It’s a double album: the “Heaven” side has been described by frontperson Deryck Whibley as “early Sum 41 pop punk,” while Hell side is “newer, heavier Sum 41.”
“Once I heard the music, I was confident enough to say, ‘This is the record I’d like to go out on,’” Deryck says. “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.”
“I love Sum 41, what we’ve achieved, endured, and stuck together through, which is why I want to call it quits,” he adds. “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.”
