Australian hard rockers Airbourne have announced their new self-titled album will be released on August 28 via Spinefarm.
The album's latest single, "Alive After Death (Last Plane Out)", is a tribute to the immortality of rock 'n' roll and its icons.
A storming anthem of defiance and devotion, "Alive After Death (Last Plane Out)" channels the spirit of legends like Lemmy (Motörhead), Bon Scott (AC/DC) and John Bonham (Led Zeppelin).
The track is a high-voltage salute to those who live on every time their music is played.
Airbourne's frontman Joel O'Keeffe sings, "When you play this riff, you give me back my hands… when you drop the needle, I'm back in the band." He explains, "A fan of Motörhead brings Lemmy back to life by literally listening to his music and remembering who he was.
When we sing their songs, we give them heat and we put life back into them.
We always say Lemmy's not dead – he lives forever." The album was produced by Brian Howes, with engineering handled by Mike Fraser and mixing by Zakk Cervini.
