AC/DC have released their comeback single ‘Shot In The Dark’ today (October 7) after teasing new material for weeks.
Previewed last week in the form of a short video clip, the song is taken from the recently reunited band’s upcoming new album, ‘POWER UP’, whose release date of November 13 has also been confirmed today. Find the tracklist below.
‘Shot In The Dark’ sees the beloved lineup of Angus Young, Brian Johnson, Cliff Williams, Phil Rudd and Stevie Young firing on all cylinders once again.
Listen to the song below:
In an interview published yesterday (October 6), singer Brian Johnson detailed his return to music and what he endured in the run-up to making ‘POWER UP’ after suffering hearing loss during the band’s ‘Rock or Bust’ tour in 2016.
Speaking recently about the band’s upcoming new album, their first since 2014’s ‘Rock Or Bust’, longtime AC/DC sound engineer Mike Fraser told the AC/DCFans.Net podcast about how the band’s songwriting and recording process this time around echoed the approach that was adopted on their last album.
“I think Angus [Young, guitarist] kind of came into this with a lot of ideas and riffs and not too many completed songs,” Fraser said. “But that was similar on ‘Rock Or Bust’, ‘cos him and Malcolm [Young] had written tons of songs before Mal got sick and eventually passed away [in 2017].
“So he’s got a whole treasure trove of ideas and riffs and all that. He’s probably spent a few years before we came in to do this record pooling ideas together and all that, and then when he came into the studio here, he just sat down with a whole suitcase full of little demo things he had done. And him and Brendan O’Brien, who produced the record, would sift through all the ideas and say, ‘Hey, that’s great. That’s a really good song. Let’s put that riff here.’”
The tracklist of AC/DC’s ‘POWER UP’ is:
1. ‘Realize’
2. ‘Rejection’
3. ‘Shot In The Dark’
4. ‘Through The Mists Of Time’
5. ‘Kick You When You’re Down’
6. ‘Witch’s Spell’
7. ‘Demon Fire’
8. ‘Wild Reputation’
9. ‘No Man’s Land’
