Sum 41 wrapped up a farewell tour in January and released their final album, Heaven :x: Hell, last year, but the Canadian punk band still has a couple treats left for fans, including a new cover of Rage Against the Machine’s “Sleep Now in the Fire.”
The song, which is presumably one of Sum 41’s final recordings, has been released as a Spotify single, paired with the original track “Landmines” from the aforementioned Heaven :x: Hell album.
While the studio version may be new, Sum 41 have performed the RATM classic in concert, including a memorable version at France’s Hellfest Open Air in 2023.
Sum 41 played the final show of their farewell tour January 30th at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, performing a 29-song set. However, frontman Deryck Whibley and company still have one more performance slated for this Sunday (March 30th) at the Juno Awards, where they are set to be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
