In which Canadian city was AC/DC's 2008 album 'Black Ice' recorded?
Answer
Vancouver
Answer
Vancouver
AC/DC recorded their 2008 album Black Ice in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The sessions took place at The Warehouse Studio, a facility also used for the band’s earlier album Stiff Upper Lip.
Recording began on March 3, 2008, and lasted roughly eight weeks. Producer Brendan O’Brien worked with engineer and mixer Mike Fraser, who had been associated with AC/DC since The Razors Edge. The band recorded much of the material live in the studio, using relatively few overdubs and effects to preserve the direct, forceful sound central to AC/DC’s style.
Black Ice was the group’s first studio album in eight years, following 2000’s Stiff Upper Lip. Its Vancouver sessions produced 15 tracks, including “Rock ’n’ Roll Train,” “War Machine,” “Anything Goes,” and the title song. The album was released in October 2008 and became a major international success.
A common mix-up is confusing the recording location with the album’s release market. Black Ice was distributed through an unusual physical-retail arrangement in North America, with Walmart receiving exclusive distribution rights. That commercial detail concerns where the album was sold, not where it was recorded.
