Heaven :x: Hell by Sum 41

Heaven :x: Hell, the eighth and final studio album from Ajax, Ontario's Sum 41, came out on March 29, 2024, the band's only release on Rise Records after leaving Hopeless in 2023. It's a double album that splits the band's personality in two: the Heaven disc goes back to the bratty pop-punk of their early years, while Hell dives into the heavy metal they chased later on.

Deryck Whibley leads the charge with Dave Baksh and Tom Thacker on guitars, Jason McCaslin on bass and Frank Zummo on drums, and they sound like they're having a blast on both halves: big gang choruses on one side, fast, snarling riffs on the other. "Landmines" was the first single, followed by "Rise Up", "Waiting on a Twist of Fate" and "Dopamine". The band called it quits in March 2025 after one last world tour and an induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
