Sink The Shigure

The winter seas make life miserable enough, but the men must also harden themselves to rescuing survivors of U-Boat attacks, while seldom able to strike back. Traumatic events afloat and ashore create a warm bond between the skipper and his first officer. Atmospheric sea footage.

Fly on the Wall is the tenth studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released on 28 June 1985 by Albert Productions, and Atlantic Records.

If memory serves me, the mid 1980s weren't too kind to AC/DC. After a string of million selling albums, the band saw its sales decline, and it lost much of its thunder to more polished, radio-friendly groups (Van Halen, Motley Crue, Def Leppard). AC/DC could have jumped on a bandwagon, done the USA for Africa thing, and dabble with synths to be more "relevant" and "current" with the times. Instead, they released in 1985 "Fly on the Wall," which stubbornly follows the same formula these Aussies have been using since the early 1970s.

De formatie AC/DC is een Australische band, die in de jaren zeventig doorbreekt en een van de invloedrijkste hardrock-bands van dat decennium wordt. Maar ook in de daarop volgende decennia blijft de band invloed uitoefenen op de hardrock. Het zesde album Highway to Hell wordt in 1979 een grote hit. Wanneer frontman Bon Scott in 1980 overlijdt, dreigt de groep op te houden te bestaan. Maar AC/DC maakt een doorstart met de nieuwe zanger Brian Johnson en gaat opnieuw succesvolle albums maken zoals Back in Black (1980). In 2020 komt het zeventiende album Power Up uit, dat in vele landen een nummer 1-album wordt.

In May 1941, the most dramatic sea battle of World War II took place. Its protagonists were the two mightiest capital ships of the era - the German battleship Bismarck and the British battle cruiser Hood. Their confrontation resulted in the destruction of both warships and the loss of over 3,500 lives. In 2001 - the 60th anniversary of this apocalyptic battle - David Mearns led an expedition that discovered the wreck of Hood for the very first time and revisited the wreck of Bismarck. As well as tracing the history of these awe-inspiring vessels and the events that led to their fatal clash, this two-part documentary chronicles the progress of this mission.
