The power hour album series#
Īlso after a series of teasers in the days prior, the music audio for the band's first single, " Shot in the Dark", was released the same day. Promotion and release Īfter a series of cryptic teases reading PWR/UP (stylised as PWRϟUP) on the band's website, the album's title was revealed to be Power Up on 7 October 2020. Every track is credited to Angus and Malcolm Young as Angus had raided the AC/DC vault of unreleased songs to record the album. The rumors were later confirmed as the truth, with the album having been recorded there over a six-week period in August and September 2018 with producer Brendan O'Brien, who also oversaw 2008's Black Ice and 2014's Rock or Bust, with some tweaking having followed in early 2019. Johnson, Rudd, Angus Young and Stevie Young were photographed in August 2018 at Warehouse Studio, a recording studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada owned by fellow musician Bryan Adams, suggesting the band were working where they had recorded their three previous albums. In 2018, rumours began circulating that AC/DC were working on their seventeenth studio album, with Johnson, Rudd, and Williams having returned to the group. It's a tribute for him like Back in Black was a tribute to Bon Scott. This record is pretty much a dedication to Malcolm, my brother. On 8 July 2016, bassist Cliff Williams announced that he would be retiring from the band once the tour was finished, citing health issues as reasons for retiring, and calling AC/DC a "changed animal". Ultimately, he was replaced with Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose for the remaining dates.
By 2016, lead singer Brian Johnson had started to suffer hearing loss, causing the final ten dates of the Rock or Bust tour to be rescheduled. For the tour, Rudd was replaced by Chris Slade, who had also previously played with AC/DC on their 1990 album The Razors Edge, several years after Rudd first left the band. Prior to the tour, drummer Phil Rudd was charged with attempting to procure murder, threatening to kill, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of cannabis. įollowing the 2014 album Rock or Bust, the group embarked on a seventeen-month world tour. įor the upcoming 64th Grammy Awards, the album was nominated for Best Rock Album, and "Shot In The Dark" was nominated for Best Rock Performance and Best Music Video. The single "Shot in the Dark" was nominated for Rock Song of the Year, but lost to Foo Fighters' " Shame Shame". Īt the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards, the album won Rock Album of the Year. Īt the 2021 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated for Best Rock Album and the band were nominated for Best Group. The album was generally well received by music critics and reached number one in 21 countries. This is also the band's first album since the death of co-founder and rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young in 2017 and it serves as a tribute to him, according to his brother Angus. Power Up marks the return of vocalist Brian Johnson, drummer Phil Rudd and bassist Cliff Williams, all of whom left AC/DC before, during, or after the supporting tour for their previous album Rock or Bust (2014). Power Up is the seventeenth studio album by Australian rock band AC/DC, released on 13 November 2020 through Columbia Records and Sony Music Australia.
