Sum 41 releases "Waiting On A Twist Of Fate"

Grammy-nominated band Sum 41 has shared their newest single "Waiting On A Twist Of Fate", out now via Rise Records, from their upcoming final album Heaven :x: Hell. The second single from the double album's pop-punk Heaven side harkens back to the earliest days of the band's pop punk roots. The track opens the album the only way long-time fans would expect Sum 41 to open an album – a flurry of guitar riffs, drum fills, and vocals powerful enough to raise the dead.
