Metal Anarchy

In a new interview with Metal Hammer, AC/DC frontman, Brian Johnson has revealed that the band’s 15th studio album is finished. The down side is the fact that this album will not have any contributions from Malcolm Young, who has been sick, during this time. Since Malcolm was unable to be part of the recording sessions, his nephew, Stevie Young, filled in for him. As for the album title, the band was considering calling it “Man Down,” but that is not official yet.

Johnson said the following about the album:

“It was brilliant over there. We’re done. I’m very excited and we’ve got some great songs.”

He said the following about playing without Malcolm:

“We miss Malcolm obviously. He’s a fighter. He’s in hospital but he’s a fighter. We’ve got our fingers crossed that he’ll get strong again.

Stevie, Malcolm’s nephew, was magnificent, but when you’re recording with this thing hanging over you and your work mate isn’t well, it’s difficult.

But I’m sure he was rooting for us. He’s such a strong man. He’s a small guy but he’s very strong. He’s proud and he’s very private so we can’t say too much. But fingers crossed he’ll be back.”

He added the following about the album title:

“I wanted to call the album Man Down. But it’s a bit negative and it was probably just straight from the heart. I like that.”
