Sum 41 Unleash “Landmines,” First New Song in Four Years: Stream

The post Sum 41 Unleash “Landmines,” First New Song in Four Years: Stream appeared first on Consequence.

Sum 41 have unveiled the new single “Landmines,” the Canadian punk band’s first new song in four years. The tune comes as the band plans to disband following the release of a final album and a yet-to-be-announced farewell tour.

“When I wrote ‘Landmines’ I had no intention of writing an old school ‘pop punk’ song,” said frontman Deryck Whibley of the new track. “It just came out really quickly and I knew right away that this song felt special to me.”

While no formal album announcement has been made, it can be assumed that “Landmines” will appear on Sum 41’s final LP. Whibley has previously mentioned that the effort will be a double album titled Heaven :x: Hell, split between pop-punk and metal.

The band confirmed the album title when they announced their impending breakup earlier this year, stating, “Sum 41 will be disbanding. We will still be finishing all of our current upcoming tour dates this year, and we’re looking forward to releasing our final album Heaven :x: Hell, along with a final worldwide headlining tour to celebrate.”

While there’s still no release date for the album, it’s been an eventful few months leading up to the new single. Sum 41 recently finished a summer US tour with The Offspring and Simple Plan. Shortly after it wrapped up, Whibley was rushed to the hospital with pneumonia, with his wife Ariana expressing concern that he may suffer heart failure. She later followed up that the singer was back home, under the care of herself and his mother, who is a registered nurse.

As of now, Sum 41 are slated to play three Las Vegas gigs in October — Brooklyn Bowl on October 20th, and the When We Were Young festival on October 21st and 22nd. Tickets are available here.

Watch the video for “Landmines” below, and stay tuned for details on Sum 41’s final album and farewell tour.
