Sum 41 announce their final album, Heaven :x: Hell

Heaven is ten tracks of high energy pop punk, while Hell consists of ten heavy metal. The band has been straddling the line of pop-punk and metal for their entire career, and Heaven :x: Hell proves them as pioneers 27 years after their inception.

On the new album, vocalist Deryck Whibley says, “Once I heard the music, I was confident enough to say, ‘This is the record I’d like to go out on.’ We’ve made a double album of pop punk and metal, and it makes sense. It took a long time for us to pave this lane for ourselves, but we did, and it’s unique to us.”

Alongside the announcement, Sum 41 has released a new single and music video, “Rise Up”. “Writing "Rise Up", I felt the way I did when I first got signed,” says Whibley. “I felt the pressure and the need to create something great, but I felt so excited at the same time."

“I love Sum 41, what we’ve achieved, endured, and stuck together through, which is why I want to call it quits,” Whibley leaves off. “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.”
