AC/DC confirms new album in the works in Vancouver
(CBC) - Australian hard rockers AC/DC have announced they will be releasing their first album in eight years, to be launched in 2008.
"The waiting is almost over AC/DC fans can expect the band's next album of new material sometime later this year," the band said in a posting on its website Friday.
"The band are currently recording in Vancouver with producer Brendan O'Brien and long-time audio engineer Mike Fraser," they added.
It will be the band's first work of new material since the release of Stiff Upper Lip in 2000, which opened at No. 7 on the Billboard charts and sparked a year-long world tour.
O'Brien has worked with major bands including Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam and Velvet Revolver.
"He's a great guy," AC/DC singer Brian Johnson said about O'Brien in an interview with Los Angeles radio station KLSX Free FM on Friday.
"He knows exactly what we want, and so far, it sounds really good. I'm well pleased."
Johnson said he believes a tour will be in the offing but would not confirm it.
"Everybody's enjoying being back together again and the buzz is still there and the excitement."
Formed in 1973, AC/DC's list of rock anthems includes Thunderstruck, Let There Be Rock, You Shook Me All Night Long, Whole Lotta Rosie and Highway to Hell.
The band, whose only remaining original members are founding brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, has sold more than 150 million albums worldwide.
AC/DC was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2003.
