Quebec City’s old-school thrash war machine SOOTHSAYER are back and swinging harder than ever with their new single and video “Kick Throat,” now out via CDN Records. This is not a comeback. It’s a continuation of a 40-year brawl that never really stopped.
Formed in 1985, SOOTHSAYER carved their name into the foundations of Canadian thrash during the genre’s most violent and defining era. Built on raw aggression, speed, and zero compromise, the band first detonated onto the underground with their infamous 1986 demo To Be a Real Terrorist , a tape that quickly spread through tape-trading circles like a controlled explosion.
From there, tracks like “Death Radiation,” “Troops of Hate,” and “Kill Oppression” cemented their reputation as one of the most unfiltered voices in the crossover thrash underground. Blending Bay Area velocity with punk ferocity, SOOTHSAYER never polished the edges. They sharpened them.
Their classic era release Have a Good Time and subsequent underground catalog helped define a distinctly Canadian strain of thrash in the late 80s, one built on grit instead of gloss and attitude instead of trend chasing. After stepping back for a time, the original lineup, including members present since that first demo era, reunited in 2007 and picked right back up where the chaos left off.
Now in 2026, SOOTHSAYER return with “Kick Throat,” the first strike from their upcoming full length Chapter IV , also set for release on CDN Records. The track delivers exactly what longtime followers expect, razor wire riffs, breakneck pacing, and that venom soaked vocal delivery that sounds like it was dragged straight out of the pit and set on fire.
“Kick Throat” is available now alongside its official video, premiering April 24, 2026, setting the tone for what is shaping up to be another unrelenting chapter in the band’s long running legacy of destruction.
Chapter IV promises more of the same uncompromising philosophy SOOTHSAYER have always stood on. No trends. No reinvention for approval. Just pure thrash delivered the way it was meant to be heard, loud, fast, and dangerous.
They don’t follow the times. They drag the past forward and make it bite again.
Thrash or be thrashed.
