13 Voices is Sum 41's 6th studio album released on October 7, 2016. The album was planned since 2012 and was recorded from 2014 to 2016.
This is the first album with Sum 41's new drummer Frank Zummo and the first album since the return of lead guitarist Dave Baksh. It's also Sum 41's first album as a five-piece, as Tom Thacker, who replaced Baksh in 2006, remained with the band.
History[]
On June 7, 2016, Sum 41 announced that their upcoming album would be called 13 Voices and that it'd be released October 7 that year.
The 1st song released from the album was "Fake My Own Death", released on the 28th of June 2016, along with a music video directed by Marc Klasfeld, who is known for directing other Sum 41 videos such as "Fat Lip", "In Too Deep", "Still Waiting", "The Hell Song", "We're All to Blame" and "Underclass Hero".
This music video is highly satirical, playing on the idea of social media and internet trends being nauseating and fake by using the lyrics of the song "help me escape" and "cause I wanna feel, something that's real".
Their first single War was released August 25, 2016 with a new music video also dropping.
