SOOTHSAYER Troops Of Hate (Galy) Reviewed by : David Perri Rating : 8.0

Classic Quebec City thrash outfit SOOTHSAYER reunited in 2007 for the massive three-day 25th Anniversary of Quebec Metal festival that took place in Montreal and, during its set, the band improbably delivered standout performances that equally improbably re-ignited interest in this once dormant band. Troops Of Hate is the group’s first new record since 1989’s Have A Good Time (the band’s excellent 1986 demo, To Be A Real Terrorist, was re-issued by Galy Record in ’07 and is certainly worth checking out), and it’s immediately clear that Soothsayer has not mellowed with time or age; in fact, Troops Of Hate might be more caustic and aggressive than the band’s previous work, which is saying something. Playing with the kind of ferocity that was so prevalent in STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH, early DESTRUCTION or METALLICA circa Kill ‘Em All, Soothsayer is in the process of proving that it isn’t merely a nostalgia act and would, no doubt, feel right at home on a contemporary bill with TOXIC HOLOCAUST and MUNICIPAL WASTE.
