AC/DC's first new promotional band photo (seen above) for their forthcoming Rock Or Bust album is missing a band member - drummer Phil Rudd.

AC/DC shot videos for their new songs, "Play Ball" and "Rock Or Bust", on October 3rd and 4th at Black Island Studios in Middlesex, England. Drummer Phil Rudd was called away at the last minute and was unable to attend the video shoots. He was replaced by Bob Richards (Shogun, Adrian Smith Band).

Columbia Records has announced the North American release of Rock Or Bust, the highly anticipated new studio album from AC/DC, available December 2nd. The album will be released in the band's homeland, Australia, on November 28th.

Rock Or Bust is the band’s first studio album in six years and features 11 new tracks. Rock Or Bust follows the immensely successful Black Ice album, which debuted at #1 in 31 countries upon its release in 2008 and has gone on to sell nearly 8 million copies worldwide. Rock Or Bust was recorded in spring 2014 at Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC and finds AC/DC once again working with producer Brendan O’Brien and mixer Mike Fraser.
