Sum 41 have unveiled full details of their first album in over half a decade, ’13 Voices’.

An intensely personal record, it deals with Deryck Whibley’s heroic battle to overcome alcoholism, which nearly claimed his life when he suffered liver failure in 2014.

Released on 11th October, in a post on Sum 41’s Facebook page, Whibley credits making the 10-track record with saving his life.

He said: “I am really excited to be releasing an album after everything I've been through recently. This new music represents the journey I've been on throughout the process of making this record.

“I had to fall in order to rise, and nothing feels better than to have something you love that you had to really fight for. I can honestly say that #‎13Voices saved my life and I cannot wait to share it with all of you.”
