Canadian thrash metal outfit Soothsayer has signed a recording contract with CDN Records. The agreement sets the stage for the release of the band’s fourth studio album, titled Chapter IV, in the months ahead. As an early indicator of the project’s direction, the group has already made the track “Kick Throat” available as a preview single.
A Fresh Chapter for Established Thrash
The new deal marks a significant step forward for Soothsayer after years of independent activity. By aligning with CDN Records, the band gains access to wider distribution and professional support for its next full-length effort. Chapter IV will continue the group’s commitment to classic thrash metal while reflecting the current lineup’s collective experience.
Listeners can already sample the album’s tone through the lead single. “Kick Throat” delivers the aggressive riffs and vocal intensity long associated with the band’s sound. The track serves as both a statement of intent and an invitation for fans to anticipate the complete record.
Meet the Current Lineup
Soothsayer’s present roster combines long-standing members with a focused approach to songwriting and performance. The five-piece configuration brings together distinct roles that shape the band’s signature style.
- Simon Genest – Bass
- Denis Roy – Guitars
- Daniel Clavet – Drums
- Martin Cyr – Guitars
- Stephan Whitton – Vocals
This stable lineup has allowed the musicians to refine their material over successive releases. Each member contributes to the layered guitar work, driving rhythms, and commanding vocal presence that define Soothsayer’s thrash approach.
First Single Sets the Tone
“Kick Throat” arrived as the initial public offering from the upcoming album. The song showcases the band’s ability to balance speed, technical precision, and raw energy within a single track. Fans can stream the audio directly on YouTube, where it provides an immediate sense of Chapter IV’s direction.
Releasing a single ahead of the full album helps build momentum and reconnects the group with its audience. The choice of “Kick Throat” as the opening statement suggests that Soothsayer intends to deliver the high-octane thrash its followers expect while exploring new territory on the complete record.
What the Partnership Means Next
With the label agreement in place, Soothsayer can concentrate on finalizing and promoting Chapter IV without the logistical hurdles that often accompany independent releases. CDN Records’ involvement signals confidence in the band’s continued relevance within the thrash metal community.
The coming months will reveal more details about the album’s track listing, artwork, and touring plans. For now, the combination of the new deal and the preview single offers a clear indication that Soothsayer remains active and committed to advancing its sound. Fans of traditional thrash metal have reason to follow the band’s progress closely as Chapter IV takes shape.
