#231 BACK IN BLACK Album Dive

Eleven years before Metallica released “The Black Album”, AC/DC released “The FIRST Black Album”, BACK IN BLACK, their seventh studio album overall and their first album featuring new vocalist Brian Johnson following the tragic and untimely passing of former frontman Bon Scott.

While AC/DC always had an aggressively intense, hard rock sound throughout the 70’s on their rise to glory during the Bon era, BACK IN BLACK is arguably the first “official” heavy metal album that AC/DC ever released, a perfectly produced classic from front to back and arguably one of the few albums in heavy metal history that flows just as seamlessly from Side 2 to Side 1.

Go ahead and crack open some “wine coolers” and prepare to get primed before we “unleash the bear”. Keep an eye out for the “Metal Nerdery Mankini” at our merch store, remember that “red velvet cake” is “not the same as dipping your wick in the blood bank” and JOIN US in the Bunkerpoon as we dive into “The Black Album before The Black Album ever Black Albumed” and fully embrace one of the biggest albums in music history with AC/DC’s legendary tour de force of heavy metal perfection, BACK IN BLACK.
