AC/DC have shared another song from their new album POWER UP. Listen to “Realize” below. The new track follows “Shot in the Dark”—the band’s first new song in years with the surviving classic lineup of Angus Young, Brian Johnson, Phil Rudd, and Cliff Williams.
AC/DC made their new LP in collaboration with producer Brendan O’Brien, who worked on both 2008’s Black Ice and 2014’s Rock or Bust. The latest album follows a tumultuous few years for AC/DC: Johnson left the band in 2016 due to hearing loss; he was temporarily replaced by Axl Rose. Williams retired in 2016. Rudd departed AC/DC in 2015 following legal issues (including charges of attempting to arrange a murder in New Zealand). Malcolm Young died in 2017.
