When is the last Sum 41 album coming out?
Sum 41 separates after 27 years of punk rock with one last album.
Heaven x Hell, which was first announced by Sum 41 over a year ago, doesn’t yet have a set release date.. Structured as a two-part LP, the album will return to the band’s nostalgic pop-punk sound in mid Heaven, while Hell has the more metal sounds they’ve played with more recently.
Going back to pop-punk on their latest album will be a full circle for Sum 41. “There’s a weird nostalgia that kicked in because of the pandemic. It all made sense to me why pop-punk is coming back: it’s music to feel good,” he added. There is something that is happy about it. Something young and innocent and free.”
Closing out their statement, the band wrote: “Thank you for the last 27 years of Sum 41.”
