Sum 41’s Final Effort Will Be a Double Album of Pop-Punk + Metal

Combining their two major influences, Sum 41‘s final album, Heaven :x: Hell, is a double LP composed of one full album of metal with an equal side of pop-punk, as singer Deryck Whibley revealed this week in statements about the forthcoming effort.

Sum 41 made public their breakup earlier this year. The band will embark on a farewell tour before they quit. As of Tuesday (Dec. 12), Sum 41 fans can watch the group’s music video for “Rise Up,” the latest single from the upcoming double album. (“Landmines” emerged earlier this fall.) Heaven :x: Hell arrives in full on March 29, 2024.

“I was confident enough to say, ‘This is the record I’d like to go out on,'” Whibley explains. “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.”

He continues, “I love Sum 41, what we’ve achieved, endured and stuck together through, which is why I want to call it quits. There were so many times we could’ve broken up. For some reason, we kept sticking it out. I’m proud of that.” However, it’s now “the right time to walk away,” he says.

Via NME, he adds Heaven :x: Hell is “an aggressive album. There’s not really any slow songs on either side of the record. Everything is very energetic. The pop punk stuff is fast and upbeat, while the heavy songs hit hard. There’s also some stuff that’s heavier than anything we’ve ever done before.”
