Director David Mallett joined the band for the global online premiere Monday ahead of the November 13 arrival of the group’s seventeenth studio record.
The band’s first new music in six years features riffs written by Malcolm Young during extensive writing sessions around the band’s 2008 record, “Black Ice”, with every track is credited to Angus and Malcolm Young.
"I know Mal's not with us anymore, but he's there with us in spirit,” explains Angus about his brother, who passed away in 2017. "This band was his baby, his life. He was always one [to say], 'You keep going.' His big line always, every now and again, he'd go... he always said, 'If you're a musician, it's a bit like being on the Titanic. The band goes down with the ship.' That's how he viewed it."
Angus brought in their nephew, Stevie Young, to handle rhythm guitar for the recording of 2014’s “Rock Or Bust” and its companion tour, and he’s featured again on the new album as part of a classic lineup that includes singer Brian Johnson, bassist Cliff Williams and drummer Phil Rudd.
