Heaven :x: Hell
Heaven :x: Hell is the eighth and final studio album by the Canadian rock band Sum 41, released on March 29, 2024, through Rise Records. A double album, Heaven :x: Hell is divided into two discs; the first disc, Heaven, features a return to the pop-punk style of the band's early career, while the second disc, Hell, follows the heavy metal sound the band pursued in subsequent years. It is their only release on Rise, having departed from independent label Hopeless Records in 2023.
Heaven :x: Hell received acclaim from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 85 out of 100 based on 5 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic wrote that the Heaven side of the album " the sweet spot among Billy Talent, Green Day, and Blink-182," while the Hell side is similar to 2016's 13 Voices and 2019's Order in Decline as it is an "emotionally charged whirlpool of rage and frustration."
