Fans will get their hands on it on 20th of October. But until then we will enjoy the single "Rock 'n Roll Train", which comes out on August, 28 (video available in September).

It seems that the album's cover will be this one:

We're still waiting for the tour dates. AC/DC will probably start the rockin' in October, probably November until sometime in 2009. Hell, after a 8 years break I hope their batteries are fully charged. I'd kill to see Angus doing his duck-walk one more time!

And let's not forget about the track listing:

1. Rock ’n Roll Train
2. Skies On Fire
3. Big Jack
4. Anything Goes
5. War Machine
6. Smash N Grab
7. Spoilin’ For A Fight
8. Wheels
9. Decibel
10. Stormy May Day
11. She Likes Rock N Roll
12. Money Made
13. Rock N Roll Dream
14. Rocking All The Way
15. Black Ice

Wal-Mart launched an advertising campaign, so keep an eye on this page, song previews are coming soon!

‘Black Ice’ will be sold exclusively through Wal-Mart in the USA for $11.88. It will be distributed through Sony for the rest of the world.

About the 'Rock 'n Roll Train' video:

The video itself takes place with the band playing in front of an industrial factory backdrop although plenty of green screen footage was also shot during the afternoon. The sheer energy created in the room though was something to truly behold. Awe-struck at the fact that the band were literally within touching distance, both audience and band were firing on all cylinders. Angus, dressed in a navy blue school uniform, and Brian Johnson in a cut off Harley Davidson shirt were particularly inspired, whipping everyone into a furious frenzy.

After finishing their final take, the band all went to the front of the stage to shake hands and sign autographs for everybody and in doing so also let slip a few details of what to expect from AC/DC in the future. 'Black Ice' will feature 15 tracks with Johnson describing them to people as "14 songs that are all as good as this one ('Rock N' Roll Train')". He also said that Europe would see the band sooner rather than later when the band tour the album.
