The Statement:
Being in Sum 41 since 1996 brought us some of the best moments of our lives. We are forever grateful to our fans both old and new, who have supported us in every way. It is hard to articulate the love and respect we have for all of you and we wanted you to hear this from us first.

Sum 41 will be disbanding. We will still be finishing all of our current upcoming tour dates this year, and we’re looking forward to releasing our final album “Heaven :x: Hell”, along with a final worldwide headling tour to celebrate. Details will be announced as soon as we have them.

Presenting The 2020 Juno Awards Nominees for Rock and Metal

January 23, 2020 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

So last year, I had decided to add the Canadian Juno Awards nominations and winners list to the content being presented over on my lifestyle website “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”. Since they had a Metal and Rock category, I also decided to offer up an edited post of the winning artists here on PiercingMetal.com – This year I felt that it would be fun to also add those same category rundowns from the nomination process for those readers who might be fans of these artists. I’ve even added the Alternative category in for good measure. Take a look.

Alternative Album of the Year:
PUP, “Morbid Stuff”
Black Mountain, “Destroyer”
Foxwarren, “Foxwarren”
Mac DeMarco, “Here Comes the Cowboy”
Orville Peck, “Pony”
