Sum 41 have announced details of their upcoming final album, ‘Heaven :x: Hell’ – confirming that it is expected to arrive in Spring 2024.The band first announced news of the forthcoming album last year, and shared the new single ‘Landmines’ two months ago.

It’s 10 songs each side. I would call [‘Heaven’] early Sum 41 pop punk, and the ‘Hell’ side is like newer, heavier Sum 41 that we’ve kind of done the past couple of records, that sort of style,” he explained.“I don’t wanna call it metal, but it’s our version of what we do that’s heavy and metal-influenced,” he added. “Over the years, we’ve done both styles.”“We’ve had more heavy music than pop-punk music, but since we started with that on those first two records, it’s kind of like you’re labelled that for the rest of.
