"Through the Mists of Time" Released: 11 June 2021
Power Up (shortened as PWR/UP) is the seventeenth studio album by Australian rock band AC/DC, released on 13 November 2020 through Columbia Records. Power Up marks the return of vocalist Brian Johnson, drummer Phil Rudd and bassist Cliff Williams to AC/DC. This is also the band's first album since the death of co-founder and rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young in 2017. Malcolm received posthumous songwriting credits for all of the album's songs, as they were never-before released tracks written by him and his brother, Angus. The album is dedicated and serves as tribute to Malcolm according to his brother.
Following the 2014 album Rock or Bust, the group embarked on a seventeen-month world tour. Prior to the tour, drummer Phil Rudd was charged with attempting to procure murder, threatening to kill, and possession of methamphetamine and cannabis. For the tour, Rudd was replaced by Chris Slade, who had also previously played with AC/DC on their 1990 album The Razors Edge, several years after Rudd first left the band.[1] By 2016, lead singer Brian Johnson had started to suffer hearing loss, causing the final ten dates of the Rock or Bust tour to be rescheduled.[2] Ultimately, he was replaced with Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose for the remaining dates.[3] On 8 July 2016, bassist Cliff Williams announced that he would be retiring from the band once the tour was finished, citing health issues as reasons for retiring, and calling AC/DC a "changed animal".[4]
This record is pretty much a dedication to Malcolm, my brother. It's a tribute for him like Back in Black was a tribute to Bon Scott.
In 2018, rumours began circulating that AC/DC were working on their seventeenth studio album, with Johnson, Rudd, and Williams having returned to the group. Johnson, Rudd, Angus Young and Stevie Young were photographed in August 2018 at Warehouse Studio, a recording studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada owned by fellow musician Bryan Adams, suggesting the band were working where they had recorded their three previous albums.[6][7][8] The rumours were later confirmed as the truth, with the album having been recorded there over a six-week period in August and September 2018 with producer Brendan O'Brien, who also oversaw 2008's Black Ice and 2014's Rock or Bust, with some tweaking having followed in Los Angeles in 2019.[5][9] Every track is credited to Angus and Malcolm Young as Angus had raided the AC/DC vault of unreleased songs to record the album.[5] Critics described the album's sound as hard rock,[10]rock and roll, and blues metal.[11]
While promoting the album, Angus admitted that the songwriting process was difficult as he had to compile riffs that he had written with his brother Malcolm prior to his death in 2017. He stated that their nephew Stevie assisted him in arranging the riffs before the band entered the studio.
Release and promotion
After a series of cryptic teases reading PWR/UP on the band's website, the album's title was revealed to be Power Up on 7 October 2020.[12] The album was released on 13 November 2020.[13] In its first week of release, it was projected to place either first or second on the Billboard 200 all-format albums chart, and to top the US and UK album sales chart.[14][15][16]
Prior to the album release, the music audio for the band's first single, "Shot in the Dark", was released on 7 October 2020.[17] A music video for the song was released on 26 October 2020.[18] The song topped the BillboardMainstream Rock Songs chart for two weeks starting in November 2020.[19] A 53-second short clip of a second song, "Demon Fire", was debuted ahead of the album's release on 30 October 2020 as well;[20][21] and was released once again on 8 December 2020.[22] On 7 December 2020, it was announced that the music video for "Demon Fire" would have its world premiere release on 9 December 2020 as the third single from the album.[23] Two days prior to the album release, the music audio for the album's second single, "Realize", was released on 11 November 2020.[21][24] A music video for the song was also released via YouTube on 13 January 2021.[25] A music video for the song "Witch's Spell" was published on YouTube on 9 June 2021.[26] It was also released as a single the same day.[27] On 11 June 2021, the song "Through the Mists of Time" was released as a twelve-inch single, with "Witch's Spell" as the B-side as a part of Record Store Day.[28] A music video for the song was published on YouTube on 30 September 2021.[29]
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the release received an average score of 79, based on 19 reviews, indicating "Generally favourable reviews".[33] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave the album a 7.2 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[32]
AllMusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated, "Good times have always been a crucial part of the band, but there's a depth of feeling to the levity on Power Up, as if the band decided that the best way to pay respect to what they've lost is by focusing on what they still have. They don't dwell upon the past, they barrel forward with a set of turbocharged blues and high-octane rock that doesn't merely sound good, it feels nourishing."[34] Daniel Sylvester of Exclaim! noted, "The fact that AC/DC came together to create something as satisfying as Power Up when the cards were down is a complete miracle upon itself, and AC/DC seem more than ready to celebrate."[37]Kitty Empire of The Guardian gave the album three stars out of five, stating, "If deja vu is a familiar sensation with AC/DC, few outfits have managed to eke so much variety out of so few constituent parts as these stalwarts of reductio ad absurdum. For the undiminished certainties AC/DC provide in the face of adversity, it's hard not to salute them."[38] Nick Ruskell of Kerrang! observed, "AC/DC have made an album that, even for them, is a high-voltage celebration of life, the best of times, and the absolutely indomitable, boundless power of a couple of chords and a four-four beat. In a time where getting together with your mates and partying and getting the beers in and shagging and living it up is all but illegal, as a reminder of just how powerful and timeless the very idea of these wonderful things are, AC/DC have never felt more necessary or vital."[40]
The album won the 2020 Metal Storm award for Best Hard Rock Album. It was also nominated for Biggest Surprise, but lost to Lucid Planet's Lucid Planet II.[47]
In Australia, Power Up debuted at number one on the ARIA Charts and, in the process, AC/DC became the first act to have an Australian number one album in five consecutive decades (1980s to 2020s).[50] The album registered 21,535 sales in its first week outselling the rest of the top 15 combined.[51] As of 12 December, it has spent four weeks at number one, becoming the equal longest number one album in Australia in 2020.[52]
In the United States, Power Up debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, with 117,000 album-equivalent units (including 111,000 pure sales) in its opening week.[53] It became the band's third album to reach number one on the chart, following For Those About to Rock We Salute You (1981) and Black Ice (2008).[53] Additionally, the album's tracks accumulated a total 7.8 million on-demand streams in the week ending 28 November.[53]
