Great Progress: AC/DC Returns With Both a Blockbuster Album and Single
April 18, 2025 | Sydney, Australia — Rock fans, rejoice: AC/DC is officially back — louder, prouder, and more electrifying than ever. The legendary Australian rock band has made a thunderous return to the spotlight with the release of a brand-new album and a chart-topping single, proving once again that they are far from slowing down.
The new album, titled “Voltage Revival,” dropped today and has already started climbing international charts within hours of release. Packed with pure, no-nonsense rock anthems, gritty riffs, and that unmistakable AC/DC swagger, it’s a triumphant return that feels both classic and fresh.
A Single That Sparks a Fire
Leading the charge is the album’s first single, “Shot in the Dark Again,” a track that fuses signature AC/DC crunch with a modern edge. It exploded onto streaming platforms at midnight and is already being hailed by critics and fans alike as one of the band’s strongest singles in years.
“This song punches like ‘Back in Black’ and howls like ‘Thunderstruck’,” wrote one fan online. “AC/DC is back, and they haven’t lost a step.”
The single debuted at No. 1 on several rock charts and has reignited excitement among fans who have waited patiently for new music since 2020’s “Power Up.”
The Classic Lineup Returns (Mostly)
While longtime rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young remains irreplaceable in memory after his passing in 2017, this new chapter brings back the power players fans know and love. Frontman Brian Johnson, who had stepped away due to hearing issues, returns with vocals as strong as ever, thanks to new in-ear technology that’s allowed him to perform safely again.
Guitar god Angus Young, still dressed in his iconic schoolboy outfit, delivers riff after riff with his usual manic brilliance. Also back in the lineup are bassist Cliff Williams and drummer Phil Rudd, reuniting the band in near-classic form and fueling fan nostalgia.
A Tour Is Coming
Sources close to the band have hinted at a world tour announcement just around the corner, with stadium dates reportedly being finalized for later this year. If confirmed, it would mark the first full-scale AC/DC tour since 2016 — and one of the most highly anticipated rock events of the decade.
Rock Never Dies
For a band that’s been rocking stages for over 50 years, AC/DC continues to defy time and trends. “Voltage Revival” is more than just an album — it’s a statement: the torchbearers of rock aren’t ready to pass the flame just yet.
“Rock ‘n’ roll is in our blood,” Angus Young said in a brief statement. “This album is for the fans who’ve stuck with us all the way — crank it up.”
And crank it up, we will.
