Black Ice is the 15th studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, produced by Brendan O'Brien and released worldwide between October 17 and 22, 2008. AC/DC were known to be working on the album as early as January 2006, with it being delayed because of an injury to bassist Cliff Williams and a change of record labels to Sony Music, and in turn Columbia Records. It is their first album since the release of Stiff Upper Lip in 2000, the longest gap between two AC/DC studio albums to date.

The album is their longest to date. The band recorded it in The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, Canada, the same studio as their previous album Stiff Upper Lip.

Black Ice sold around 1,762,000 units in its first week, shipping 5,000,000 copies worldwide. The album went to number one in 29 different countries, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In its first week, it sold 784,000 copies in the US alone, with it receiving a three times platinum certification in Australia and selling upwards of 110,000 in the UK. As of May 2009 the album has sold 8 million copies worldwide. Rolling Stone magazine also ranked Black Ice number 41 on their list "Top 50 Best Albums of 2008". Black Ice was also named the 3rd best album of 2008 by Metal Hammer.

Rock 'n' Roll Train was released on August 28. Also on that day was the release of a brief appraisal of the album by Rolling Stone magazine. Rolling Stone cites that "Brian wails about skies on fire, blood in his eyes, storms raging, lightning flashes, hard rain and pretty women...Angus Young shreds throughout...Malcolm Young, Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd � are solid as a rock." They also note that Angus Young uses a slide on the song "Stormy May Day". The magazine also named several tracks before the official release of the track listing.

Several days after the original version of the album was made available for pre-order, the band's website store listed two variations of cover artwork available for the CD in addition to the original red logo. These were a yellow logo and a silver logo. All three versions feature the exact same music and content with a black background. However, the grey designs behind the band's logo are different on each of the two different covers. There is also a hardcover "Deluxe Edition" (blue logo) available which contains a 30-page booklet with exclusive new illustrations, studio and live photographs of AC/DC.

The first 10 tracks were played on radio station network Triple M in Australia 9 pm Monday 3rd and again at 1 pm on Tuesday. Those tracks can now be previewed along with interviews with Angus and Brian on the Triple M website.

With the North American release of Black Ice on October 20 2008, Columbia Records and Walmart created "Rock Again AC/DC Stores" with the album Black Ice holding centre stage. It was the first time in the history of Walmart that such a large area of floor space was designated to celebrate the release of a new album. In October 2008, MTV along with Walmart and Columbia Records created "AC/DC Rock Band Stores" in New York, at Times Square, and Los Angeles, cities without actual Walmart store locations. "Black Ice" trucks were also dispatched on the streets of these two cities after the release of Black Ice, playing AC/DC music aloud and making various stops each day to sell merchandise.

Four different covers were released for this album, three of which featuring differently coloured logos (red, yellow, and white) as well as a fourth with pale blue lettering containing bonus material.

The album was also released as an LP on two 180 gram vinyl discs that came in a heavy gatefold package featuring the red lettering variation on the front. The LP was sold through the band's website, and was also made available through independent record shops in the United States. The band also released a 7" vinyl single that featured the song "Rock 'n Roll Train" on Side A, and "War Machine" on Side B. The 7" single came in a sleeve with its own unique artwork. The 7" vinyl was also made available in the United States through some independent record shops.

It is worth noting that on a few copies of the vinyl version, an accidental mispress happened and side 2 of The Clash: Live At Shea Stadium was accidentally included in place of Black Ice side 1B (War Machine through Wheels). It is currently unknown how many copies have The Clash tracks on them, and it is currently unknown as to how widespread this mispress is. This is not the first time an AC/DC album has had another band be mispressed on its albums.
