AC/DC album coming in October?

AC/DC's first album in eight years is apparently slated to arrive in October, according to a post at the web site of the band's label, Sony BMG Music. The news is part of a contest announcement that reads in part, "AC/DC are coming back with their new album this October and we're giving one lucky fan the chance to win a prized copy of this seminal record plus a copy of every album in their back catalogue..." No further information, such as an exact release date or title, is given.

The yet-to-be-titled disc will be the first from AC/DC since 2000's Stiff Upper Lip and is expected to be followed by a world tour.

Sony BMG recently revealed that the disc will be sold exclusively through Wal-Mart stores, which has caused controversy with critics and fans.
