Australian hard rockers AC/DC are reportedly in Vancouver to record their first new album in nearly a decade.
The website Metalunderground.com is reporting the band is recording at The Warehouse Studios in Gastown, but no official sources have confirmed it.
The Warehouse has a policy of not saying who is recording there, and no one at the band's management in New York was available for comment Monday afternoon. But a blogger named Kathleen on metalunderground.com wrote that she saw them dining at the Four Seasons Hotel.
This wouldn't be the first time AC/DC has recorded in Vancouver. In 1990, they recorded The Razor's Edge at Little Mountain Sound with the late Bruce Fairbairn, mixed a live album from their 1990-91 world tour at the same studio, then recorded their Stiff Upper Lip album at the Warehouse in 2000.
Vancouver's Mike Fraser has engineered at all the previous AC/DC sessions in town, which is no doubt why metalunderground.com is speculating he's working on the new album as well.
According to Wikipedia, AC/DC has sold 150 millions worldwide. Their biggest seller is Back in Black, which sold more than 42 million copies internationally and more than 22 million in the United States.
There is no word on how long the band will be in Vancouver, or if they will be touring.
The Warehouse hasn't seen too many international acts lately, although local punk legends DOA recently recorded there with producer Bob Rock.
But a who's who of rock acts have used The Warehouse in the past, including Metallica, Avril Lavigne, Bon Jovi, Nickelback, R.E.M., Motley Crue, Elton John and Elvis Costello, among others. Bryan Adams has recorded there as well - after all, he owns it.

Cette info peut très bien s'avérer vraie vu que la rumeur (qu'AC/DC rentrerait en studio en mars) courait déjà depuis quelques temps... croisons les doigts
