#PWRUP the World !

Now the word is finally out, it's barely believable but we will get what we have been looking out for a very long time! 

• There will be a new AC/DC record!  With Power UP, AC/DC rises again from the ashes like a rock n roll phoenix, in a tribute to Malcolm, just like Black in Black, released 40 years ago was a tribute to Bon Scott.  Malcolm is in spirit all over the album as Angus recycled some of the many riffs he and Malcolm had put 'in a box'.
  
• Out 13 November, just in time to save the year! Angus' "Magic Cure"!
  
• Recorded in Vancouver at Brian Adam's Warehouse Studios
• Counting 12 tracks around 4 minutes each with already classic AC/DC titles - non of which have the word ROCK in the title:

            01. Realize    
            02. Rejection
            03. Shot In The Dark
            04. Through The Mists Of Time
            05. Kick You When You’re Down
            06. Witch’s Spell
            07. Demon Fire
            08. Wild Reputation
            09. No Man’s Land
            10. Systems Down
            11. Money Shot
            12. Code Red  

• First single is Shot in the Dark and was released this Wednesday (at 6 o'clock for Europeans.... of course, it needs to be dark still)!

1.  The classic lineup is back on the roll: Brian is back, Phil is back,  Cliff un-retired (how cool is that!), Stevie and Angus.  Well, Angus never left. 

2. Malcolm was always present but won't be heard playing on the album, according to Mike Fraser in a radio interview earlier today.  Angus returned to Australia, took a long break and then began poring through an extensive backlog of unreleased songs he’d written over the years with Malcolm. The majority of them come from the period preparing Black Ice in 2008 - when not playing video games. “There was a lot of great song ideas from that time,” Angus says. “At that time he said to me, ‘We’ll leave these songs for now. If we keep going, we’ll be overboard. We’ll get them on the next one.’ That always stuck with me. When I went through and listened to them, I said, ‘If I do anything in my life, I have to get these tracks down and get these tracks out.'”   So Malcolm's spirit keeps inspiring Angus.  What else!? Stevie does a great job, really, as he's able to get so close to Malcolm's signature style.

2. The first track from the album is called Shot in the Dark, as given away early by the hashtag creation on Twitter.  We got 30 seconds of the song and it hits you like a hammer.  The track will be released on Wednesday 6 am CET (for the early birds!) According to this car brand, track duration of Shot in the Dark is 4:20 (second 9 of this commercial):

3. After posters popping up worldwide (even in front of Angus's former shool in Sydney), a giant neon sign popped up today riverside London. It got removed 24h later.
