For the final time as a collective, Grammy-nominated band Sum 41 have released their new double album, ‘Heaven :x: Hell,’ out now via Rise Records. ‘Heaven :x: Hell’ is the most ambitious album from the band yet – ‘Heaven’ is 10 tracks of snarling high-energy pop punk, while ‘Hell’ consists of ten heavy metal anthems spiked with fret-burning solos, thrashing riffs, and fist-pumping hooks. The band has been straddling the line of pop-punk and metal for their entire career, and ‘Heaven :x: Hell’ is a testament to their innovative sound and unmatched skill, proving them as pioneers 27 years after the bands inception.
The double album is aiming for nothing short of greatness, a perfect parting gift from the band to the fans that have supported them endlessly.
“I love Sum 41, what we’ve achieved, endured, and stuck together through, which is why I want to call it quits,” vocalist Deryck Whibley says on the new album. “There were so many times we could’ve broken up. For some reason, we kept sticking it out. I’m proud of that. It’s the right time to walk away from it. I’m putting all of my energy into what’s ahead. This is going to be the biggest tour of our lives, and I want to make it the best show we’ve ever done. That’s it.”
