SUM 41 DROP EMOTIONAL BALLAD “NEVER THERE”

ORDER IN DECLINE IS OUT JULY 19 VIA
HOPELESS RECORDS 

.

Sum 41 have dropped an emotionally charged ballad today with the release of “Never There.” Dedicated to single parents everywhere, the song is a personal letter from lead singer Deryck Whibley.

“Never There” is one of the band’s heaviest songs to date, but in an entirely different way. This marks the third single from upcoming album Order In Decline, out July 19th.

“I never wanted to write this song, it just kind of poured out of me,” said Whibley. “I tried to fight it at first but there was no stopping it. I could tell I was writing about my dad, who I’ve never met and throughout my life it has always been a subject that I don’t really think about or care about. It has never really bothered me and when I started thinking about why it never bothered me, I realized it was because my mum was so great and I have such a loving relationship with her. She was so strong as a single mother for my whole life that I never needed to think about my dad.” 

“Never There” joins previously released singles A Death In The Family and Out For Blood”, the latter of which has earned the band a spot in the Top 20 of a Billboard airplay chart for the first time in over 14 years. The single has also hit #1 at Sirius XM Octane, and has been streamed over 3 Million times on Spotify while the music video has been viewed over 2 Million times.

Armed with the most honest and intimate songs of his career, Whibley poured everything he had into the upcoming album. Producing, engineering, and mixing the album in his home studio, he pain-stakingly crafted and fine-tuned each song, highlighted by fast and full riffs, guitar solos from lead guitarist/backing vocalist Dave Brownsound, harmonious chords from guitarist Tom Thacker and the heavy, heart-thumping rhythm section of bassist/backing vocalist Cone McCaslin and drummer Frank Zummo.

Looking back at the band’s storied 23+ year career, Order In Decline is undoubtedly Sum 41’s heaviest and most aggressive album to date, while also being their most dynamic and raw. Due out July 19 via Hopeless Records, Order In Decline is available for pre-order now HERE.

After over 15 million records sold worldwide, a Grammy Award nomination, 2 Juno Awards (7 nominations), a Kerrang! Award in 2002, as well as multiple Alternative Press Music Awards, Sum 41 is quite simply a rock band – uncompromising and honest with no intention of slowing down.
