Quebec City old-school thrash veterans SOOTHSAYER have officially unleashed their new full-length album, Chapter IV , via CDN Records . To celebrate the album's arrival, the band have also released a brand-new official visualizer for “Catfish,” giving fans another vicious taste of the record's relentless old-school attack.

Watch “Catfish” now.

With Chapter IV officially out, SOOTHSAYER continue a 40-year tradition of delivering raw, aggressive, uncompromising Canadian thrash metal. There is no attempt to chase trends, soften the edges, or dress up the band's sound for modern expectations. Chapter IV is SOOTHSAYER doing what they have always done best: playing fast, furious, pissed-off thrash with attitude to spare.

“Catfish” follows the previously released single “Kick Throat,” another savage preview of the album that showcased the band's razor-sharp riffs, breakneck pacing, and venomous vocal attack.

Together, the tracks set the tone for Chapter IV , an album that sounds like it came straight out of the underground but carries the experience of musicians who have spent decades refining their craft.

Formed in 1985 , SOOTHSAYER carved their name into the foundations of the Canadian thrash underground during the genre's most explosive era. Their infamous 1986 demo To Be a Real Terrorist spread rapidly through tape-trading networks, establishing the band as one of Canada's most aggressive and uncompromising underground acts.

Songs such as “Death Radiation,” “Troops of Hate,” and “Kill Oppression” helped define SOOTHSAYER's signature combination of Bay Area-inspired thrash velocity, crossover aggression, and punk-fueled hostility. Their classic-era release Have a Good Time and subsequent underground catalog further cemented their reputation.

After stepping away from the scene, the original lineup, including members from the earliest demo era, reunited in 2007 , reigniting the band's attack and continuing the legacy they had started decades earlier.

Now, in 2026 , SOOTHSAYER have reached another chapter with the release of Chapter IV .

And make no mistake, this isn't some nostalgia trip.

This is a veteran thrash band still swinging hard.

With Chapter IV now available and the new “Catfish” official visualizer out now, SOOTHSAYER are proving that four decades of experience haven't dulled the blade. If anything, they've sharpened it.
