There are only a few sure things in life: Death. Taxes. AC/DC. This fall, the band will drop Black Ice, an album that returns them to their hard rocking roots after flirtations with their bluesier side on their previous two albums. “I was hoping the songs would lend themselves to more of a — ‘pop’ is the wrong word, but hooky sort of treatment. Like, ‘Back in Black’ or ‘Highway to Hell’ and even ‘Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,’” says producer Brendan O’Brien. “I was trying to just make people remember, ‘This is the same band. I have missed this band. I love this band. Where have they been?’” Click below for more on the return of rock’s most consistent, hardest-rocking bands.
