AC/DC Black Ice
AC/DC - Black Ice released 17 of October, 2008. Black Ice is their first album since Stiff Upper Lip, 2000. The album was delayed because of the Cliff Williams having an injury and change of record labels from Epic Records to Columbia Records. AC/DC recorded at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, Canada, the same studio as their previous album Stiff Upper Lip. The album bust’s out 55:38 seconds of Hard Rock N’ Roll.

In 2004, Vocalist Brian Johnson was in an interview revealed that he would be writing song lyrics, for the first time since the band's 1988 album Blow Up Your Video, but the album's release disproved that statement, as all songs were again credited to Malcolm and Angus Young.

According to Angus Young, the term black ice refers to playing gigs during the winter in the Young brothers' native country of Scotland. In an interview, Angus said that "it rolled off the tongue" and that it reminds him of "radio warnings up north of black ice."

Black Ice sold approximately 1,762,000 units in its first week. The album went to number one in 29 different countries, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The first week of Black Ice on the market it sold in the U.S. 784,000 copies. As from December 2009 Black Ice sold 6.2 million copies worldwide. Metal Hammer named Black Ice the third best album of 2008. In Germany it was nominated Best Rock Album and Best Hard Rock Performance for the song War Machine.
