After
spending nearly all of last year on the road Sum 41 has completed the most long-awaited
new studio album of their career. SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER, arriving March 25th
jumps out with the title tune single, "Screaming Bloody Murder," impacting
now at radio.
SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER, which opens up a second decade for
Sum 41, marks the first album to be fully self-produced Sum 41's Deryck Whibley.
The two-time JUNO Award-winning Canadian band is: Deryck Whibley (lead vocals,
guitar, keyboard/piano), Tom Thacker (lead guitar, vocals), Cone McCaslin (bass,
vocals), and Steve Jocz (drums, vocals).
SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER follows-up
'Underclass Hero', released July 2007. In the interim, Sum 41 issued their first
career-spanning collection, 'All the Good Shit: 14 Solid Gold Hits 2000-2008'.
It compiled singles from their debut mini-album 'Half Hour Of Power' (2000), and
all four of their full-length studio albums: 'All Killer No Filler' (2001), 'Does
This Look Infected?' (2002), 'Chuck' (2004), and 'Underclass Hero' (2007). Also
featured on 'All the Good Shit' is one previously unreleased track ("Always"),
and live performances of two favorites, "The Hell Song" and "Motivation,"
both also included in studio versions.
Prior to 'All the Good Shit', Sum
41's most recent studio album 'Underclass Hero' debuted at #1 (and earned instant
gold certification) in Canada and Japan - where it ousted Bon Jovi's album 'Lost
Highway' from the top in Japan after a one month stand at #1. In an unprecedented
move to launch 'Underclass Hero', the band performed the album live in its entirety
on their website, www.sum41.com. 'Underclass Hero' was produced (for the first
time) by the band's own Deryck Whibley, who had also written and produced tracks
for Avril Lavigne's album, 'The Best Damn Thing'.
'Underclass Hero' followed-up
'Chuck' (October 2004), #10 on the Billboard 200 with over 1 million copies sold
worldwide. The album was named for the United Nations worker who daringly rescued
Sum 41 from bombs and gunfire during the filming of a documentary in the Congo
with nonprofit group War Child Canada. Chuck spun off three consecutive Top 20
Modern Rock chart singles: "We're All To Blame," "Pieces,"
and "No Reason." For more information go to www.Sum41.com
