Rock N Roll Train
Black Ice is the 15th studio album by Australian
hard rock band AC/DC, produced by Brendan
O'Brien and released worldwide between October
17 and 22, 2008. AC/DC were known to be working
on the album as early as January 2006, with it
being delayed because of an injury to bassist Cliff
Williams and a change of record labels to Sony
Music, and in turn Columbia Records.
The album is their longest to date, with the band
having recorded it in The Warehouse Studio in
Vancouver, Canada, the same studio as their
previous album Stiff Upper Lip. It is their first album
since the release of Stiff Upper Lip in 2000, the
longest gap between two AC/DC studio albums to
date.
Black Ice sold around 1,762,000 units in its first
week, shipping 5,000,000 copies worldwide. The
album went number one in 29 different countries,
including Australia, the United Kingdom and United
States. In its first week, it sold 784,000 copies in
the US alone, with it receiving a three times
platinum certification in Australia and selling
upwards of 110,000 in the UK. The band's 15th
effort has been heralded as "the biggest debut
ever by a mainstream hard rock album."
