Sum 41 has shared a new single, “Waiting On A Twist Of Fate”, taken from the Grammy-nominated band’s upcoming final album, “Heaven :x: Hell”.
The second single from the double album’s “Heaven” side, “Waiting On A Twist Of Fate” harkens back to the earliest days of the band’s pop-punk roots. The track opens the album the only way long-time fans would expect Sum 41 to open an album — a flurry of guitar riffs, drum fills, and vocals powerful enough to raise the dead.
“Waiting On A Twist Of Fate” is accompanied by a brand new music video, filmed at the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas. The clip pays homage to the music that inspired the formation of Sum 41 which the members hold close to their hearts to this day. The video features a cameo from CJ Ramone and footage of Sum 41 inside of Green Day‘s infamous tour bus the Bookmobile.
Due on March 29 via Rise Records, “Heaven :x: Hell” is the most ambitious album from Sum 41 yet — “Heaven” is 10 tracks of snarling high-energy pop punk, while “Hell” consists of ten heavy metal anthems spiked with fret-burning solos, thrashing riffs, and fist-pumping hooks. The band has been straddling the line of pop-punk and metal for their entire career, and “Heaven :x: Hell” is a testament to their innovative sound and unmatched skill, proving them as pioneers 27 years after the band’s inception.

Last year, Sum 41 announced their breakup after 27 years of making music together. “Heaven :x: Hell” is aiming for nothing short of greatness, a perfect parting gift from the band to the fans who have supported them endlessly.
“I love Sum 41 , what we’ve achieved, endured, and stuck together through, which is why I want to call it quits,” vocalist Deryck Whibley said. “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.”
