Veteran rockers to release album later this year

AC/DC have confirmed that they are working on a new album, which they plan to release later this year.

In a posting today (April 18) on the band's website, they revealed that they have been recording new material in Vancouver with producer Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen).
