Yep, AC/DC’s new album Black Ice will rock folks early next week. Black Ice is the first full-length studio album of all-new material in 8 years and was produced in Vancouver, BC. This new album features 15 new cuts including the album’s first single, “Rock ‘N’ Roll Train”. A long awaited album from AC/DC to say the least!
AC/DC is doing something pretty cool with Wal*Mart. In each of its 3,500 Walmart stores, Walmart will create a “Rock Again AC/DC Store” within the store. While the new $11.88 Black Ice CD album holds centerstage, it will be surrounded by new AC/DC apparel, DVDs, past albums, games, and even a social gaming station for fans to try out their rock-n-roll skills on Rock Band.
In addition, Walmart and Columbia Records have partnered with MTV to create an “AC/DC Rock Band Store” in New York’s Times Square and in Los Angeles to give fans in the these cities fast access to the band’s newest items. These pop up stores will open 12:01 midnight Oct. 20 to begin selling the album, AC/DC apparel, the Rock Band video game, and Rock Band branded apparel and accessories.
The AC/DC Rock Band stores will open Sunday, Oct. 19 at 10 p.m. The stores will be open through Jan. 4, 2009 in New York at the MTV Store in Times Square and at Hollywood and Highland in Los Angeles.
