Black Ice

The long awaited new studio album from AC/DC will be released Monday, October 20.

This is the first full length studio album of all new material from AC/DC since the release of "Stiff Upper Lip" in 2000. It is the band's debut album for Columbia Records and their 18th for Australia's Albert Productions.

Produced by Brendan O'Brien at the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC, "Black Ice" premieres 15 new compositions and performances including the first single, "Rock 'N' Roll Train," slated to impact radio around the world on August 28 with a video debuting in September.

"No Bull: The Director's Cut," a newly edited expanded DVD edition of AC/DC's historic performance at Madrid's Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas on July 10, 1996, will be released worldwide in September. "No Bull: The Director's Cut" has been remixed in Dolby Digital Stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and includes the original concert showcasing more than two hours of music as well as bonus features.

AC/DC will embark on a major world tour, the group's first since 2001, beginning late October.
