Sum 41 Announces New Double Album, 'Heaven and Hell'

In a Rolling Stone article released today, Sum 41 vocalist Deryck Whibley announced that the band Canadian pop-punk act will be releasing a brand new double album titled Heaven and Hell later this year.

The Heaven side of the album will tap into the band’s pop-punk roots that made them a household name with songs like “Fat Lip” and “In Too Deep”, while the Hell side of the album will feature the band channeling their heavier, metallic side. The article states the following:

What came out of this creative renaissance was Heaven and Hell. The first part of the two-part LP, known as “Heaven,” taps back into the current nostalgia surrounding pop-punk — a style Whibley started writing in before it became a thing again: “When that happened, I was like, ‘What kind of luck is that?’ ” he says. The album’s second, heavier side (“Hell”) features metallic tracks closer to the band’s most recent sound. “As I listened to almost all of it, it just kind of dawned on me,” he recalls. “‘Did I just make a double record by accident?’ “
