Rise US レコード& CD

Review: Much loved Canadian rock band SUM 41, known for their multi-platinum success, inked a new recordings deal with Rise Records for their final album, Heaven :x: Hell. The first single, 'LANDMINES,' accompanied by a video, set the stage for this highly anticipated release and soon won over fans. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the band expressed gratitude to those fans for their unwavering support throughout their 27-year journey. With over 15 million records sold globally, Billboard chart-toppers, a Grammy nomination, Juno and Kerrang! Awards, SUM 41 leaves an indelible mark on rock history, capping off their illustrious career with an album that promises to be a fitting farewell.

Review: The upcoming eighth and final studio album by Canadian punk and metal rockers Sum 41, Heaven :x: Hell centres on the ultimate duality of their sound. Divided into two parts, the first disc, Heaven, hears a return to the pop punk cant of the band's earlier career, while the Hell-ish second disc reflects their latter-day exploration of heavy metal. Though the name references a dualistic theme, the ultimate goal is the synthesis of the two sounds, showing just how far the band have come in their nearly 30-year career. Lead single 'Landmines', which on the surface of things tends more towards the aforementioned pop punk heaven, captures this tendency, incorporating rapidfire metal fills and deathly vocal snarls.
