AC/DC released a new behind-the-scenes video from the filming of their latest music video “Shot In The Dark.”

Embedded below, the clip shows the band in high spirits during the making of the glossy performance video. Per Classic Rock, the video was shot on a soundstage in Amsterdam at the start of 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic shut the world down, hence why there are no visible COVID-19 precautions seen in the behind-the-scenes video.

AC/DC’s new album, Power Up, comes out November 13 and is available for pre-save on major digital platforms here. The album is also available for pre-order in physical formats at ACDC.com where fans can find the album on CD, vinyl and special light-up box set that also comes with a 20-page booklet.
