The discography of Black Country Communion, an English-American hard rock band, consists of three studio albums, one live album, one video album and six music videos. Formed in Los Angeles, California in 2009, Black Country Communion is a supergroup composed of bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes, guitarist and vocalist Joe Bonamassa, drummer Jason Bonham and keyboardist Derek Sherinian.[1] Working with producer Kevin Shirley, the band released its self-titled debut album through J&R Adventures and Mascot Music in September 2010,[2] which reached the top 20 of the US Billboard Hard Rock and Top Rock Albums charts,[3][4] and topped the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart.[5]

The following year, the group quickly returned with Black Country Communion 2,[2] which again topped the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart and reached the top 20 of both Billboard rock albums charts.[6][3][4] A music video was also released for Black Country Communion 2 track "Man in the Middle", which was directed by David Maske.[7] Later in 2011, the band released its first video album Live Over Europe, recorded during a European tour that year,[8] which reached the top ten of the UK Music Video Chart.[9] Live Over Europe was released as a live album in February 2012,[10] reaching number 23 on the US Hard Rock Albums chart and number two on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart.[3][11]

In October 2012, the band released its third studio album Afterglow,[2] which reached the top 50 of the Billboard 200 and number two on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart.[12][13] In March 2013, Bonamassa left Black Country Communion due to internal tensions with Hughes, with the bassist later confirming that the band had ended.[14] However, in April 2016 it was announced that Black Country Communion planned to reunite and return in 2017 with a new studio album,[15][16] with Hughes and Bonamassa beginning songwriting later in September.[17]
