AC/DC set to release 'Black Ice' via Wal-Mart

As the band moves closer to revealing dates for its upcoming world tour, AC/DC has announced details for its first new studio album in eight years.

Due in stores Oct. 21, "Black Ice" will be available exclusively at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores in the US, as well as directly from the group's website.

The first single from the album, "Rock 'N' Roll Train," is set to debut Aug. 28, with a video for the song following in September. A complete listing of the disc's tracks is included below.

The album--produced by Brendan O'Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam) and mixed by the band's longtime audio engineer, Mike Fraser--is AC/DC's first studio effort since 2000's "Stiff Upper Lip," which has sold more than one million copies in the US since its release, according to the group's label.

The band will back up the new record with its first world tour since 2001, kicking off sometime in October. While dates are still forthcoming, the group's manager, Rob Light, recently revealed during a trade-conference panel discussion that the tour will run for more than a year and a half, according to Billboard.

Meanwhile, "No Bull: The Directors Cut," a newly edited HD DVD version of the band's July 1996 concert at the famed Plaza De Toros de las Ventas bullring in Madrid, Spain, will be released on September 9.
