Sum 41, the punk/pseudo-thrash/occasionally metal band from Toronto, are back and based on the video for their new song “Fake My Own Death,” they’ve been spending some time on the Internet.
The band released the video for the lead single off of their new album, their first in five years, 13 Voices, and in it, the band finds themselves at war with the best and brightest the wilds of the Internet has to offer. This includes, but is certainly not limited to:
- Kim Kardashian’s naked posterior (the image from her now infamous/iconic Paper cover)
- Bernie Sanders taking a swing at Donald Trump
- Floyd Mayweather out for a stroll with Manny Pacquiao
- Bill Cosby’s head on the body of Chef from South Park
- The dude formerly known as The Most Interesting Man in the World
- Miley Cyrus on her wrecking ball
- Daenerys Targaryen
- Kermit the Frog
- James Franco
- Lance Armstrong
- The Macho Man Randy Savage (RIP)
- Brad Pitt circa Fight Club
- Shia LaBeouf
- Charlie Sheen playing craps
As for the song itself, it’s definitely fierce and hints at a rage-accumulating past few years for the band, perhaps urged by the return of guitarist/vocalist Dave “Brownsound” Baksh. I’m not sure the entire world was itching for a new Sum 41 album, but for fans of the band, their return to form is a heartily welcomed one.
