Nieuw nummer Sum 41

Met een langverwachte comeback plaat 13 Voices in aankomst, heeft Sum 41 weer een nieuw tipje van de sluier opgelicht. De videoclip voor “Fake My Own Death” is eerder al online verschenen, maar de eer van officiële eerste single gaat naar het onderstaande nummer: “War”.

De track is compleet met statement van frontman Deryck Whibley en videoclip online gezet. In het statement is te lezen dat de zanger dit nummer uit persoonlijke overwegingen als eerste single heeft gekozen:

“so we have officially picked the first single now. this song is called “war”. i picked this song because of it’s importance to me. i feel this song literally saved my life. i was at my absolute lowest point of what seemed like a never ending recovery. i was at a tipping point where i could have easily just given up and went back to my old ways of alcohol abuse which would’ve ended up killing me, which at the time felt like a better option. when all of a sudden, in mid thought, these lyrics sort of appeared in my head and i grabbed a pencil and paper instead of a bottle and started writing. when i read it back to myself i realized i had written words that i would need to live up to if i wanted to survive. whenever i had any thoughts of giving up i would read these lyrics myself to remind me that i need to keep fighting harder and what it was exactly i was fighting for.”

13 Voices verschijnt op 7 oktober via Hopeless Records.
