AC/DC are an Australian hard rock band, formed in November 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, who continued as members until Malcolm’s illness and departure in 2014. Commonly referred to as a hard rock or blues-rock band, they are also considered pioneers of heavy metal and are sometimes classified as such, though they have always dubbed their music as simply “rock and roll.”
Between 1975 and 2014 AC/DC released 16 studio albums (14 available worldwide and 2 released only in Australia), 2 soundtrack albums, 4 live albums, 11 video albums, and 2 box set albums. Although a large number of AC/DC singles have been released, the band always refused to release any Greatest Hits-type packages; Who Made Who (which served as the soundtrack to Stephen King’s Maximum Overdrive, Iron Man 2, and the band’s various live recordings are as close as the group have come to such a compilation.
On 30 September 2020, AC/DC officially confirmed the return of Brian Johnson, Phil Rudd and Cliff Williams to the band, alongside Angus and Stevie Young[125] reuniting the Rock or Bust recording line-up. On 1 October 2020, AC/DC released a snippet of their new song “Shot in the Dark.” Shortly thereafter, the band’s official website published a few photographs of several different posters displayed in different cities (from different countries) – such as Ashfield (in front of Angus Young’s Ashfield Boys High School), Lille, London and Dallas – featuring the writing “PWR/UP” (stylized as PWRϟUP).
On 7 October 2020, the band confirmed the upcoming release on 13 November 2020 of their new studio album, Power Up, and released the first single taken from it, “Shot in the Dark”. The album’s track listing was revealed on their website via a spinning promotional album. Angus Young also noted that the new album, as was Rock Or Bust, is dedicated to Malcolm Young, much in the same way that Back in Black was dedicated to Bon Scott.
