Quebec City’s old-school thrash war machine SOOTHSAYER are back 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 stopped breathing.

Formed in 1985, SOOTHSAYER carved their name deep 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 into the underground with their infamous 1986 demo To Be a Real Terrorist , a tape that spread fast through tape-trading networks like wildfire.

From there, cuts like “Death Radiation,” “Troops of Hate,” and “Kill Oppression” locked in their reputation as one of the most unfiltered voices in crossover thrash. Bay Area velocity meets punk hostility, no polish, no compromise.

Their classic era release Have a Good Time and deep underground catalog helped define a distinctly Canadian strain of thrash built on grit instead of gloss and attitude instead of trend chasing. After stepping back, the original lineup including members from the earliest demo era reunited in 2007 and picked up right where the chaos left off.

Now in 2026, SOOTHSAYER return with “Kick Throat,” the first strike from the upcoming full length Chapter IV , also arriving via CDN Records. The track delivers exactly what longtime followers expect, razor wire riffs, breakneck pacing, and a venom soaked vocal attack that sounds like it crawled out of the pit still burning.

“Kick Throat” is available now alongside its official video, 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.
